Answer:
x = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure shows two similar triangles. Thus, the side lengths of similar triangles are proportional to each other. Therefore:
Cross multiply
Subtract 24x from each side
Divide both sides by -15
x = 40
when someone says a number squared or cubed, or to the certain power, it means how many times you multiply the base number by itself that many times, for example
2²= 2 * 2
or 9³ = 9 x 9 x 9
a square root or cube root, is a harder to understand, but still somewhat simple, it basically means how many what number squared or cubed equals this number.
so for example the square root of 9 = 3 because 3 x 3=9
or cube roots for example ∛125= 5 because 5 x 5 x 5
So here is an example one for you. √81.
14 days = 2 weeks so
14 times 3 = 42
Answer:
The father is 50 and his son is 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Double the tens digit of the father's age = 10
Plus 5 = 15 (the age of the son)
50 + 15 = 65 (the sum of their ages)
The reverse of the digits of the son's age is 51.
Subtract 1 = 50 (the age of the father)
