A man is twice as old as his son. Twelve years ago, the man
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Son's age = 24 years

Man's age = 48 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the age of son as x

Man's age = 2x

Twelve years ago,

Son's age= x-12

Man's age= 2x-12

Man is three times as old as his son so,

\frac{2x - 12}{x - 12 } =  \frac{3}{1}

Solving for x,

2x-12(1) = x-12(3)

2x-12 = 3x-36

2x-3x = -36+12

-x = - 24

x = 24

So if we substitute the values we get,

Son's age = 24 years

Man's age = 48 years

Hope you understand :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding? How many people with a library card should he expect in the population?

Important? Population = 700. Sample 1= 53%. Sample 2 = 51%. Sample 3 = 43%.

How? Average the 3 samples percentages together. The percent sign tells us what the sample size is (% = out of 100). Set up the proportions for library card to sample size and then library card to population. Cross multiply.

Find the measure of the exterior angle. ILL GIVE BRAINILEST
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

108°

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the measure of the exterior angle, we first need to solve for a. We know that the sum of a triangles' angles is always 180°.

Now we set up an equation:

180 = 44 + (a + 10) + (180 - 2a)

180 = 44 + a + 10 + 180 - 2a

180 = -a + 234

-54 = -a

54 = a

Because we know that a = 54, we can now solve for the exterior angle:

2(54) = 108

Therefore, the measure of the exterior angle is 108°.
