Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

If J is Joan's current age and E is Ellen's current age, then:

J = E + 5

(J - 3) + (E - 3) = 17

Solve the first equation for E:

E = J - 5

Substitute into the second:

(J - 3) + (J - 5 - 3) = 17

J - 3 + J - 8 = 17

2J - 11 = 17

2J = 28

J = 14

Joan is 14, so in 7 years, she will be 21.

Triangles G H L and K H J are connected at point H. Angles Angles L G H and H K J are congruent. Sides G H and H K are congruent
stira [4]

The congruence theorem that can be used is: B. ASA

<h3>What is the ASA Congruence Theorem?</h3>

If we have two triangles that have two pairs of corresponding congruent angles (e.g. ∠LGH ≅ ∠HKJ and ∠LHG ≅ ∠KHJ), and a pair of corresponding congruent sides (e.g. GH ≅ HK), the triangles are said to be congruent triangles by the ASA congruence theorem.

Therefore, triangles GHL and KHL in the image given are congruent triangles by the  ASA congruence theorem.
