Philip is 5 years old and Jon is 19 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let x be the age of Philip Now

Since Jon is 14 years older than Philip,

Age of Jon = 14 + x

Step 2 :

After  2 years,

Age of Philip = x+ 2

Age of Jon = 14+x+2 = 16+x

Step 3 :

Given that in 2 years, Jon will be 3 times as old as Philip.

So we have 16 + x =3(x+2)

=> 16 + x = 3x +6

=> 2x = 10 = x = 5

Hence age of Philip is 5 years

Age of jon = x + 14 = 5+ 14 =19 years

Use ΔABC to answer the question that follows:
ruslelena [56]

Let's try to render the first part of the proof a bit more legibly.


Point F is a midpoint of Line segment AB

Point E is a midpoint of Line segment AC

Draw Line segment BE

Draw Line segment FC by Construction

Point G is the point of intersection between Line segment BE and Line segment FC Intersecting Lines Postulate

Draw Line segment AG by Construction

Point D is the point of intersection between Line segment AG and Line segment BC Intersecting Lines Postulate

Point H lies on Line segment AG such that Line segment AG ≅ Line segment GH by Construction


OK, now we continue. We need to prove some parallel lines; statement 4 lets us do so.


IV Line segment FG is parallel to line segment BH and Line segment GE is parallel to line segment HC -------- Midsegment Theorem


Now that we've shown some segments parallel we extend that to collinear segments.


III Line segment GC is parallel to line segment BH and Line segment BG is parallel to line segment HC -------- Substitution


We have enough parallel lines to prove a parallelogram


I BGCH is a parallelogram -------- Properties of a Parallelogram (opposite sides are parallel)


Now we draw conclusions from that.


II Line segment BD ≅ Line segment DC -------- Properties of a Parallelogram (diagonals bisect each other)


Answer: IV III I II, second choice
