Answer:

Janet age 5 years ago is 19-5= 14 years

Step-by-step explanation:

janet is now 25 years younger than her mother Carol.

Let x be the age of mother

Janet is x-25

In 6 years, Carol becomes x+6

x-25+6=\frac{x+6}{2}

Solve for x

x-19=\frac{x+6}{2}

multiply both sides by 2

2x-38=x+6

subtract  x on both sides

x-38=+6

add 38 on both sides

x=44

Age of Carol now = 44

Age of Janet now = 44-25=19 years

Janet age 5 years ago is 19-5= 14 years

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

You will need 400 meters of cord.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a square, we know the perimeter of the piece of land is 20 times 4, or 80. Because it is going around it 5 times, we just multiply 80 by 5 to get 400. You will need 400 meters of cord.
