Answer:

Priya's age = 15

Amirah's age = 19

Shirley's age = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the age of Priya.

According to the question,

Amirah's age = x + 4

Shirley's age = x - 2

Their sum is 47.

So,

x + 4 + x + x - 2 = 47

3x + 2 = 47

3x = 47 - 2

3x = 45

x = 45/3

x = 15

So,

Priya's age = 15

Amirah's age = 15 + 4 = 19

Shirley's age = 15 - 2 = 13

Answer:

Priya is 15 years old

Amirah is 19 years old and

Shirley is 13 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

let Amirah =x

let Priya = y

let Shirley = s

so we have

x= 4+y

s=y-2

x+y+s =47

we have x= 4+y

4+y+y+s=47

4+2y+s=47

2y+s=43

s-y=-2 (MULTIPLY BY NEGATIVE 1)

y-s =2

2y+s= 43

by solving simultaneously we get

3y= 45

y=15

x= 4+y

x=19

s=y-2

s= 13

so Priya is 15 years old

Amirah is 19 years old and

Shirley is 13 years old

Which set of numbers represents a Pythagorean triple?
vredina [299]

Answer:

52 , 165 , 173 is Pythagorean triple.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean triple;

a² + b² = c²

Computation:

88² + 105² ≠ 139²

39² + 80² ≠ 119²

38² + 198² ≠ 202²

52² + 165² = 173²

So,

52 , 165 , 173 is Pythagorean triple.
