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.

So basically you are going to line up your equations (already done). Next, you will just add each term. So x + 3x = 4x, then 2y - 2y = 0 (we wouldn't put anything) then 7 - 3 = 4
So then we have all of our terms figured out and will have 4x = 4 then divide 4x by 4 to get x alone and then you will also divide the four that is by itself by four to equal one. So, your answer is x = 1. I hope that helps!

Help! locus points!
Liula [17]

Answer:

  1. Circle X with radius 2 cm.
  2. Either of two lines parallel to AB.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The definition of a circle is all the points in a plane that are at some radius r from a given point (the circle center). That is what you have, with a radius of 2 cm.

__

2. Parallel lines are the same distance apart everywhere. Each line will have two parallel lines at some given distance from it, one on each side. Here, the separation distance from AB is 1 cm, so your locus of points is the two lines parallel AB that are 1 cm from it on either side.
