Michael's present age is 53
Step-by-step
17-4=13
John is 13
than when John will be 49
u add 4 to 49
4+49=53
so Michael is 53 because he is 4 years older :)
FOIL first outer inner last it’s distribution
If the bases ar same, assume exponents are same
if
x^z=x^m
assume z=m
so
base is both 7 therefor
3x+5=1-x
solve
add x
4x+5=1
minus 5
4x=-4
divide 4
x=-1
Using the tangent rule:
Tangent(angle) = Opposite leg / Adjacent leg
We will use the 23 degree angle to solve for x.
Tangent(23) = X / 6
x = 6 * tangent(23)
x = 2.5
