Answer:

Tema = 26 years

Juma = 13 years

Abdul = 26 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let their ages be represented as:

Tema = x

Juma = y

Abdul = z

From the question, we are told that:

Juma is twice as old as Abdul

y = 2z

z = y/2

= 0.5y

And Juma is a half times as old as Tema.

y = 1/2x

y = 0.5x

x = y/0.5

x = 2y

Hence,

x + y + z = 65

2y + y + 2y = 65

= 5y = 65

y = 65/5

y = 13 years

Since y = Zuma's age, Zuma is 13 years old

From the above question

Since 2y = z

y = 13

2 × 13 = z

z = 26

Since z = Abdul's age, Abdul is 26 years old

From the above question

x = 2y

y = 13 years

x = 2 × 13 years

x = 26 years.

Since x = Tema's age

Tema is 26 years.

Therefore, their present ages are:

Tema = 26 years

Juma = 13 years

Abdul = 26 years

What is the steps for Discount
Inga [223]

1.) Divide the percentage discount by 100 to convert it into decimal. For example, if a shop offers a 40 per cent discount, divide 40 by 100 to get 0,4.

2.) Multiply the decimal number by the original price to find the discount percentage. For example,if the original price is $120, 120 is multiplied by 0,4 to find the discount which is $48.

3.) <span>Subtract the discounted amount to the original price to find the actual price with the discount subtracted. For example, subtract $48 to $120 to find that the price with the discount is $72.</span>

A line’s equation is given in point-slope form:<br> y−6=(−23)(x+6)<br> This line’s slope is?
Nikolay [14]

The slope of the line is -23

<h3>How to determine the slope of the line?</h3>

The line’s equation is given in point-slope form:

y − 6 = (−23)(x + 6)

The line’s equation in point-slope is represented as:

y − y1 = m(x - x1)

Where

m represents the slope

By comparing y − y1 = m(x - x1) and y − 6 = (−23)(x + 6), we have

m = -23

Hence. the slope of the line is -23
