<h3>The present age of Jackson is 25 years old</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the present age of Jackson be "x"

Therefore

Jackson's age 7 years ago = x - 7

And, Jackson's age after 20 years = x + 20

From given question,

Jackson’s age was 2/5 of the age he will be 20 years from now 7 years ago

$\frac{2}{5} \times (x + 20) = x - 7\\\\2(x + 20) = 5(x - 7)\\\\2x + 40 = 5x - 35\\\\5x - 2x = 40 +35\\\\3x = 75\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\\x = 25$

Thus present age of Jackson is 25 years old

For this case the area is given by:
A = (22 + x) * (28 + x) = 722
Rewriting we have:
616 + 22x + 28x + x ^ 2 = 722
x ^ 2 + 50x + 616 - 722 = 0
x ^ 2 + 50x - 106 = 0
Solving the polynomial we have:
x1 = 2.04
x2 = -52.04
We take the positive root:
x = 2.04 inches:
Answer:
The width of the border to the nearest inch is:
x = 2inches

Find the coordinates of the intersection of the diagonals of the parallelogram with the vertices W(−2, 5), X(2, 5), Y(4, 0),

emmasim [6.3K]

Using the midpoint formula, the coordinates of the intersection of the diagonals of the parallelogram is: (1, 2.5).

<h3>What are Diagonals of a Parallelogram?</h3>

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, therefore, the coordinates of their intersection can be determined using the midpoint formula, which is: $M(\frac{x_2 + x_1}{2}, \frac{y_2 + y_1}{2})$ .
