Answer:

Samantha's age = 27 years

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let Jack's age be = x

As Samantha is one year less than twice her brother Jack’s age.

  • So Samantha's age = 2x-1

As the sum of their ages is 41.

Thus, the equation become

x+2x-1 = 41

3x-1 = 41

3x = 42

Dividing both sides by 3

x = 14

It indicates that Jack's age = 14 years

Therefore,

Samantha's age = 2x-1 = 2(14)-1 = 27 years

Which statement are true
Ket [755]

Answer:

  • Line XY contains ray OX and ray OY
  • Line XY contains segment YX
  • Ray YX exists in the diagram

Step-by-step explanation:

A ray can be named by any pair of points on an infinite line. Point O, X, and Y on the same line can be used to name rays OX, OY, XY, YX, OY, and XO. The first point named is the end point of the ray. The ray goes through the other point and continues indefinitely.

BA can be the name of a line segment, but not a ray. The line shown does not extend from point B beyond point A.

Any segment can be named by its end points in either order.

So, we have ...

  • Line XY contains ray OX and ray OY
  • Line XY contains segment YX
  • Ray YX exists in the diagram
