Answer:

  • Karl is 40
  • Eddie is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

10 years ago, the sum of their ages was 65 -2·10 = 45.

If Karl was twice as old as Eddie, his contribution was 2/3 of the sum and Eddie's was 1/3. That is, Karl was (2/3)(45) = 30 and Eddie was 15 at that time.

Now, Karl is 40 and Eddie is 25.

__

This can be solved using a system of equations.

  e = 65 -k

  (k -10) = 2(e -10)

Substituting the first equation into the second gives ...

  k -10 = 2((65 -k) -10)

  k -10 = 110 -2k . . . . . . . simplify

  3k = 120 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10+2k

  k = 40

  e = 65 -40 = 25

VladimirAG [237]
This is the concept of commercial arithmetic, we are required to calculate the amount that Kerri contributes towards her health insurance if the total annual contribution is $6,486 and the employer pays 80% of this;
percentage insurance that Kerri pays is:
1000-80
=20%
Annual premium= $6,486
Amount paid by Kerri will be:
20/100*[total amount paid]
20/100*6,486
=$1,297.2
The answer is $ 1,297.2

The area of the collector panel is (its length) x (its width).

You know the long dimension ... it's 12 feet.
You need to find the short dimension.

The short dimension is the hypotenuse of the right triangle at the end of
the whole setup ,,, the triangle colored black.

In that right triangle, the leg standing up is 5-ft, and the acute angle 
that's down on the roof is 54° degrees.  Can you find the length of
the hypotenuse with this much information ?

How about . . . . .  <u>sin(54°) = 5 / hypotenuse</u><u>  ?</u>
(This is the big breakthrough.  From here, the answer
practically falls into your lap.)

Multiply each side by 'hypotenuse'  :      sin(54°) x (hypotenuse)  = 5

Divide each side by  sin(54°) :          Hypotenuse = 5 / sin(54°)

And there it is.       

Area of the collector = (12-ft) x [ 5-ft / sin(54°) ]

That's    (60 square feet) / sin(54°)  =  <em>74.164 square feet</em> (rounded)

2 KZ = WZ
2(y + 1) = 3y
2y + 2 = 3y
y = 2
so
KZ = 2 + 1 = 3
WZ = 3(2) = 6

WK =  WZ + ZK
WK = 6 + 3
WK = 9
