The right answer is Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Age of Nora = x

Age of Damon = y

According to given statement;

x = 3y Eqn 1

In 8 years;

x+8 = 2(y+8) Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

$3y+8=2(y+8)\\3y+8=2y+16\\3y-2y=16-8\\y=8$

Damon is now 8 years old.

In 8 years, he will be = 8+8 = 16 years old

Damon will be 16 years old in 8 years.

The right answer is Option B.

natta225 [31]

<h2>Answer: 14</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If we factorize the numbers, we may be able to surmise the GCF:

28 = 2 × 2 × 7

42 = 2 × 3 × 7

56 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 7

∴ the GCF is 2 × 7 = 14

The three sides of a triangle are n, 3n+3, and 2n+11. If the perimeter of the triangle is 50 inches, what is the length of each

mylen [45]

Answer:

6, 21, and 23 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of all side lengths in that triangle. We're given the perimeter as 50 inches, and the side lengths as n, 3n + 3, and 2n + 11.

This means that we can algebraically solve the equation $n + 3n + 3 + 2n + 11 = 50$

Step 1: Combine like terms.

$(n+3n+2n) + (3+11) = 50$
$6n + 14 = 50$

Step 2: Subtract 14 from both sides.

$6n + 14 - 14 = 50 - 14$
$6n = 36$

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.

$6n/6 = 36/6$
$n = 6$

Step 4: Plug in the value of n as 6 in each side.

$(6) + (3(6) + 3) + (2(6)+11) = 50$
$(6) + (18+3) + (12+11) = 50$
$(6) + (21) + (23) = 50$

Therefore, the side lengths are 6, 21, and 23 inches.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
