The answer is the first choice: 7, 15, 20.
When you want to know what three numbers can make up a triangle. All you have to do is take the first two numbers and add them up. If the sum is larger than the third number, it can form a triangle. If the sum of the first two numbers are smaller than the third number, it cannot form a triangle.

The table shows the heights in inches of trees after they have been planted. Determine the equation which relates x and y.

fenix001 [56]

To get the that relates x and y, we choose two points on the table and use the equation of a straight line as follows:

Recall that the equation of a staight line is obtained from the formula
$\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Using the points (30, 18) and (36, 24), we have
$\frac{y-18}{x-30} = \frac{24-18}{36-30}= \frac{6}{6} =1 \\ \\ \Rightarrow y-18=x-30 \\ \\ \Rightarrow y=x-30+18 \\ \\ \Rightarrow y=x-12$

The sum of the ages of Berma, her mother Rinna and her father Erwin is 80. Two years from now, Rinna’s age will be 13 less than

jekas [21]

Answer: Berma is 5 years old

Rinna is 38 years old

Erwin is 37 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Berma's age

Let y represent Rinna's age

Let z represent Erwin's age

Since the sum of their ages is 80,

x + y + z = 80 - - - - - - -1

Two years from now, Rinna’s age will be 13 less than the sum of Erwin’s age and twice Berma’s age. This means that

y +2 = [ (z+2) + 2(x+2) ] - 13

y +2 = z + 2 + 2x + 4 - 13

2x - y + z = 13 + 2 - 4 -2

2x - y + z = 9 - - - - - - -2

Three years ago, 15 times Berma’s age was 5 less than the age of Rinna. It means that

15(x - 3) = (y - 3) - 5

15x - 45 = y - 3 - 5

15x - y = - 8 + 45

15x - y = 37 - - - - - - - -3

From equation 3, y = 15x - 37

Substituting y = 15x - 37 into equation 1 and equation 2, it becomes

x + 15x - 37 + z = 80

16x + z = 80 + 37 = 117 - - - - - - 4

2x - 15x + 37 + z = 9

-13x + 2 = -28 - - - - - - - - -5

subtracting equation 5 from equation 4,

29x = 145

x = 145/29 = 5

y = 15x - 37

y = 15×5 -37

y = 38

Substituting x= 5 and y = 38 into equation 1, it becomes

5 + 38 + z = 80

z = 80 - 43

z = 37
