Enny’s mother is 5 years older than twice Jenny's age. The sum of their ages is 62 years. This is represented by the equation x

+ 2x + 5 = 62, where x is Jenny’s age.
Plug in the values from the set {12, 15, 18, 19} to find the value of x. The value that holds true for the equation is . So, Jenny is years old and her mother is years old.

Answer:

Jenny´s age is 19 and her mother is 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Plug in the first value of the set:

x=12

x+2x+5=62

12+2*12+5=62

12+24+5=62

41=62

41 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 12 years old.

2. Plug in the second value of the set:

x=15

x+2x+5=62

15+2*15+5=62

15+30+5=62

50=62

50 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 15 years old.

3. Plug in the third value of the set:

x=18

x+2x+5=62

18+2*18+5=62

18+36+5=62

=59

59 is different from 62, so Jenny isn´t 18 years old.

4. Plug in the fourth value of the set:

x=19

x+2x+5=62

19+2*19+5=62

19+38+5=62

62=62

Therefore Jenny´s 19 years old.

5. Calculate Jenny´s mother age:

As the sum of their ages is 62 ages, we have the following equation:

x+y=62

where

x=Jenny´s age

y=Jenny´s mother age

Replacing the Jenny´s age we have:

19+y=62

Solving for y:

y=62-19

y=43

Therefore Jenny's mother age is 43 years old.

X + 2x + 5 = 62 which can be turned into.
3x + 5 = 62 
      -5      -5 now we subtract 5 from each side
3x = 57
/3     /3 now we divide 3 from each side to get...
x = 19.
Now to check 19 + (2 x 19) + 5 does in fact equal 62.  Jenny is 19 years old.  Hope this helped.

Si un cono lo obtienes haciendo girar un triángulo rectángulo cuya base es de 10cm y su altura es de 16cm ¿cuánto mide el radio
rodikova [14]

Answer:

10 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to better understand this question, I will attach an allusive image to the question.

Keep in mind that in this case the base of the triangle is equal to the radius of the base of the cone since the triangle rotates on its own axis, therefore the measurement of the base corresponds to 10 cm, therefore the radius measures 10 cm.

Given that QT is an altitude of triangle QRS, measure of angle QTS=(6x+36), and QR = 2x – 5, find QR.
Alexeev081 [22]
We know that
if <span>QT is an altitude of triangle QRS
then
</span><span>the measure of angle QTS is equal to 90</span>°
so
6x+36=90-----> 6x=90-36----> x=54/6
x=9
QR=2x-5-----> QR=2*9-5-----> QR=18-5-----> QR=13

the answer is
QR=13
