Let :
T = Theresa age
H = her brother
We know :
T = H - 14
T + H = 35
Substitute T
H -14 + H = 35
2H - 14 = 35
2H = 49
H = 49/2 = 24.5
Since we know H = 24.5 we then can substitute it to either equation.
T = H - 14
T = 24.5 - 14
T = 10.5
Theresa is 10.5 years old
Her brother is 24.5 years old
yes.4/5=cannot simplify.2/5 can not simplify

/ ___ \ Let's imagine a trapezoid looks like this. The two parallel lines would be the top and the bottom lines.
The 10 in. side would be either the top or bottom line. The other parallel line is twice as long, meaning it's 2 times longer. So you multiply 10 in x 2 = 20 in.
The given side length = 10 inches.
Height = half as long, meaning it's half of 10 in. = 5 in.
Formula of a trapezoid =
x height
Where a and b are bases. The top and bottom of the trapezoid are bases.
Area trapezoid =
x 5 =
x 5 = 15 x 5 = 75 in² <-- area means the unit is squared
