First lets start by making the denominators the same. I multiplied the 4 by 5 and 10 by 2.
-25/20 = x -14/20
Add 14/20 on both sides (do the opposite to cancel out and whatever you do to one side you need to do to the other.
You should get -11/20 = x

KM bisects on <NKL so m<MKN = m<MKL = 3x + 5
2(m<MKL) + m<JKN = 180
2(3x+5) + 8x + 2 = 180
6x + 10 + 8x + 2 = 180
14x + 12 = 180
14x = 168
x = 12
so
m<MKN = m<MKL = 3x + 5 = 3(12) + 5 = 36 + 5 = 41
answer
b. 41

2 supplementary has sum = 180
x + x + 14 = 180
2x + 14 = 180
2x = 166
x = 83
x + 14 = 83 + 14 = 97
2 angles are 83 and 97
answer
b. 83, 97
Answer: 46 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the father's age be x and the son's age be y, then 3 years ago:
Father = x - 3
son = y - 3
Then , from the first statement :
x - 3 = 3 ( y - 3 )
x - 3 = 3y - 9
x = 3y - 9 + 3
x = 3y - 6 .......................................... equation 1
In five years time
father = x + 5
son = y + 5
Then , from the second statement
x + 5 = 2 ( y + 5 )
x + 5 = 2y + 10
x = 2y + 10 - 5
x = 2y + 5 ........................ equation 2
Equating equation 1 and 2 , we have
3y -6 = 2y + 5
add 6 to both sides
3y = 2y + 5 + 6
subtract 2y from both sides
3y - 2y = 11
y = 11
substitute y = 11 into equation 1 to find the value of x
x = 3y - 6
x = 3(11) - 6
x = 33 - 6
x = 27
This means that the father is presently 27 years and the son is presently 11 years.
In four years time
father = 27 + 4 = 31
son = 11 + 4 = 15
sum of their ages in four years time will be
31 + 15 = 46 years
