First, let us define our variables.

Let

x = age of the father

y = age of the son

z = age of the daughter

 

5 years ago..

(x – 5) = age of the father

(y – 5) = age of the son

(z – 5) = age of the daughter

 

After 18 years...

(x + 18) = age of the father

(y + 18) = age of the son

(z +18) = age of the daughter

 

From the first condition

y = z + 5 à eqn 1

5 years ago

(x-5) = 23 + (y-5) + (z-5)

x –y –z = 18 à eqn 2

after 18 years

(x+18) = 17*[(y +18 –z – 18)]

x – 17y + 17z = -18 à eqn 3

 

solving the 3 equations simultaneously

x = 67

y = 27

z = 22

Which of the following options is a Pythagorean Identity
alexdok [17]

None of them really, but C is equivalent to the Triognometric Pythagorean Theorem:


(\sin x + \cos x)^2 = 1 + 2 \sin x \cos x


\sin^2 x + 2 \sin x \cos x + \cos ^2 x = 1 + 2 \sin x \cos x


\sin^2x + \cos ^2x = 1


That's the Trigonometric Pythagorean Theorem


Answer: C

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line
Vinvika [58]

The slope is basically the coefficient of x and that is 1 since 1x=x. To find the y-intercept, you need to subtitute x=0 into y=x+5 because x is at 0 when you are looking at the y-intercept.

y=0+5=5

So the slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 5.

What does the diagonal of a rhombus mean​
const2013 [10]
Diagonals of a rhombus
In any rhombus, the diagonals (lines linking opposite corners) bisect each other at right angles (90°). That is, each diagonal cuts the other into two equal parts, and the angle where they cross is always 90 degrees.

The value of x is..............???​
Yuri [45]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to do this. The simplest way is to realize that the exterior angle (45x) = the sum of the two remote interior angles.

25x and 57 + x

45x = 25x + 57 + x                      Subtract 26x from both sides.

45x - 26x = 25x - 25x + 57   Combine

19x = 57                                Divide by 20

19x/19 = 57/19                     Do the division

x = 3

===================================

Second method.

The supplement of the 45x angle is 180 - 45x

Now add the three angles together.

180 - 45x + x + 57 + 25x = 180     Combine like terms.

180 + 57 - 45x + x + 25x = 180

237 - 19x = 180                              Subtract 237 from both sides.

- 19 x = 180 - 237                           Combine the right side

- 19x = -57

x = 3

Good thing you made me redo it. Sorry!! I made an error. I lost 1 of the xs.
