Answer:

It can be any two numbers that sum up to 36.

eg:18+18,30+6,15+21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let Benjamin's age be x and David's age y.

x+y=36

2x+2y=72

Solution:

As twice of 36=72, any two numbers that add up to 36 ,will give a sum of 72 after multiplying them with 2.Therefore ,Benjamin's and David's age can be any set of numbers that sum up to 36.

Answer:Benjamin’s age = 30 and David’s age = 6

Explanation:

Let x be the age of Benjamin
Let y be the age of David

x + y = 36

And 2x + 2y = 72

If we plug 30 for x and 6 for y we get:

30 + 6 = 36
36 = 36

2(30) + 2(6) = 72
60 + 12 = 72
72 = 72

Jack must score 28 problems correct. To get a 92% he must answer 92% of the 30 questions right. which means 0.92*30=27.6, but it is not possible to score 0.6 of a problem right so you would round to 28, which guarantees Jack scores a 92 because if we round down, Jack would score less than a 92

Answer:

13.4

Step-by-step explanation:

AB =2DC

So, DC=AB/2

Now, AB/AC=DE/DC

AB/28=13/(AB/2)

AB²=13×28×2

AB=√728

AB=26.98

now, DC=AB/2

=13.4
