Answer:

Betty is 27. Her son is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use b to represent Betty's age. We will use s to represent her son's age.

This year:

b = 3s

In 12 years' time:

b + 12 = 2(s + 12) - 3

b + 12 = 2s + 24 - 3

b + 12 = 2s + 21

b = 2s + 9

We know that b = 3s, so we can substitute this value into our equation.

3s = 2s + 9

s = 9

b = 3 x 9

b = 27

Answer:

k = 1.75

What ia the angle of AOC and DOE
natulia [17]

(i) Angle AOC would equal 48°, as it is vertically opposite to angle DOB and they are therefore equal.


(ii) Angle DOE would equal 42°. We can see this because angles on a straight line add up to 180°, and 90 + 48 = 138, so we can do 180 - 138 = 42°.


I hope this helps!
