Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years.
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years

Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
the triangle is an isosceles triangle hence the base angles are equal
sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, therefore, the top angle =180-(62+62)
the top angle =56°
h°= the top angle because alternate angles are equal
hence, h=56°
