Lets make x equal the the age of the younger man and y equal the age of the older man.
You are given x+y=76 and you can make the equation 2x+16=y since we are told that the older one is 16 more than twice the age of the younger one. Since we have 2 equations and with the same variable and one has y already written in terms of x (y=2x+16) i will use substitution and make the given equaton all in terms of x.
x+(2x+16)=76 (solve this for x)
3x+16=76
3x=60
x=20
Then you can solve for y using the equation the equaion x+y=76 since we now know x=20.
20+y=76
y=56
Second equation is y=2x+16 (can also be written as y-2x=16)
x=20
y=56
I hope this helps. If anything is unclear or you just want further explanation please let me know in the comments.
So given a rectangle
sides are
_<u>x</u>_
x-5|__|x-5
x
the perimeter is 90 inches
perimeter is
x + x + (x-5) + (x-5) = 90
combine like terms
2x + 2(x-5) = 90
distribute
2x + 2x-10 = 90
combine like terms
4x - 10 = 90
add 10 to both sides
4x= 100
divide both sides by 4
x = 25
now to find the length of a side
x is 25
and x-5 is 20
to check and see if that's right:
25 + 25 + 20 + 20 =?= 90
50 + 40 =?=
90 = 90
Now to find the area
A = b * h
so
x * (x-5)
substitute
25* 20
500
The area of the rectangle is 500
Hope this helps :)
Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation: SAS: Side, Angle, Side SSS: Side, Side, Side AA: Equilateral Triangle
Let's assume the middle number is
then the smallest number is
the greatest number is
so the sum of the three number would be
and it equals 45
now we have an equation
then we solve it
, which means the middle number equals 15
so the greatest number would be
17 is the greatest number
