Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Nick's age = x years

Lina's age =3*x = 3x

After 6 years,

Lina's age = 3x + 6

Nick's age = x + 6

3x + 6 = 2*(x+6)

3x + 6 = 2*x + 2*6

3x + 6 = 2x + 12      {Subtract 6 form both sides}

3x +6 - 6 = 2x + 12 - 6

3x  = 2x + 6    {subtract 2x from both sides}

3x - 2x = 2x + 6 - 2x

x = 6

Nick's age = 6 years

Lina's age =3*6 = 18 years

HEY YA'LL 30 PTS FOR 1 PROBLEM!<br> Given: m∠EYL=1/3 the measure of arc EHL<br> Find: m∠EYL.
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

Two tangents drawn to a circle from an outside point form arcs and an angle, and this formula shows the relation between the angle and the two arcs.

m<EYL = (1/2)(m(arc)EVL - m(arc)EHL)      Eq. 1

The sum of the angle measures of the two arcs is the angle measure of the entire circle, 360 deg.

m(arc)EVL + m(arc)EHL = 360

m(arc)EVL = 360 - m(arc)EHL      Eq. 2

We are given this:

m<EYL = (1/3)m(arc)EHL       Eq. 3

Substitute equations 2 and 3 into equation 1.

(1/3)m(arc)EHL = (1/2)[(360 - m(arc)EHL) - m(arc)EHL]

Now we have a single unknown, m(arc)EHL, so we solve for it.

2m(arc)EHL = 3[360 - m(arc)EHL - m(arc)EHL]

2m(arc)EHL = 1080 - 6m(arc)EHL

8m(arc)EHL = 1080

m(arc)EHL = 135

Substitute the arc measure just found in Equation 3.

m<EYL = (1/3)m(arc)EHL

m<EYL = (1/3)(135)

m<EYL = 45
