Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
By the pythagorean theorem, x^2 = 13^2-12^2. 13^2-12^2 = 25, and the square root of 25 is 5
This question is funny because the total he has to walk from school back home is 12 MILES. The question tries to confuse you by using the term “two-thirds”. Here is my point: He only had to walk a total of twelve miles. Why would the answer be 16, 18, and 24 miles when he only has to walk 12??? This is just common sense and I wouldn’t overthink the question. I hope I helped! Glad I caught this. Have a great night.

x = leg 1
x + 14 = leg 2
Hi there
Let's order the transactions
on May 1. 150
less On May 20 100 books were sold
Less June 3, 31 books were purchased by the students
Add on June 15 25 books arrived
Add On June 17, a shipment of 150 books arrived
So
the number on hand on June 17
150−100−31+25+150
=194....answer
Hope it helps
If we break the answer down, we can solve this pretty easily.
We can represent Dic's age with x.
Tom's age is 5 MORE (+5) than TWICE (2x) Dic's age (x)
Therefore, our answer is 5+2x (Five more than twice Dic's age)
The correct answer is C: 5+2x
