Answer:

8 years old is he right now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Ben be x.

As per the statement:

After 16 years.

Age of Ben will be = x + 16

In 16 years, Ben will be 3 times as old as he is right now.

⇒x+16 = 3x

Subtract x from both sides we have;

16 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

8 = x

or

x = 8 years

Therefore, 8 years old is he right now.

Let's represent Ben's current age by x and his age in 16 years, x+16.If in 16 years, his age will be 3 times his age now, the equation is x+16=3x
x+16=3x
x-x+16=3x-x
16=2x
16/2=2x/2
8=x
Therefore Ben is 8 years old.

Please help it's about Phythagorean Theorem! <br> I attached the image
storchak [24]
Pythagorean Theorem is:

c² = a² + b²

Let’s find the values of a and b.

Looking at the image provided in the question we have 2 number already, 70 and 120.

Let’s name the side with length 120 as a, and the side with length 70 as b.

Then we should substitute these values into the Pythagorean Theorem:


c² = 120² + 70²

c² = 14400 + 4900

c² = 19300

Then we should work out the value of c by square rooting both sides:

√c = √19300

c = 138.92444

Therefore the ball would have to be hit a total of 138.92444 units.

If you have to round, that would be 139 units.

Find x if AB = 9, BC = 2x - 5,<br> and AC = x + 9
Oxana [17]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the fact that line segments AB and BC are parts of the whole line segment AC, we can write the following equation:

AB + BC = AC

Now, using the given values, we can substitute in for the equation and solve for x:

AB + BC = AC

9 + 2x - 5 = x + 9

2x + 4 = x + 9

x = 5

Thus, we have found that for these sets of equations for these line segments, our value for x should be 5.

Cheers.

154 and 145 to the nearest hundred
Yuki888 [10]

Answer: 154: 200 145: 100

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number next to the place value is 5 or more you round it up. Like I did 154. But if the number is less that 5 you put everything to zero EXCEPT for the place value you are rounding. Good Luck
