Answer:24

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of their ages is 60 yr. As such

7x + 3x = 60

10x = 60

x = 60 / 10

x = 6

The rationale is 6, therefore

Father's age is 7x = 7 × 6= 42 years

Son's age is 3x = 3 × 6 = 18 years

Difference in their ages

42 - 18 = 24 years

Answer:

x = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles form a straight line, so they will sum to 180

4x - 8 + 34 + 76- x = 180

Combine like terms

3x+ 102 = 180

Subtract 102 from each side

3x+102-102 = 180-102

3x= 78

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 78/3

x = 26

Which equation is equivalent to 2/3x-5/6=-5/12x+1/4

umka21 [38]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{3} x - \frac{5}{6} = - \frac{5}{12} x + \frac{1}{4} \\ \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{5}{12} x = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{5}{6} \\ \frac{8}{12} x + \frac{5}{12}x = \frac{3}{12} + \frac{10}{12} \\ \frac{13}{12} x = \frac{13}{12} \\ x = 1$

The two triangles below are similar. What value of Q and B would make this true

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

∠B = ∠Q = 26°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles B and Q should be same, therefore:

Q = 4x + 2 and B = 15x - 64

The equation below as per above, solving for x:

4x + 2 = 15x - 64
15x - 4x = 64 +2
11x = 66
x = 6

Then the angle measures:

4*6 + 2 = 26°
