We can make two simple equations to express their ages to each other, then solve for one of the variables. Let n be Nojo's age and j be Jacob's age.
n(j) = 84
n - 5 = j
Use substitution to get only one variable in an equation.
n (n - 5) = 84
n^2 - 5n = 84
Since we have n to the power of 2, this equation has two possible answers, but since we are given four possible answer, just substitute them in the equation until one makes the left side equal 84.
<span>n^2 - 5n = 84
</span>12^2 - 5 (12) = 84
144 - 60 = 84
84 = 84
The answer is C = 12
Here I edited it because it was easier that way.
Answer:
Triangle P and Triangle Q are mathematically similar shapes (?).
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, so the question asks which statement is true, given the following information, but you haven't written what statements we can choose from.
After reading the information, we can see that Triangle Q is the same shape as Triangle P but just larger.
I'm assuming that one of the statements given is about Triangle P and Triangle Q being mathematically similar shapes?
If you need to show your working out, here it is:
18 ÷ 6 = 3
24 ÷ 8 = 3
30 ÷ 10 = 3
All the angles are the same.
This means that the length scale factor is +3 from Triangle P to Triangle Q, the area scale factor is +9 (because 3 x 3 = 9) from Triangle P to Triangle Q, and that the two shapes are mathematically similar.
*DISCLAIMER* The majority of question askers on Brainly seem to be from the US, and I'm not, so the way I work things out / the mathematical terms I use might be different. Sorry!
Hope this helped anyway!
