Answer:Alden is 13 years old

Step-by-step explanation

Let x represent Alden's age.

Let y represent the age of his sister.

Let z represent the age of his second sister.

His sister is 5 years older than he is and 3 times as old as his second sister. This means that

y = x + 5

y = 3z

Alden's brother is 4 years younger than his second sister. It means that his brother's age is

z - 4

His brother is 2. It means that

z - 4 = 2

z = 2 + 4 = 6

y = 3z

y = 3 × 6 = 18

Substituting y = 18 into y = x + 5, it becomes

18 = x + 5

x = 18 - 5 = 13

Multiple similarity transformations are performed on a triangle. which elements must be preserved?
romanna [79]
Answer – Angle Measure
 Generally speaking, when similarity transformations are performed on a triangle, the angle measure is preserved, whereas the length of the sides may be enlarged or reduced depending on the scale factor of the transformation, thus giving rise to similar triangles with corresponding angles that have exactly the same measure and corresponding sides that are proportional. <span>
