Answer:

x = 7

y = 11

z = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 32

Let's say the youngest is x, middle is y and oldest is z.

y= x+4 (age of the youngest + 4)

z= 2x (twice as old)

We can replace y and z in the main equation above with these values that contain x.

x + (x + 4) + 2x = 32

4x = 28, divide both sides by 4

x = 7

y = x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11

z = 2x = 2*7 = 14

And to check: 7 + 11 + 14 = 32

Answer:

Oldest=14

Middle=11

Youngest=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Oldest is 2x youngest (7*2=14)

one you figure out the youngest (7) then *2 to get eldest(14)

32-7=25

25-14=11<--age of middle child that is 4 years older than youngest (7+4=11)

6)<span> Let F_net = 0</span>
a. The equation that describes the forces which act in the x-direction: 
    (200N)cos(30) - F_s = 0

b. The equation that describes the forces which act in the y-direction:
    F_N - (200N)sin(30) - mg = 0

c. The values of friction and normal forces will be:
     Friction force= (200N)cos(30),
     
The Normal force is not 490N in either case...
Case 1 (pulling up)
F_N = mg - (200N)sin(30) = 50g - 100N = 390N

Case 2 (pushing down)
F_N = mg + (200N)sin(30) = 50g + 100N = 590N
