The y-intercept, in this case, represents when x is at 0, or when she just began observing.
Answer:
x = 100°
Step-by-step explanation:
Actually the drawing is very inaccurate, so it is a regular pentagon, otherwise x would be 60° and none of the answers would fit.
The formula for finding the sum of all angles in a polygon is:
(n-2) * 180°
n is the number of sides
Here n = 5, so the sum of all angles is (5-2) * 180° = 540°
x + 2x + 86 + 92 + 62 = 540
3x = 300
x = 100
Let Joy be x years old
<span>Joy's brother's age is 3 years older than twice joy's age.
</span>Joy's Brother = 2x + 3
<span>The sum of Joy's age and her brother's age is 24.
x + 2x + 3 = 24
3x + 3 = 24
3x = 24 - 3
3x = 21
x = 21 </span>÷ 3
x = 7
Joy:
x = 7
Brother:
2x + 3 = 2(7) + 3 = 17
Difference in their age = 17 - 7 = 10 years
They are 10 years apart.
