PLEASEEEEEEE HELPPPPP
1 answer:
If their perimeters are equal, we can add up all the side lengths of each triangle, and set the perimeters equal to each other to find the value of x that satisfies the equation:
x - 2 + x + 3x + 1 = 2x - 5 + x + 4 + 6x - 7
Combine like terms:
5x - 1 = 9x - 8
And finally, solve for x:
7 = 4x
x =
Therefore, x is equal to .

Let William be x years old.
Thomas = (4 + x) years
In five years,
William = (x + 5) years
Thomas = 4 + x + 5 = (9 + x) years
Given, in five years sum of their ages is 24.
x + 5 + 9 + x = 24
2x + 14 = 24
2x = 24 - 14
2x = 10
x =
x = 5
Hence, William is 5 years old and Thomas is 9 years old.
