Answer:
1. The right triangles pass the AA similarity congruence theorem.
2. s/q
Step-by-step explanation:
They are similar since they pass the AA( Angle-Angle) similarity theorem.
Similar triangles have corresponding proportional sides so side z corresponds with side s and side x corresponds with q so we would represent that as
s/q
Okay, so since the discount is 60% of the price and it comes out to $2.8, we are going to form the following expression, where x is the original price.
60% of x = 2.8
Simply means: 60/100 * x = 2.8
You solve for x, which comes out to $4, which is your original price.
This breaks down into a system of equations. George will equal G, Sam will equal S and Alex will equal A. G=S+2 S=A+3 G+S+A=35 since S=A+3, we can substitute S for (A+3). If we plug that into the G=S+2, we get G=(A+3)+2. This simplifies to G=A+5.
our ultimate goal is to be able to substitute for two of their ages so we can solve the last equation for one age or variable. It would be easiest to solve for A.
so far we can substitute for two variables, S=A+3. and G=A+5
Next, we can plug this into the last equation and get 35=(A+3)+(A+5)+A
if we add like terms we get 35=3A+8. Next, we solve the equation by first subtracting 8 from each side. we then get 27=3A, then we divide each side by 3 to solve for A and get A=9.
Now we have one age, we need to find the other two. We can solve this by plugging A to the other two equations. if we do that we get S=(9)+3, or S=12. If we do it to the other equation we get G=(9)+5, or G=14
So your final answer would be George is 14, Sam is 12, and Alex is 9.
