The sum of the angles equals 180
therefore
x+(1/4x)=180
1 1/4 x = 180
x=180/ 1 1/4
x=144
1/4 x =1/4(144)=36
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Can't have 0 in the denominator
x - Ram's age now
Ram is half his father's age now, so his father's age is two times Ram's age:
2x - Ram's father age now
x - 10 - Ram's age ten years ago
2x - 10 - Ram's father age ten years ago
ten years ago he was one third his father's age so his father's age was three times Ram's age:
2x - 10 = 3•(x - 10)
2x - 10 = 3x - 30
-10 + 30 = 3x - 2x
20 = x
2x = 2•20 = 40
Answer:
<u>Ram is 20 years old now, Ram's father is 40 years old now.</u>
