question 1 is congruent. 2 is not congruent and 3 is congruent
We need the exponents law

So if
a=3
b=1/2
then

where x represent every half a year.
Simon is 13 years old
Let x be Simon's age
Thus 4 years ago his age was (x - 4) and 2 years from now his age is (x + 2)
Hence 5(x - 4) = 3(x + 2)
distributing both sides gives
5x-20 = 3x + 6
subtract 3x from both sides of the equation
5x - 3x - 20 = 6
2x - 20 = 6
add 20 to both sides
2x = 6 + 20 = 26
divide both sides by 2
x =
= 13
Simon is 13 years old
88(3.7+4.3)-2*2.6
88(8)-2*2.6
704-2*2.6
704-5.2
698.8

Answer:
12;16
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem states that
a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are legs of a triangle, and c is the hypotenuse.
This means that we have to find 2 values that once squared, add up to 400. (20^2)
Based on this, we can use the values of 12 and 16 to satisfy this.
12^2+16^2=144*256=400
Therefore, the legs of the triangle are 12 and 16.
