How old am i if 200 reduced by 2 times my age equals 16?

Ok, so since it doesn't give a value for "my age", we'll call it x.  So the sentence translates into an equation...

200 reduced means... 200 -
by 2 times my age means... 2x
equals 16 means... = 16

200 - 2x = 16

Now let's solve for x to find "my age"

First subtract 200 from each side to begin to isolate x

-2x = -184

Divide each side by -2 to isolate x

x = -184/-2
x = 92

I'm 92 years old!

Solve for the values of x and y in the diagram
qaws [65]

Answer: y = 0.5, x = 50

Step-by-step explanation: Both triangles in the picture are isosceles, telling us that the 2 angles at the bottom are congruent. With this, we can find y by doing the following:

a triangle has 180 degrees so we subtract the given 50 which gives us 130

2(2y + 64) = 130

4y + 128 = 130

y = .5

This means that the bottom 2 angles are both 65. Since the top angle of the second triangle is supplementary to the bottom angle of the first one, the top angle of the second triangle is 115. So, we find x by:

2(45 - x/4) = 65

x = 50

This means the bottom 2 angles of the second triangle are both 32.5.
