Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the ages be r and m
<u>We have:</u>
<u>Substitute m in the second equation and solve for r:</u>
- m = 117 - r
- 5r = 9 + 3( 117 - r)
- 5r = 9 + 351 - 3r
- 5r + 3r = 360
- 8r = 360
- r = 360/8
- r = 45
<u>Then m is</u>
In the figure we have three parallel lines cut by two transversals
The theorem stares:
If two or more parallel lines are cut by two transversals, then they divide the transversals proportionally.
Applying this theorem we have:

To solve for x we cross multiply
6x=20
Dividing both sides by 6 we have:

The second option x=
is the right answer
Answer:
x = 4 - 5/2 y
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 5y = 8.
Subtract 5x from each side
2x + 5y -5y = 8-5y
2x = 8 -5y
Divide each side by 2
2x/2 = (8-5y)/2
x = 4 - 5/2 y
