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

Need help with working perimeter and area please
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Area = 228 m²

Perimeter = 60 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure given shows a rectangle that has a cut triangular portion.

✔️Area of the figure = area of rectangle - area of the triangular cut portion

= L*W + ½*bh

Where,

L = 20 m

W = 12 m

b = 20 - (8 + 8) = 4 m

h = 6 m

Plug in the values

Area = 20*12 - ½*4*6

Area = 240 - 12

Area = 228 m²

✔️Perimeter = perimeter of rectangle - base of the triangular cut portion

= 2(L + W) - b

L = 20 m

W = 12 m

b = b = 20 - (8 + 8) = 4 m

Plug in the values

Perimeter = 2(20 + 12) - 4

= 2(32) - 4

= 64 - 4

Perimeter = 60 m

Transform the equation 3x + y = 5 into slope-intercept form.
marin [14]

Answer: y=-3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. So to make your equation into slope-intercept form, simply subtract 3x from both sides, which results in y=-3x+5
