8 0

Answer:

12 years younger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jan's age be J and Karyn's age be K.

$J= \frac{2}{3} K$

Jan's age 8 years ago is 2/5 of Karyn's age 4 yeaRs from now.

$J-8 = \frac{2}{5} (K+4)$

=> $(\frac{2}{3} - \frac{2}{5} ) K = \frac{8}{5} + 8$

=> 4K = 48 X 3

=> K= 36.

=> J= 24.

So Jan is 12 years younger.

In triangleABC, angle B= 90 degrees, cos(C)=15/17 and AB = 16 what is the measure of Angle A, Angle C and angle AC

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

m∠C=28°, m∠A=62°, AC=34.1 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given In ΔABC, m∠B = 90°, , and AB = 16 units. we have to find m∠A, m∠C, and AC.

As, cos(C)={15}/{17}

⇒ angle C=cos^{-1}(\frac{15}{17})=28.07^{\circ}\sim28^{\circ}

By angle sum property of triangle,

m∠A+m∠B+m∠C=180°

⇒ m∠A+90°+28°=180°

⇒ m∠A=62°

Now, we have to find the length of AC

sin 28^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{AC}

⇒ AC=\frac{16}{sin 28^{\circ}}=34.1units

The length of AC is 34.1 units

1B: -3(9x-q)
-27x + 3q

Step 1: Distribute the -3 to the 9x to get -27x.
Step 2: Distribute the -3 to the -q.

2B: 2(12+5p)
24 + 10p

Step 1: Distribute the 2 to the 12 to get 24.
Step 2: Distribute the 2 to the 5p to get 10p.

3B: -7(-8y+7)
56y - 49

Step 1: Distribute the -7 to the -8y to get 56y.
Step 2: Distribute the -7 to the 7 to get -49.

4B: 10(2+7c)
20 + 70c

Step 1: Distribute the 10 to the 2 to get 20.
Step 2: Distribute the 10 to the 7c to get 70c.

5B: -8(7+11k)
-56 - 88k

Step 1: Distribute the -8 to the 7 to get -56.
Step 2: Distribute the -8 to the 11k to get -88k.

6B: -(3-7u)
-1(3-7u)
-3 + 7u

Step 1: Place a 1 after the negative symbol to symbolize -1.
Step 2: Distribute the -1 to the three to get -3.
Step 3: Distribute the -1 to the -7u to get 7u.

7B: -6(5p + s)
-30p - 6s

Step 1: Distribute the -6 to the 5p to get -30p.
Step 2: Distribute the -6 to the s to get -6s.
