The ages of three siblings are consecutive integers. The sum of their ages is 42. Calculate their ages. *

Answer:

13, 14, 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = age of one of the siblings

Since the age of the siblings are consecutive integers, the age of the next sibling would be x + 1 and the age of the third sibling would be x + 2

x +( x +1) + (x +2) = 42

3x + 3 = 42

collect like terms and solve for x

x = 13

The age of the first sibling is 13

The age of the second sibling is x + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14

The age of the third sibling is x + 2 = 13 + 2 = 15

Find the value of y if M is the midpoint of LN. 9y - 4 6y + 5 N ​ help plz
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

If M is the midpoint, then LM = MN

3x - 2= 2x +1

x = 3

So LM = 3x - 2 = 9 -2 = 7

LM = 7

PLEASE ANSWER THIS FAST Will the red square and the orange square always equal the blue square? What colored square is the hypot
Vikentia [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The area of the blue square will always equal the sum of the area of the orange and red rectangles

The pythagorian theorem:

a²+b² = c²

now let a be the side of the red triangle and b the side of the orange one

so a² is the area of the red triangle and b² is the area of the orange one

Let c be the side of the blue rectangle

so c² is the area of it

then what we concluded is right

  • the hypotenuse is the blue side since it is the larger one

Answer:

9.     6k + 5 and 2k - 1.

10.    5√2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

9.    Area = 12k^2 + 4k - 5

Factoring:

12k^2 - 6k + 10k - 5

= 6k(2k - 1) + 5(2k - 1)

= (6k + 5)(2k - 1)

So the required lengths are 6k + 5 and 2k - 1.

10.  The ratio of a leg to the hypotenuse is  1: √2 so if the hypotenus = 10 the length of a leg is 10 / √2  

= 10 √2  / 2

= 5√2 .
