Answer:

in right angled triangle ABC

hypotenuse [h]=65ft

base[b]=xft

height[p]=63ft

by using Pythagoras law

h²=p²+b²

65²=63²+x²

x²=65²-63²

x=√256

x=16feet

so <em><u>the third side of the </u></em><em><u>sail</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>is</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>1</u></em><em><u>6</u></em><em><u>f</u></em><em><u>t</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>

Value of x is 3.2x-9.6=38.4?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The steps that can be done to both sides of the equation is: Add 9.6, then divide by 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation:

3.2x - 9.6 = 38.4

-First you add both sides 9.6:

3.2x -9.6 +9.6 = 38.4 +9.6

3.2x = 48

-Then, you divide both sides by 3.2:

\frac{3.2x}{3.2} = \frac{48}{3.2}

x=15

Answer:

2(y+2)

so

The sum of ages of the sisters is

x+y

substitute equation A in the expression of the sum of ages

(y+4)+y=2y+4

simplify
