Answer:

18 and 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the age of Claire and y the age of her mother

Claire's mother is 4 years more than twice Claire's age

  • y = 2x+4

The sum of their ages are is 58

  • x+y = 58

the system is:

\left \{ {{y=2x-4} \atop {y+x=58}} \right.  

Multiply (y+x = 58) by -1 and then add it to (y = 2x+4) to eliminate y

  • -y-x = -58
  • -y-x+y = 2x+4-58
  • -x -2x = -54
  • -3x = -54
  • x = 54/3
  • x = 18

y= 58-18 = 40

so claire's mother is 40 years old and claire is 18

Find the value of x.<br><br>• 5<br>• 20<br>• 40<br>• 45​
insens350 [35]

Answer:

3rd option: x= 40

Step-by-step explanation:

4x° +20°= 180° (adj. ∠s on a str. line)

<em>Bringing</em><em> </em><em>constants</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>side</em><em>:</em>

4x°= 180° -20°

<em>Simplify</em><em>:</em>

4x°= 160°

<em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>:</em>

x°= 40°

Thus, x=40.

A person, who decided to go to weekend trip should not exceed 8 hours driving in a day. Average speed of forward journey is 60 k
Paraphin [41]
Since he must not exceed 8 hours driving in a day:
Let the distance of the picnic be = x km.

Therefore  time for forward journey  =  x / 60
Return journey                                   =  x / 50

The total trip should not exceed 8 hours.
Therefore:              x / 60 + x / 50  <= 8.      LCM = 300

Taking LCM and multiplying on both sides:
                                5x  +  6x  <=  8(300)
                                       11x    <=  2400
                                           x    <=    2400/11
                                           x   <=  218.18
The picnic spot must be less than or equal to 218.18 km.

Will mark BRAINLIEST!! — Point H is the circumcenter of triangle DEF. Which must be true? Check ALL that apply. See image.
Margarita [4]

Answer:

A, C, F

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition: The circumcenter is  the center of the triangle's circumcircle - the circle that passes through all three of the triangle's vertices. If point H is the circumcenter of the triangle DEF, then the circumcircle passes through its vertices D, E and F (option A is true).

Option B is false, the circumcircle doesn't pass through the points L, M and N. This option is true for inscribed circle, not for circumcircle.

Option C is true, because HD and HE are the radii of the circumcircle.

Option D is false. This option is true for inscribed circle, not for circumcircle.

Option E is false. This option is true for inscribed circle, not for circumcircle.

Option F is true, because both these angles are right angles.
