Answer:

You are currently 40 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the current age is represented by the variable x.

x = current age

The question says that "if you take half my age and add 7, you get my age 13 years ago"

This can be represented like this:

1/2(x) + 7 = x - 13

Now we solve for x using basic algebra:

1/2(x) = x - 20

-1/2(x) = -20

x = 40

To check if this is correct, plug it back into the equation and see if both sides equal each other:

1/2(40) + 7 = (40) - 13

20 + 7 = 27

27 = 27

Hope this helps (●'◡'●)

Find AC and FB.<br> Points B, D, and F are midpoints of the sides of ACE. EC=40 and DF=18.
ANTONII [103]
The second option. A is 36 and B is 20. FD is half of AC, so 18*2 is 36. FB is half of EC, so it’s 20.
