Answer:

<em>Present age of Kevin = 6 years</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Daniel be 'x' years

So, present age of Kevin = (3 + x) years

Two years ago,

Kevin's age was = [(3 + x) - 2] years

& Danial's age was = (x - 2) years

Its given that two years ago, Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel

So,

=> (3 + x) - 2 = 4(x - 2)

=> 3 + x - 2 = 4x - 8

=> 1 + x = 4x - 8

=> 3x = 9

=> x = 3

Therefore, present age of Daniel = 3 years

& Present age of Kevin = 3 + 3 = 6 years

Answer:

kevin is 6 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Kevin's age now be a

Daniel's age now be b

Kevin is 3 years older than Daniel. -> a-3 = b

Two years ago, Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel -> a-2 = 4(b-2) = 4b -8

-> a-3 -(a-2) = b - (4b-8)

-> - 1 = -3 b +8

-> -9 = -3b

-> b = 3

-> a = 6

At a pet store, Davina counted 12 parrots out of 20 birds. Which is an equivalent ratio of parrots to birds at the pet store?

Papessa [141]

Answer:

3 to 5 This is because if you simplify the ratio by dividing each number in the ratio by 4, therefore for every group of 5 birds 3 of them are parrots

The Slope of lines parallel to line is 1/2 and the Slope of lines perpendicular to line is -2.

<h3>What is the equation of a straight line ?</h3>

An equation that can be written in the form of y = mx+c

where m is the slope of the line

and c is the intercept on y axis

The equation given in the question is

y=1/2x−7

in this the slope = 1/2

Intercept = -7

For parallel Lines

For a parallel line , the slope of the line is same

and is given by m = 1/2

For a perpendicular line

Slope will be equal to

-1/m

here -1/m = -2

Therefore the slope for perpendicular line is -2.

In a diagram, X is the midpoint of Segment VZ. VW =5, and VY =20. Find the coordinates of W,X, and Y.

guapka [62]

solution:

$x(a_{x},b_{x})is midpoint of vz\\
a_{x}=\frac{a_{v}+a_{z}}{2}=\frac{-12+22}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5\\
b_{x}=\frac{b_{v}+b_{z}}{2}=\frac{0+0}{2}=0\\
and,\\
x(5,0)\\
w(a_{w},b_{w}),v_{w} and w is on the right of v.\\
a_{w}-a_{v}=5\\
a_{w}-(-12)=5\\
a_{w}+12=5\\
a_{w}=5-12=-7\\
w(-7,0)\\
y(a_{y},b_{y})=20 and y is on the right of v.\\
a_{y}-a_{v}=20\\
a_{y}-(-12)=20\\
a_{y}+12=20\\
a_{y}=20-12=8\\
y=(8,0)$

I need help with this please

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

steps below

Step-by-step explanation:

3.2.1 AD = DB* sin 2 = DB * sin θ .. DE // AB ∠2= θ ... (1)

By laws of sines: DB / sin ∠5 = x / sin ∠4

∠4 = θ-α ∠5 = 180°-<u>∠1</u>-∠4 = 180°-<u>∠3</u>-∠4 = 180°-(90°-θ)-(θ-α)) = 90°+α

DB = (x*sin ∠5)/sin (θ-α)

= (x* sin (90°+α)) / sin (θ-α)

AD = DB*sinθ

= (x* sin (90°+α))*sinθ / sin (θ-α)

= x* (sin90°cosα+cos90°sinα)*sinθ / sin (θ-α) .... sin90°=1, cos90°=0

= x* cosα* sinθ / sin (θ-α)

3.2.2 Please apply Laws of sines to calculate the length
