So find the difference between 1995 and 2022 to make it easier
2022-1995=27

so the rephrased question is
when hazel was x years old, she was 25 years older than son gary who was y old at that time (equation is x is 25 more than y or x=25+y)
in 27 years, (this means x+27 and y+27) hazel's age will be 150% of gary's age (x+27= 150% of y+27)
percent means parts out of 100  so 150%=150/100=15/10=1.5
'of' in math means multiply so
the equations are
x=25+y
x+27=1.5(y+27)
subsitute 25+y for x in second euation
25+y+27=1.5(y+27)
add like terms
y+52=1.5(y+27)
I personally dislike decimals to multiply both sides by 2 to make 2 0.5's or 1 (you are technically supposed to distribute or divide both sides by 1.5) so
2y+104=3(y+27)
distribute
2y+104=3y+81
subtract 2y from both sides
104=y+81
subtract 81 from both sides
23=y
subsitute
x=25+y
x=25+23
x=48


Hazel was 48 and Gary was 23 in the year of 1995

This trapezium is drawn on a centimetre grid.<br> Find the area of the trapezium.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

20 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

A trapezium is given to us on the grid and we need to find out the area of the trapezium . In order to find the area , we need to find the measure of the parallel sides and the distance between the parallel sides.

<u>From </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>grid</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\rm\implies Side_1 = 7 \ units

\rm\implies Side_2 = 3 \ units

\rm\implies \perp \ Distance =4  \ units

Now here we got the two parallel sides of the trapezium and the distance between the two parallel sides. Now we can find the area as ,

\rm\implies Area_{Trapezium}= \dfrac{1}{2}\times ( s_1 + s_2) \times   \perp \ Distance \\\\\rm\implies Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times ( 7 + 3 ) \times 4 \ unit^2 \\\\\rm\implies Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times ( 10) \times 4 \ unit^2 \\\\\rm\implies\boxed{\rm  Area = 20 \ unit^2}
