Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
NQP is a triangle. It has 3 angles given.
We know
<em>sum of 3 angles in a triangle is 180 degrees</em>
<em />
We are Given:
∠N = 2x
∠Q = 2x + 2
∠P = 134
THus, we can write and solve for x first:
∠N + ∠Q + ∠P = 180
2x + 2x + 2 + 134 = 180
4x + 136 = 180
4x = 180 - 136
4x = 44
x = 44/4
x = 11
Now, measure of ∠NQP is 2x + 2, so substituting the value of "x", we have:
2x + 2 = 2(11) + 2 = 22 + 2 = 24 degrees
So,
∠NQP = 24°
Correct answer is C
You basically multiply across. 1/4 times 7/8 is 7/32 because numerator, 1 times 7 and denominator, 4 times 8. Hope it helps.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of of Mrs brook be x
Age of her son be y
If Mrs.Brooks lacks 7 years from being five times as old as her son, this means;
x = 5y - 7 ..... 1
six years from now;
Mrs brooks age = x + 6
sons age = y + 6
If Six years from now she will lack 3 years from being three times as old as her son, this means;
x+ 6 = 3(y+6) - 3
x+6 = 3y + 18 - 3
x+6 = 3y + 15 .... 2
substitute 1 into 2;
(5y - 7)+6 = 3y + 15
5y - 1 = 3y + 15
5y-3y = 15 + 1
2y = 16
y = 8
substitute y = 8 into equation 1;
x = 5y - 7
x = 5(8)-7
x = 40-7
x = 33
Hence the mrs brook is 33 years old
her son is 8 years old
