Answer:

Robert is 17 years old

Kent is 13 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, let's say that Robert is X years old, and Kent is X - 5 Years old, since he is 5 years younger. Since their ages together add up 39 years old, set these values next to one another.

x + x + 5 = 39

Add Like Terms

2x + 5 = 39

Cancel out the 5

2x = 34

Divide by 2

x = 17

With this, x is 17. This means that Robert is 17 years old since his age was x. With Kent he is 13 years old since 17 - 5 = 13.

Ashton needs $120 but has only saved 60% so far. How much more money does he need
Kamila [148]

Hello there! Ashton needs 48 more dollars.

Well, to start, you want to find 60% of 120. To do this, you first have to convert 60% into a decimal by dividing it by 100.

60/100 = 0.6

Next, multiply 0.6 by your total needed, 120, to finish finding 60% of 120.

120 x 0.6 = 72.

So he already has 72 dollars, but how many more does he need? You can find this by subtracting 72 from 120.

120 - 72 = 48.

So, this means he needs 48 more dollars. I hope this helps and have a great rest of your day! Please let me know if you need further help with this question. :)

I need help with #7 ?!!! <br> Btw #6 is correct
Musya8 [376]

Choice C for problem 6 is correct. The two angles (65 and 25) add to 90 degrees, proving they are complementary angles.

===========================================

The answer to problem 7 is also choice C and here's why

To find the midpoint, we add up the x coordinates and divide by 2. The two points A(-5,3) and B(3,3) have x coordinates of -5 and 3 respectively. They add to -5+3 = -2 which cuts in half to get -1. This means C has to be the answer as it's the only choice with x = -1 as an x coordinate.

Let's keep going to find the y coordinate of the midpoint. The points A(-5,3) and B(3,3) have y coordinates of y = 3 and y = 3, they add to 3+3 = 6 which cuts in half to get 3. The midpoint has the same y coordinate as the other two points

So that is why the midpoint is (-1,3)
