Answer:

44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that Devaughn's age is D, and Sydney's age is S.

We know that D is 7 greater than S, so D = 7 + S.

We know that the sum of their ages, or D + S, is equal to 95, so D+S = 95

We have

D = 7 + S

D + S = 95

What we can do is plug D= 7 + S into the second equation to get

D + S = 95

= (7+ S) + S

= 7 + 2 * S

7+2 * S - 95

subtract 7 from both sides to isolate the coefficient and the variable

2 * S = 88

divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable

S = 44

Sydney is therefore 44 years old

Select the measures of the angles of a triangle whose angles have measures in the ratio 6:8:10
morpeh [17]

Answer:

45, 60, 75

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the angles are 6:8:10

Multiply by x to get the angle measures

6x, 8x,10x

We know the sum of the angles is 180 for a triangle

6x+8x+10x = 180

Combine like terms

24x = 180

Divide each side by 24

24x/24 = 180/24

x =7.5

Each angle is

6x = 6(7.5) =45

8x = 8(7.5) =60

10x = 10*7.5 = 75

PLEASE HELP ASAP 25 PTS + BRAINLIEST TO RIGHT/BEST ANSWER
mash [69]

Answer:

(-6,9,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x -y +z=6

-3x-y+3z =0

x-3z =3

Multiply the second equation by -1

-1 *(-3x-y+3z) =0*-1

3x +y -3z =0

Add this to the first equation

-3x -y +z=6

3x +y -3z =0

----------------------

0 + 0 + -2z = 6

Divide by -2

-2z/-2 = 6/-2

z = 6/-2

z=-3


Take the third equation to find x

x-3z=3

x-3(-3) = 3

x+9=3

Subtract 9 from each side

x+9-9 =3-9

x=-6

Now we need to find y

3x +y -3z =0

3(-6) +y -3(-3) =0

-18 +y +9=0

-9+y =0

Add 9 to each side

-9+9+y = 0+9

y=9

(-6,9,-3)
