You can solve this by using the system of equations.
Jan - 4.95 = 2H + 3C
Wayne - 5.45 = 3H + 2C

Use elimination.
-3(2H + 3C = 4.95)
2(3H + 2C = 5.45)

Solve. And you'll get:
-6H + (-9C) = -14.85
6H + 4C = 10.9

Cross out -6H and 6H because they cancel out. And you're left with:
-9C = -14.85
4C = 10.9

Add -9C with 4C, and -14.85 with 10.9.
-5C = -3.95

Divide each side with -5.
C = $0.79

Now to figure out what H is, just substitute the C in one of the equations with 0.79.
5.45 = 3H + 2(0.79)
5.45 = 3H + 1.58
-1.58            -1.58
3.87 = 3H
3.87/3 = 3/3(H)
1.29 = H

Answer:

Claim 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The Inscribed Angle Theorem* tells you ...

... ∠RPQ = 1/2·∠ROQ

The multiplication property of equality tells you that multiplying both sides of this equation by 2 does not change the equality relationship.

... 2·∠RPQ = ∠ROQ

The symmetric property of equality says you can rearrange this to ...

... ∠ROQ = 2·∠RPQ . . . . the measure of ∠ROQ is twice the measure of ∠RPQ

_____

* You can prove the Inscribed Angle Theorem by drawing diameter POX and considering the relationship of angles XOQ and OPQ. The same consideration should be applied to angles XOR and OPR. In each case, you find the former is twice the latter, so the sum of angles XOR and XOQ will be twice the sum of angles OPR and OPQ. That is, angle ROQ is twice angle RPQ.

You can get to the required relationship by considering the sum of angles in a triangle and the sum of linear angles. As a shortcut, you can use the fact that an external angle is the sum of opposite internal angles of a triangle. Of course, triangles OPQ and OPR are both isosceles.

If, in 7 years, Susan will be 2 times as old as she was 3 years ago, what is Susan’s present age? PLEAZE EXPLAIN HOW AND DO IT W
belka [17]
Let Susan's present age be x

Now, after 7 years ( her age will become 7 +x then) she'll be 2 as old she was 3 years ago.

Her age 3 years ago must be x-3

Now according to question,

twice Her age 3 years ago = her age after 7 years

now,

2(x-3) = 7+x
2x-6 = 7+x
2x-x =7+6
x = 13
x = 13



Therefore, her age presenr age is 13 years.
