Let
x------> Cathy's<span> ages
</span>y------> Tony's ages

we know that
x+y=65-----> x=65-y-----> equation 1
y-8=(2/5)*(x-8)-----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
y-8=(2/5)*(65-y-8)---> y-8=22.8-0.4y----> y+0.4y=22.8+8
1.4y=30.8-----> y=22
x=65-y-----> x=65-22----> x=43

the answer is
Cathy's ages is 43 years 
Tony's ages is 22 years

Vertical and Adjacent Angles (3 Activities)<br> 100 POINTS+BRAINLIEST
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Problem B: x = 12; m<EFG = 48

Problem C: m<G = 60; m<J = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem B.

Angles EFG and IFH are vertical angles, so they are congruent.

m<EFG = m<IFH

4x = 48

x = 12

m<EFG = m<IFH = 48

Problem C.

One angle is marked a right angle, so its measure is 90 deg.

The next angle counterclockwise is marked 30 deg.

Add these two measures together, and you get 120 deg.

<J is vertical with the angle whose measure is 120 deg, so m<J = 120 deg.

Angles G and J from a linear pair, so they are supplementary, and the sum of their measures is 180 deg.

m<G = 180 - 120 = 60
