Answer:

George is 18 and his brother is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

let the brother's age be n then George's age is 3n ( 3 times his brother's age )

n + 3n = 24 ( sum of their ages )

4n = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

n = 6

and 3n = 3 × 6 = 18

George is 18 years old and his brother is 6 years old.

Answer:

G=18

Step-by-step explanation:

George-G

1/3G+G=24

4/3G=24

3/4*4/3G=24*3/4

G=18

George will be 18 years old there we can find his brothers age by dividing it by three thus 18/3=6

Find the perimeter of the following trapezoid:<br> 6 ft<br> 2.5 ft/ 12 ft<br> 2.5 ft<br> 8 ft
sasho [114]

Answer:

31ft

Step-by-step explanation:

6 ft  + 2.5 ft + 12 ft  + 2.5 ft  + 8 ft  = 31ft

I assumed the slash in the space between 2.5ft and 12ft was an error, so I ignored it in the solution to this problem.

Besides that, perimeter is found by adding all sides of the shape or figure together, and the sum of that is the perimeter.

The basic formula for perimeter is:

base + height + base + height.

I do not think you square perimeter as you do area (e.g. 31ft^2).

TEA [102]

Solution,solve\:for\:d,\:d-10-2d+7=8+d-10-3d\quad :\quad d=1

Steps:

d-10-2d+7=8+d-10-3d

\mathrm{Subtract\:}d-10\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides},\\d-10-2d+7-\left(d-10\right)=8+d-10-3d-\left(d-10\right)

\mathrm{Refine},\\-2d+7=8-3d

\mathrm{Subtract\:}7\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides},\\-2d+7-7=8-3d-7

\mathrm{Simplify},\\-2d=-3d+1

\mathrm{Add\:}3d\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides},\\-2d+3d=-3d+1+3d

\mathrm{Simplify},\\d=1

\mathrm{The\:Correct\:Answer\:is\:d=1}

\mathrm{Hope\:This\:Helps!!!}
