Answer:
7 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Let Richard's age = x
Elder sister's age = 2x
Youngwr sister's age = x - 2
Product of sisters ages = 70
2x * (x - 2) = 70
2x² - 4x = 70
2x² - 4x - 70 = 0
x² - 2x - 35 = 0
x² - 7x + 5x - 35 = 0
x(x - 7) +5(x - 7) = 0
(x - 7) or (x + 5) = 0
x = 7 or x = - 5
X can't be negative
Hence, x = 7
Richard is 7 years

Answer:
about 2 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
first lets make everything in the same term

or 85/16 divided by 5/2
you get 2 1/8
so you have about 2 minutes before the timer runs out
Answer:
- D. No, they are not similar.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Check the ratio of the two given sides:</u>

- LV/VU = 8/28 = 2/7
Ratios are different so the triangles are not similar
Correct choice is D
