The answer to your question is,

Ed is 27. His brother is 9.

How did I get this answer?

Ed's age is twice that of his brother. So of course, when you divide 36 by 2, you would get 18. They are not twins so this wouldn't be the answer. You need to divide 18 by 2 again. This makes 9. If you add 9 to 27, that makes 36. Which is their ages.

Given the diagram below find x, and the measure of

Sophie [7]

Answer:

8, 40 , 50

Step-by-step explanation:

the measure of A is 90°

so 5x + 7x - 6 = 90

now.. to find the x

5x + 7x - 6 = 90

5x + 7x = 90 + 6

12x = 96

x = 96/12

x = 8

so the measure of angle A1 is (5*8) = 40

the measure of angle A2 is (7*8-6) = 50

finaly the angle A is (50+40) = 90

Corresponding sides have the same ratio, so
x/15 = 12/(12+8) = 3/5
x = 15*3/5
x = 9

Emily spent £2400 on holiday in 2017.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

£1920

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount she spent in 2016 is 20% less than 2017. 20% less than is the same as 80% of the amount she spent in 2017. So, to find how much she spent in 2016, multiply 2400 by 0.80 (the decimal form of 80%):

2400 * 0.8 = 1920

Emily spent £1920 on holiday in 2016.

I hope this helps :)

A rectangle measures 6 cm by 4 cm. Another rectangle with adjacent sides 8 cm and x cm is geometrically similar to it. Find the

Elis [28]

Answer:

5 1/3 or 5.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the scale factor, you must divide the two equal sides.

$\frac{6}{8}$

which equals

$\frac{3}{4}$ or 0.75

Now, the way to get the value of x is to divide 4 by 3/4 0r 0.75

$\frac{4}{0.75}$

Which equals

5.333 repeating or 5 1/3

Hope this helps. If you have any follow-up questions, feel free to ask.

Have a great day! :)
