Ben is 8 years old right now.

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

First write the equation:

x + 16 = 3x

Then subtract x from both sides:

x - x + 16 = 3x - x

16 = 2x

Now all you have to do is divide both sides by two!

16/2 = 2x/2

8 = x

A freight train leaves a station and travels north at 60 mph. 4 hours ​later, a passenger train leaves on a parallel track and t
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

first do:

60mph * 4 hours= 240mi

Let D = the distance the passenger train has to  

travel to catch the freight train

Start a stopwatch when the passenger train leaves

Let t = the time on the stopwatch when they meet

Equation for freight train:

d-240=60t

Equation for passenger train:

d=100t

all together:

100t-240=60t

we can do 100t-60t because they both have (t)= 40t

40t=240 *now divide 240 by 40= 6

THEN do:

D= 100mph x 6= 600mi

They will meet 600 mi from the station

to check:

d-240=60t x 6

600-240= 360

60 x 6= 360

360=360

The area of the right triangle shown is 24 square feet.
Liula [17]

Answer:

A, 0.5(x)(x+2)=24, D, x²+2x-48=0, and E, x²+(x+2)²=100

Step-by-step explanation:

A and D are correct because they simply involve the Area of a Triangle formula. A has the formula in the same format, but D has the 0.5 divided from by both sides.

E, on the other hand, uses the Pythagorean theorem to solve for both legs.
