Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed. 
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.  
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15

M is the incenter of triangle ABC. Find the lengths of MD and DC. (Look at pic)
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Part 1) MD=9\ units

Part 2) DC=12\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the length of MD

we know that

The incenter is the intersection of the angle bisectors of the three vertices of the triangle. Is the point forming the origin of a circle inscribed inside the triangle

so

In this problem

MD=ME=MF ------> is the radius of a circle inscribed inside the triangle

we have that

MF=9\ units

therefore

ME=9\ units

MD=9\ units

Step 2

Find the length of DC

we know that

In the right triangle MDC

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

MC^{2} =MD^{2}+DC^{2}

we have

MD=9\ units

MC=15\ units

substitute

15^{2} =9^{2}+DC^{2}

DC^{2}=225-81

DC=\sqrt{144}\ units

DC=12\ units
