Answer:Robert's minimum age is 11 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent George's age.

Let y represent Edward's age.

Let z represent Robert's age.

George is twice as old as Edward. It means that

x = 2y

Edward's age exceeds Robert's age by 4 years. It means that

z = y - 4

If the sum of the three ages is at least 56 years, it means that

x + y + z ≥ 56 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 2y and z = y - 4 into equation 1, it becomes

2y + y + y - 4 ≥ 56

4y - 4 ≥ 56

4y ≥ 56 + 4

y ≥ 60/4

y ≥ 15

z = y - 4 = 15 - 4

z ≥ 11

PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS ​
klio [65]

Answer:

y = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

The left side base angle of the triangle and the angle of 110° form a straight angle and are supplementary, thus

base angle = 180° - 110° = 70°

The right base angle is also 70° , thus the triangle is isosceles

The line segment from the vertex is a perpendicular bisector, hence

y = 90°

Can someone help me please I don’t understand this problem
laiz [17]

The answer is C. 45. Here's the work to prove it: c = correct answer, i = incorrect answer;

-2(c + i = 50)

2c - 3i = 75

-2c - 2i = -100

-5i/-5 = -25/-5

i = 5

c + 5 - 5 = 50 - 5

c = 45
