Frank = F
Sue = S
John = J
F=3*S
F = J+15
S = J-1
If you want to find Frank's age, then his age would be equivalent to John's plus 15 years.
A.-Would not work because Frank is three times Sue's age, not John's (left hand side of the equation).
B.-Notice that the right hand side of the equation is equivalent to Sue's age, which we know is John-1, however it is currently written to be "three times Sue's age minus one" which would give us John's age, plus two more years than his actual age on the left hand side.
C.-Frank's age is equal to John's plus fifteen (right side of the equation) and Frank is equal to Sue's age times 3. But, if Sue is in terms of Johns, then Sue's age is John's minus one. Therefore, Frank's age is equal to three times Sue's age of John minus one, which is the left-hand side of our equation.
Therefore C is the answer. C:
3. 180 - (53+68) = 59
The answer is B. 59°
4.
Part A: The measure of a is 70°.
Explanation: The angle sum in any triangle is 180°. 70 + 40 is 110. To find the final angle, subtract 110 from 180. 180 - 110 = 70
Part B: The length of x is 5m.
Explanation. The triangle is an isosceles triangle. We know this because the two angles on the base are equal. Since this is an isosceles triangle, the two longer sides are the same length. Therefore: x = 5 m.
The answer to your question is option b because opposite angles in a quadrilateral are equal to one another
1 and negative 24 is the answer
