Here, we have to analyse the words and ages
The first statement is "Tom is younger than Andy" means Andy is older than Tom. So first comes Andy and then Tom. Let's Rank Andy =1 and Tom = 2 with 1 assigned to the older.
Now, the next statement is "John is not older than Tom" This means John is younger than Tom. This also means Tom is older than John. So John would become the youngest and hence we assign John = 3 (meaning the youngest)
Ordering from Youngest to oldest would be John (Rank 3), Tom (Rank 2) and Andy (Rank 1)
To conclude the order from youngest to oldest would be John,Tom,Andy

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
By drawing horizontal and vertical lines, create three right triangles: one with line segment AB as the hypotenuse, one with line segment CD as the hypotenuse, and one with line segment EF as the hypotenuse.
The triangle created with points A and B has one leg that measures 3 units and one that measures 7 units.
The triangle created with points C and D has one leg that measures 6 units and one that measures 12 units.
The triangle created with points E and F has one leg that measures 9 units and one that measures 2 units.
Therefore, the distance between points C and D is the greatest. The distance is 13.42 units.
Answer:
250-5m=200+4m ; 5.56 months
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let's start this question by writing two expressions that depict the situation.</u>
Vance: 250-5m
This simply means that Vance currently weighs 250 pounds, and every month he is losing 5 pounds. (m=number of months)
Phillip: 200+4m
This is essentially the same thing. Phillips starting weight is 200, but here we use an addition sign because he is gaining 4 pounds every month as opposed to losing it.
To find the number of months it'll take for them to weigh the same, we just need to equate the values and solve for m.
<u>Our equation would then be:</u>
250-5m=200+4m
Let's solve the equation by bringing the variables to one side and the numbers to the other.
250-5m=200+4m
Subtract 4m from both sides
250-5m-4m=200+4m-4m
250-9m=200
Subtract 250 from both sides
250-250-9m=200-250
-9m=-50
Divide both sides by -9
m=5.556
So it will take about 5 months and a half to weigh the same.
