Answer:

48 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the complete question is "The ratio of ages of kissi and esinam is 3:5 and that of esinam and lariba is 3:5. The sum of ages of all 3 is 147 years. whats the age difference between oldest and youngest ?"

It is given that

Kissi : Esinam = 3:5 = 9:15

Esinam : Lariba = 3:5 = 15:25

So, the combined ratio is Kissi : Esinam : Lariba = 9:15:25

Let ages of Kissi, Esinam, Lariba are 9x, 15x and 25x.

Sum of ages of all 3 is 147 years.

9x+15x+25x=147

49x=147

x=3

The value of x is 3. So, the age of all three are

Kissi=9x=9(3)=27

Esinam=15x=15(3)=45

Lariba=25x=25(3)=75

Since Lariba is oldest and Kissi is youngest, therefore, the difference between their ages is

75-27=48

Hence, difference between oldest and youngest is 48 years.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 10 ft long. the shorter leg is 2ft shorter than the longer leg. find the side lengths of t
Gwar [14]
Since we have two possible pieces of information and 2 items to solve for, we know this is a system of equations.
Our first piece of information is that our shorter leg (s) is 2 feet shorter than our longer leg (l). This can be written as s=l-2.
Our second piece of information is that using the Pythagorean theorem that our shorter leg squared plus our longer leg squared is equal to our hypotenuse squared. This can be represented by s^2+l^2=10^2. Now we can solve.
We have already isolated for s in our first equation, so we can substitute l-2 in.
(l-2)^2+l^2=10^2
l-2+l=10
2l-2=10
2l=12
l=6
Now we can substitute in for s in our simpler equation
s=6-2
s=4
We now know that using our knowledge of systems of equations, the side lengths of this right angle triangle are 6 and 4.
