Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.

"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18

How old is Jim?

Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.

    3a - a = 18
    2a = 18
    a = 9

Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.

    3a
    3(9)
    27

Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.

In right △ABC with right angle B, m∠A=(3x−8)° and m∠C=(x−2)°.
julsineya [31]

Answer:

<A = 67

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.  We know a right angle is 90 degrees.

<A + <B + <C = 180

3x-8 + 90 + x-2 =180

Combine like terms

4x-10+90 = 180

4x+80 =180

Subtract 80 from each side

4x+80-80=180-80

4x=100

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 100/4

x=25

But we want to know <A

<A = 3x-8

 Substitute x=25

    =3(25) -8

    =75-8

   = 67
