Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose two years ago my brother's age was x years

Then, my age was 3x

Three years from now, my brother's age will be (x +2+3) = (x+5) years

And my age will be (3x+2+3) = (3x+5) years

But it is given that i will be twice as old as my brother.

So, 2(x+5)= (3x+5)

or, x= 5 years

So my brother's present age is 5+2= 7 years

And my age is 5*3+2= 17 years

Find the slant height x of the pyramid shown, to the nearest tenth.<br> 5 mm<br> 9 mm<br> 9 mm
MArishka [77]

The slant height of the pyramid can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem. Therefore, the slant height is 6.7 mm

<h3>How to find slant height of a pyramid?</h3>

The slant height x, can be found using Pythagoras theorem,

Therefore,

c² = a² + b²

where

  • c = hypotenuse
  • a and b are other two legs.

Therefore,

x² = 4.5² + 5²

x² = 20.25 + 25

x² = 45.25

x = √45.25

x = 6.72681202354

x = 6.7 mm

4x-2y=14
Blababa [14]
4x - 2y = 14
y = 0.5x -1

Get just one variable on one side for both equations.

4x - 2y = 14 ⇒ 4x = 2y + 14 ⇒ 4x - 14 = 2y
y = 0.5x - 1 ⇒ x - 2 = 2y

Use the transitive property and then solve for x.

x-2 = 4x-14
12 = 3x
x = 4
