The second answer is D) it will increase 8 times
B/C = K/L because they are similar
Get x to one side by subtracting 2x by 5x.
-3x = -30
Then divide both sides by -3 to get x = 10
Have a nice day.
Answer:
I understand there is a typo, so Belly and Billy are the same person. His age is represented as B, and Suzy's as S.
S = 19
B = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Suzy is ten years older than Belly:
(1) S = B + 10
the next year she will be twice as old as Billy
(2) S + 1 = 2 (B + 1)
solving the system of equation (1) and (2):
Making (2) - (1):
1 = 2 (B + 1) - B - 10 => 1 = 2 B + 2 - B - 10 => 1 = B - 8 => B = 9
replacing in (1) S = 19
