Mathematics
1 answer:
Sati [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 1/2 or .5

Step-by-step explanation:

JK = 7x + 2, KL = 5x + 4 and JL = 12

JK + KL = JL

Plug in the equations for the Lines

7x + 2 + 5x + 4 = 12

Combine like-terms

12x + 2 + 4 = 12

12x + 6 = 12

Subtract 6 from either side

12x + 6 = 12

      -6      -6

12x = 6

Divide either side by 12

12x / 12 = 6/ 12

x= 1/2 or .5

Theresa is 14 years younger than her brother. Together, their total age in years is 35.
solniwko [45]
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
