W=winston's age
x=xavier's age


winston is 8  years older than xavier
w=8+x

in 2 years, winston will be twice as old as xavier
w+2=2(x+2)

we have
w=8+x and
w+2=2(x+2)
subsitute 8+x for w

w+2=2(w+2)
8+x+2=2(x+2)
x+10=2(x+2)
x+10=2x+4
minus x both sides
10=x+4
minus 4 both sides
6=x

sub back
w=8+x
w=8+6
w=14

winston is 14 years old now
xavier is 6 years old now

Move triangle ABC so it lies on top of triangle DEF, triangle GHI, and triangle JKL. How many units do you have to move triangle
dusya [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the diagram of coordinates of the three triangles are not given.

A general explanation is as follows:

First, record the coordinates of the corresponding points of the three triangles.

For instance; In triangles ABC, DEF and GHI; A, D and G are corresponding points.

Now, assume the coordinates are:

A = (1,1)

D = (1,5)

G= (-2,1)

Point D is 4 points to the right of A;

i.e.

D =(1,1+4) = (1,5)

Hence, ABC will be moved 4 units right to lie on DEF

Similarly, point G is 3 units down of A

i.e.

G =(1-3,1) = (-2,1)

Hence, ABC will be moved 3 units down to lie on GHI.

Best explained and correct answer gets brainliest.
Zolol [24]
Your answer would be A because $4800 is your starting number and it increases 2% every year. How much is it in 20 years?

You use the formula ab^x
a is your starting number
b is the percentage
x is always the length of time

Since you are increasing and trying to get its worth larger than what it was before you use a number larger than one hundred percent in this case the number would be 1.02.


Y=4800(1.02)^20
Y=$7132.55
