Answer:Teo's age = 7 years ,Richard's age = 19 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let Teo's age be represented as x

Such that Richard 's age = 5 + 2x

and their combined ages equaling 26 can be expressed as

x + 5+ 2x = 26

Step 2 --- SOLVING

x + 5+ 2x = 26

3x+ 5= 26

3x= 26-5

3x= 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

Teo's age = 7 years

Richard's age = 5+2x= 5 + 14= 19 years

A. 11x - 9

INCORRECT, this has two terms 11x and 9

B. 20x⁹

CORRECT, this only has one term!

C. 20x⁹ - 7x

INCORRECT, this has two terms 20x⁹ and 7x

Plss help me do this o-o

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

$x=\sqrt6\\y=\sqrt{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that since angles in a triangle add up to 180º, the remaining angle must be 45º.

So the side with length $x$ must be equal to the side with length $\sqrt6$ . That is:

$x=\sqrt6$

Now, by Pythagoras:

$y=\sqrt{(\sqrt6)^2+(\sqrt6)^2}\\=\sqrt{6+6}\\=\sqrt{12}$

The Glitz Jewelry Kit contains round beads in 6 different colors plus 100 star-shaped beads.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

False, it would actually be 106 beads. If this was a multiplication problem, that would also be false, because 6 times 100 is 600, not 350.

But let's attempt to make this statement true.

First/Last step: Find the missing beads.

The missing beads are 144.

Why?

Because you must add 144 to reach 250, there is no other way but to multiply. In this case, because the key word is, "In all" we are adding.
