Celeste is 30 and Beth is 25

let x be Celeste's age now then Beth is x - 5

next year they will be 1 year older

Celeste's age will be x + 1 and Beth will be x - 5 + 1 = x - 4

the sum of their ages is therefore

x + 1 + x - 4 = 57

2x - 3 = 57 ( add 3 to both sides )

2x = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 30

Celeste is 30 and Beth is 30 - 5 = 25

A machine can make a box in 1 3/10 seconds. How many boxes can the machine make in 1 hour
Kazeer [188]

6. All angles in the figure below are right angles. What is the area of the figure? (4 point)
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Area the figure = 45 - 9 = 36 units² ⇒ last answer

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>"I have added screenshot of the complete question as well as the diagram"</em>

All the angles of the figure are right angles

<u>From the attached figure:</u> <em>we can find the area of the figure by subtracting the area of the cutting part from the area of the rectangle of dimensions 9 units and 5 units</em>

∵ All the angles of the figure are right angles

∴ We can consider that the figure of dimensions 9 units and 5 units

  as a rectangle

∵ Area of any rectangle A = L × H , where L, H are the dimensions

  of the rectangle

∵ L = 9 units and H = 5 units

∴ Area of the rectangle = 9 × 5 = 45 units²

- The dimensions of the cutting part are 3 units and

  [9 - (2 + 4) = 9 - 6 = 3 units]

∴ The cutting part is a square

∵ Area any square = S², where S is the length of the side of the square

∵ S = 3 units

∴ The area of the cutting part = 3² = 9 units²

∵ Area of the figure = area rectangle - area square

∵ Area the rectangle = 45 units²

∴ Area the square = 9 unit²

∴ Area the figure = 45 - 9 = 36 units²

I need help!<br><br>solve for x​
Volgvan

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a fun fact, all of those angles actually add up to 360 degrees!

How do we know this? Well if you were to draw a small arc between each of the lines, you would see that the arc would end up making a circle. And remember, circles have 360 degrees!

Now we can do some basic algebra. Add up all the angles and set that equal to 360.

(2x) + (x) + (3x + 20) + (2x+20) = 360.

8x + 40 = 360

8x = 320

x = 40

Hope this helped!
