Write this story as equations:

s = 5j
(s+12) = 2*(j+12)

Then solve:

5j+12 = 2j + 24 => 3j = 12 => j=4, s=5*4=20

Steve is 20, Janis is 4
In 12 years they will be 32 and 16

HOW TO DO THIS QUESTION ​
sdas [7]

Answer:

A ≈ 40.3 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of right Δ ACD is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

Here A = 50.5, b = CD and h = AC , then

\frac{1}{2} × 14 × AC = 50.5

7 AC = 50.5 ( divide both sides by 7 )

AC ≈ 7.214

The area of Δ ABC is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} × BC × AC × sin36°

  = 0.5 × 19 × 7.214 × sin36°

  ≈ 40.3 cm² ( to 3 sf )

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf 3(n + 5) \leq  100}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The sum of a number n and 5 => n + 5
  • Thrice the sum of a number n and 5 => 3(n + 5)
  • At most means "less than or equal to", the sign of which is "≤"

<u>So, the inequality will be:</u>

3(n + 5) ≤ 100

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
