Answer:

18 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Nick age is x years and Harry's age is y years.

Hence, we have the equation

x = 7y  ......(1)

After six years, Nick's age is (x+6) and Harry's age is (y+6)

Hence, we have

x+6=5(y+6)\\x+6=5y+30

Plugging x = 7y, we get

7y+6=5y+30\\2y=24\\y=12

Hence, from equation (1)

x = 7(12)

x =84

In 6 years, Harry will be of 12 + 6 =18 years.

X = Harry's Age

Nick's age is 7x 

In 6 years Harry is 7x+6, and Nick is 5(x+6)

7x+6=5x+30

2x+6=30

2x = 24

x = 12

Harry = 12 years old and in 6 years Harry will be 18.

An equilateral shape is a shape that has all congruent sides.

<em>Sandy has a greater probability of selecting an equilateral shape</em>

Given

Sandy: <em>Equilateral triangle, Rhombus, and Regular hexagon</em>

Robert: <em>Scalene triangle, Kite, Isosceles trapezoid, Non-special quadrilateral, and Obtuse isosceles triangle</em>

All three shapes in Sandy's shape bucket are equilateral.

So, the probability that Sandy picks an equilateral shape is 1

All five shapes in Robert's shape bucket are non-equilateral.

So, the probability that Robert picks an equilateral shape is 0

By comparing the probabilities:

<em>1 is greater than 0</em>

Hence, Sandy is more likely to pick an equilateral shape than Robert.
