<span>Melvina's age is = x, Bettina's age is = 3x
the equation is
x + 20 = 3x - 20
subtract 3x from both sides
-(3x) + x +20 = 3x - 20 - (3x)
-2x + 20 = -20
subtract 20 from both sides
-2x + 20 - (20) = -20 - (20)
-2x = - 40
divide both sides by -2
(-2x)/-2 = (-40)/-2
x = 20
Melvinas age is 20 and Bettinas age is 60</span>
A² + b² = c²
8² + x² = 16²
x² = 16² - 8²
x² = 192
x =√192
x =8√3
