The sum of reciprocals of rehman’s ages 3 years ago and 5 years from now is 1/3. Find his present age

Mathematics

Afina-wow [57]3 years ago

Answer:

His age is 7 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rehman's  present age be x years.

1 / (x - 3) + 1 /(x + 5) = 1/3

Multiply through by the LCD 3(x - 3)(x + 5):

3(x + 5) + 3(x - 3) = (x + 5)(x - 3)

3x + 15 + 3x - 9 = x^2 + 2x - 15

x^2 + 2x - 6x - 30 + 9 = 0

x^2 - 4x - 21 = 0

(x - 7)(x + 3) = 0

x = 7  (answer).

5x-2y=11 and 3x+4y=4<br>Find the value of x and y in equation.​
nadya68 [22]
  • 5x-3y=11---(1)
  • 3x+4y=4---(2)

(1)×3 and (2)×5

  • 15x-9y=33-(3)
  • 15x+20y=20-(4)

Subtract both

\\ \sf\longmapsto -29y=13

\\ \sf\longmapsto y=\dfrac{-13}{29}

  • Put in eq(1)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 5x+\dfrac{-117}{29}=11

\\ \sf\longmapsto 5x=11+\dfrac{117}{29}=\dfrac{261+117}{29}=\dfrac{278}{29}

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{278}{145}

SHORT RESPONSE Two angles of a triangle have measures of 35° and 80°. Find the values of the exterior angle measures of the tria
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Before giving the exterior angles, find the third angle. A triangle (all triangles) measure 180 degrees.

35 + 80 + x = 180

115 + x = 180

x = 180 - 115

x = 65

Exterior angles are supplements of the interior angles.

So the exterior angle to 65 degrees is 180 - 65 = 115

And the exterior angle to 35 degrees is 180-35 = 145

The exterior angle to 80 degrees is 180 - 100 = 80

Hi please please help me
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

141.12 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

   Since the area of a trapezoid is the average of the bases multiplied by the height, we can just plug these numbers into the equation! Since the average of 10.2 and 12.2 is 11.2, and the height is 12.6, we multiply them to get the area to be 141.12 cm^2.
