Answer: Angie = 6, Jemma = 18

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the current age of Angie

              Current Age           Age 5 years from now

Angie:            x                              x + 5

Jemma:        3x                            3x + 5

5 years from now the sum of their ages is 34

                  (x + 5) + (3x + 5) = 34

                               4x + 10 = 34

                               4x        = 24

                                 x         = 6

Angle's current age is x = 6

Jemma's current age is 3x = 3(6) = 18

Answer: Angie is 6 years and Jemma is 18 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jemma'a age be J and Angie's be A.

Then:

J = 3A .................................. Equation 1

Five years from now , Jemma will be J+5 years and Angie will be A+5 years.

That is :

J+5+A+5 = 34

Re arranging we have:

J +A+10 = 34

subtract 10 from both sides

J+A = 24............................ Equation 2

recall that  J=3A

Substitute  J = 3A  into equation 2 , then we have:

3A + A = 24

4A = 24

divide through by 4

A = 6

substitute A = 6 into equation 1 , we have

J = 3(6)

J = 18

Therefore :

Angie is 6 years and Jemma is 18 years

which set of number could represent the length of the sides of a right triangle? A 9 11 14 B 15 18 21 C 7 24 25 D 8 9 10
EastWind [94]
Common Pythagorean triples include
  (3, 4, 5)
  (5, 12, 13)
  (7, 24, 25)
  (9, 40, 41)
The only Pythagorean triple that is an arithmetic sequence is (3, 4, 5), so any arithmetic sequence that is a Pythagorean triple must be a multiple of that, such as (9, 12, 15) or (15, 20, 25).

The arithmetic sequences of selections B and D are unrelated to the (3, 4, 5) triple, so cannot be Pythagorean triples. For selection A, we know that 9² + 11² = 81 + 121 = 202 > 14², so that is not a right triangle.

The appropriate selection is ...

I don’t know how to do this ! Help?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The information we need is that the angle between the sides (that is, angle TVU for triangle TVU and angle WVX for triangle WVX) need to be equal.

These angles are vertically opposite angles, because they are formed by two lines crossing, so these angles are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The SAS Congruence Theorem says that if two triangles have 2 equal sides and the angle between these sides are also equal, the triangles are congruent.

In this question, we know that the sides UV and VW are congruent, as V is the midpoint of UW. We also know that TV = VX, so now we have two equal sides for each triangle.

The information we need is that the angle between the sides (that is, angle TVU for triangle TVU and angle WVX for triangle WVX) need to be equal.

These angles are vertically opposite angles, because they are formed by two lines crossing, so these angles are equal.

Now we can conclude that the triangles are congruent.

During a basketball game, chiyann made 15 baskets. She made three more baskets then twice number of baskets made by whitney. How
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Whitney made 6 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of baskets made by Whitney be x.

The 15 baskets made by

Chiyann is equal to 2 times plus 3 what Whitney made

Mathematically what she made would be 2x + 3

To get x, we equate this equation to 15

2x + 3 = 15

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6 baskets
