Answer:

Simon's Age = 47

Marcie's Age = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is to find Simon's age and Marcie's age.</em>

<em />

Let Simon's age be x and Marcie's age be y

<u>Simon is 3 years more than 4 times marcie, so we can write:</u>

x = 4y + 3

Also,

<u>Sum of their ages is 58, so we can write:</u>

x + y = 58

or x = 58 - y

Now, we substitute this into 1st equation and solve for y first:

x = 4y + 3\\58-y = 4y + 3\\58-3=4y+y\\55=5y\\y=\frac{55}{5}\\y=11

We know

x = 58 - y

so,

x = 58 - 11

x = 47

So,

Simon's Age = 47

Marcie's Age = 11

How many degrees is angle “X”?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

The answr is 102 degrees. Here's why

Step-by-step explanation:

The square means the angle is 90 degrees. Therefore, for the big triangle, we already know 2 of the degrees, 50 and 90. A triangle's degrees add up to 180. 50+90=140. 180-140=40. This means the top angle is 40. Now finding X is easy, because we already know the other 2 points in the triangle, which are 38 and 40. Add those up, you get 78. 180-78=102, your answer. The triangle is 102 degrees.

What do you say when you get off a boat
Vanyuwa [196]

Usually people love to travel via boat including me :). At some point you need to get off from boat.

Question is asking about what should we say when we get off from boat. There can be lots of answers for this question because there is no fixed rule to leave the boat.

You may say good bye or wish the people who are still on the boat.

In fact you are free to say anything in the world. :)
