Jeremy=x
Older sister=x+5
younger sister=x+5-9 or x-4
x+(x+5)+(x-4)=49
combine like terms
3x+5-4=49
3x+1=49
subtract 1 from both sides
3x=48
divide both sides by 3
x=16
Jeremy=16
Older sister=16+5=21
younger sister =16-4 or 16+5-9=12
J=16
OS=21
YS=12

8090 [49]

If two angles are complementary, the sum of their measures is 90 degrees. Call one of the angles x. This means that its complement is 90 - x degrees. But the difference in their measures is 12 degrees.

The dimensions of a rectangle are given in
alexandr1967 [171]

Option A and Option F

The expressions that represent the perimeter of rectangle are 4s + 1 and 2(2s + \frac{1}{2})

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

From figure,

Length = s

Width = s + \frac{1}{2}

<em><u>The perimeter of rectangle is given as:</u></em>

perimeter = 2(length + width)

Substituting the values we get,

perimeter = 2(s + s + \frac{1}{2})\\\\perimeter = 2(2s + \frac{1}{2})

Thus option F is correct

On further simplification,

perimeter = 2(2s + \frac{1}{2})\\\\perimeter = 4s + 2(\frac{1}{2})\\\\perimeter = 4s + 1

Thus Option A is correct
