is sister?
(a) Write an equation that represents the situation. (1 point)
(b) Solve the equation from Part (a). Show your work. (3 points)

Answer:
Part A: Write an equation.
If the present age is y, then n times the present age = ny.
If the present age is x, then age n years later/hence = x + n.
If the present age is x, then age n years ago = x – n.
The ages in a ratio a: b will be ax and bx.


Part B: Solve the equation.

John’s age =

I wasnt really sure how to write the equation the way you're supposesd to?

John is 27 and his sister is 9. 9*3=27

Answer:

sister = 6 years

John=18 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A(S) + 12 = 3 * A(S), subtracting A(S) from both sides one gets 12 = 2 * A(S). Now dividing both sides by 2 we get A(S) = 12/2 = 6 . Therefore, the age of the sister is 6 years when her brother John is three times as old, that is 18 years.

Which expression is a trinomial of degree 1?<br><br>6 + x – y<br><br>3x – y
VikaD [51]
The correct answer is 6+x-y.

This is because the other answer choice is a binomial and not a trinomial (which contains three terms). A term is always separated by - or + signs.

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height

so old triangle we have  1/2 x b x h = 48

new triangle has base 3 times as long and height is half as long
 so we would get:

1/2 x (3B) x (1/2H) = area

rewrite as 1/2 x 3/2 x b x H = area

divide by original are os 1/2 x b x h and you end up with 3/2

so new area = 3/2 x old area

new area = 3/2 * 48 = 72 square inches

What is m∠DHG? Enter your answer in the box.
LenaWriter [7]

the 2 equations given are vertical angles which mean they would equal the same.

Set the two equations to equal each other to solve for x:

6(x-2) = 3x+30

Simplify the left side:

6x-12 = 3x+30

Add 12 to eac side:

6x = 3x+42

Subtract 3x from each side"

3x = 42

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 42/3

X = 14


Now you know X, replace x with 14 in the equation for DHG:

DHG = 6(x-2)

6(14-2)

Simplify:

6(12)

Multiply:

72

Angle DHG is 72 degrees.
