Aaron is 11 and Laura is 12.

Aaron is 1 year younger than Laura
Their combined age is 23

Let

Aaron = A
Laura = L

A = L - 1
A + L = 23

Plug in "L - 1" for "A"

(L - 1) + L = 23

Simplify, combine like terms

L - 1 + L = 23

2L - 1 = 23

isolate the L, add 1 to both sides

2L - 1 (+1) = 23 (+1)
2L = 24

Divide 2 from both sides to isolate the L

2L/2 = 24/2

L = 24/2

L = 12

Laura is 12 years old

Plug in 12 for L in one of the equations

A = L - 1
A = (12) - 1
A = 11

Aaron is 11 years old

Sonu's grandmother is 80 years old and Sonu is 20 years old. how many years ago was his grandmother 7 times as old as Son? (line

Aleks [24]

Answer:

10 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of years ago

x years ago,

Sonu's grandmother was 80 - x

Sonu was 20 - x

x years ago,

the grandmother was 7 times as old as Sonu

80 - x = 7(20 - x)

80 - x = 140 - 7x

6x = 60

x = 10

Grandma and grandpa are painting gutters of their house. Grand leans a 12 foot ladder against the house which reaches 9 ft up th

frozen [14]

Answer:

$3\sqrt{7}$ feet away from the house.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem may seem a bit confusing, but after analyzing it closely we can see that Grand leaning on a ladder against the house forms a triangle, in which they want to know one of the legs.

Assuming that it is a right triangle, we can apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

$L^{2} + L^{2} = H^{2}$

Since the ladder is leaning against the house, and the houses side is our right angle, the ladder's height is our hypotenuse.

Therefore, we must reverse, or do the inverse of our formula:

$H^{2} - L^{2} = L^{2}$

$12^{2} - 9^{2} = 144 - 81\\144 - 81 = 63\\l^{2} = 63\\\$

$l = \sqrt{63}$

$\sqrt{63} = 3\sqrt{7}.$

Thusly, the base is $\boxed{3\sqrt{7}{\text{\:feet\:away\:from\:the\:house.}}}$

Hope this helps! ((:

Find the value of X: 28 507 20 10

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Given the information, the value of x is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we have to find the ratio between the line segments in order to find the value of x.

We are already given two line segments that we can find the ratio for. We are given 30 and 12. In order to find the ratio, then we must divide 12 by 30.

12 ÷ 30 = 0.4

Now that we have our ratio, we can now divide 8 by 0.4 to find the value of x.

8 ÷ 0.4 = 20

So, the value of x is 20 which is the third answer choice in the problem.
