Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara. In 6 years, Ralph will be only twice as old as Sara will be then. Find Ralph's age now.

1 answer:

6 0

R=3*S
in 6 years ⇒R+6=2*(S+6)
3*S+6=2*S+2*6
3S+6=2S+12
3S-2S=12-6
S=6
R=3*6=18 ( Ralph 's age now)

in 6 years Ralph's age will be 3*x+6

Equation : (7x-4)+(3x-3)+(x) = 180
In the equation the sum of the internal angle in the triangle is 180 degrees. Use this equation to figure the sum of angle in any quadrilateral 180*(number of sides-2)
Solve the equation
Put all similar variable on one side
7x+3x+x-4-3=180
11x-7=180
11x=180+7
11x=187
x = 187/11
x = 17
Now find the angles by plugging in x
Angle F (7*17-4) = 115 degrees
Angle G (x) = 17 degrees
Angle E (3*17-3) = 48 degrees
If you add 115+48+17 you will get a sum of 180 this shows your answer is right

Angle F = 115
Angle G = 17
Angle E = 48
