Answer: Reese is 10 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "m" the age of Martin and "r" tthe age of Reese and "l" the age of Lee.

Based on the information provided in the exercise, you can set up the following equations:

$m=r+2$ [Equation 1]

$m=l$ [Equation 2]

$l=12$ [Equation 3]

Therefore, since:

$m=l$

You know that:

$m=12$

Now you must substitute the value of "m" into [Equation 1]:

$12=r+2$

Finally, you must solve for "r" in order to find its value. This is:

$12-2=r\\\\r=10$

If the m∠SRW = 85°, what are the measures of ∠VRU and ∠URW?<br><br> m∠VRU = °<br><br> m∠URW = °

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

∠TRV = ∠SRW ( vertical angles ), hence

2x + 15 = 85 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

2x = 70 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 35

Hence

∠VRU = 2x + 10 = ( 2 × 35) + 10 = 70 + 10 = 80°

and

∠URW + ∠VRU + ∠SRW = 180 ( sum of angles in a straight line ), thus

∠URW + 80 + 85 = 180

∠URW + 165 = 180 ( subtract 165 from both sides )

∠URW = 15°

write the logarithm as a sum or difference of logarithms. simplify each term as much as possible. log4(6ab)

Dominik [7]

The logarithm written as a sum of logarithm and simplified as much as possible is $\frac{1}{2} +log_{4 }3 + log_{4 }a + log_{4 }b$

<h3>Simplifying Logarithms</h3>

From the question, we are to write the given logarithm expression as a sum or difference of logarithms

The given logarithm is

$log_{4 }6ab$

This can be written as

$log_{4 }6 \times a \times b$

From one of the rules of logarithm, we have that

$log_{x }yz= log_{x }y + log_{x }z$

Thus,

$log_{4 }6 \times a \times b$ becomes

$log_{4 }6 + log_{4 }a + log_{4 }b$

This can be further simplified into

$log_{4 }3 \times 2 + log_{4 }a + log_{4 }b$

$log_{4 }3 + log_{4 }2 + log_{4 }a + log_{4 }b$

If desired, this can be further simplified into

$log_{4 }3 + log_{2^{2} }2 + log_{4 }a + log_{4 }b$

$log_{4 }3 + \frac{1}{2} log_{2}2 + log_{4 }a + log_{4 }b$

$log_{4 }3 + \frac{1}{2} (1)+ log_{4 }a + log_{4 }b$

$\frac{1}{2} +log_{4 }3 + log_{4 }a + log_{4 }b$

Hence, the logarithm written as a sum of logarithm and simplified as much as possible is $\frac{1}{2} +log_{4 }3 + log_{4 }a + log_{4 }b$
