Let x be the age of ishaan so the age of ben will be 12+x. the equation will become x=x+12
Going 3 years back, the age of ishaan was x-3 so that of ben would be x+12-3 before 3 years. at that time the age of ben was 4 times the age of ishaan. it means x+12-3(the age of ben)=4(x-3(the age of ishaan))
solving this equation, we get the answer x=7. this is the age of ishaan in the present.

Х years  -  Ishaan
(x + 12) years  -  Ben

3 years ago :
(х - 3) years  -  Ishaan
((x + 12) - 3) years  -  Ben
-------------------------------------------------
 (x + 12) - 3 = (x - 3) * 4
 x + 9 = 4x - 12
 x - 4x = - 12 - 9
 - 3x = - 21
 x = 21 : 3
 х = 7 years - is Ishaan now.

Quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a circle. Find the measure of each of the angles of the quadrilateral.
Nadusha1986 [10]

Here is a reference to the Inscribed Quadrilateral Conjecture it says that opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplemental.

Explanation:

The conjecture, #angleA and angleC# allows us to write the following equation:

#angleA + angleC=180^@#

Substitute the equivalent expressions in terms of x:

#x+2+ x-2 = 180^@#

#2x = 180^@#

#x = 90^@#

From this we can compute the measures of all of the angles.

#angleA=92^@#

#angleB=100^@#

#angleC=88^@#

<span>#angleD= 80^@#</span>

A six sided die is rolled three times. Find the probability that the result is an even number for every roll.
bogdanovich [222]

|\Omega|=6^3\\|A|=3^3\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{3^3}{6^3}=\left(\dfrac{3}{6}\right)^3=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^3=\dfrac{1}{8}=12.5\%
