The oldest friend is 17 years old. 15+16+17. 5+6=11+7=18. 18+10+10+10= 48. get my level B) jk

"The sum of their ages is 48" means x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 48

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 48 

x + x + x + 1 + 2 = 48 

3x + 3 = 48 

3x = 48 - 3 

3x = 45 

x = 45/3 = 15 

So if the youngest is 15 (x = 15), then the oldest is x + 2 or 15 + 2 = 17

a) As the constants are equal, the situation represents a proportional relationship.

b) The constant of 2/3 cupcakes per minute means that in a minute, 2/3 of a cupcake is made.

<h3>What is a proportional relationship?</h3>

A proportional relationship is a function in which the output variable is given by the input variable multiplied by a constant of proportionality, that is:

y = kx

In which k is the constant of proportionality.

In this problem, the constants for each situation are:

k = 30/45 = (30/15)/(45/15) = 2/3 = 20/30.

Since the constants are equal, the situation represents a proportional relationship.

The constant of 2/3 cupcakes per minute means that in a minute, 2/3 of a cupcake is made.

Social studies class is 4 more than two times the length of recess, in minutes.

makvit [3.9K]

Since there are no numbers, i will assume that the length of recess is 1 minute, or x. if social studies is 4 more than 2 times the length of recess, we can use the equation x*2+4 to solve the problem. the end result will be 6 minutes. Social studies is 6 minutes longer than recess

Do alto de um farol cuja altura é de 20 m avista se um navio sob ângulo de depressão de 30°. A que distância , aproximadamente,

Mkey [24]

Esta é a trigonometria . Se você desenhar uma linha a partir do topo da casa de luz para o barco, você terá a hypotonuse de um triângulo. Um truque é lembrar que este é um triângulo especial. É um triângulo 30-60-90 , que tem propriedades especiais mostradas na fixação abaixo . por isso sabemos que o lado adjacente que não é o hyposonuse é x√3 . Agora sabemos que x√3 = 20
Solve for x.
x√3=20
divide both sides by √3.
x=20/(√3)
Try not to have square roots (√) in denomenator so multiply top and bottom by √3 and get
x=(20√3)/3
x is what we are looking for so the answer is 
20√3 m ou cerca de 34.64 m
