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.

lord [1]

Answer:

50 + 1 + $\frac{2}{10}$ + $\frac{4}{100}$ + $\frac{2}{1,000}$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) 50 and 1 equal to 51

2) The fraction forms of a decimal number is: the decimal number/the decimal number place value

3) Therefore, the answer is 50 + 1 + $\frac{2}{10}$ + $\frac{4}{100}$ + $\frac{2}{1,000}$

Hope this helps!

If CDE ~ GDF, find ED

qaws [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle CDE \sim \triangle GDF.. (given) \\\\\therefore \frac{CD}{GD} =\frac{DE}{DF}.. (csst) \\\\\therefore \frac{15}{x+3} =\frac{3x+1}{4}\\\\ \therefore \: 15 \times 4 = (x + 3)(3x + 1) \\ \\ \therefore \: 60 = 3 {x}^{2} + x + 9x + 3 \\ \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 10x + 3 - 60 = 0 \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 10x - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 19x - 9x - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore \: x(3x + 19) - 3(3x + 19) = 0 \\\therefore \: (3x + 19)(x - 3) = 0 \\ \therefore \: 3x + 19 = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 3 = 0 \\ \therefore \: x = - \frac{19}{3} \: \: or \: \: x = 3 \\ \because \: x \: can \: not \: be \: - ve \\ \therefore \: x = 3 \\ ED = 3x + 1 = 3 \times 3 + 1 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ ED= 10}}$

The sum of the squares of two consecutive negative integers is 61. Find the smaller of the two integers

Marysya12 [62]

$x^2+(x+1)^2=61\\ x^2+x^2+2x+1-61=0\\ 2x^2+2x-60=0\ \ /:2\\ x^2+x-30=0\\ \Delta=1^2-4\cdot(-40)=1+120=121\ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \sqrt{\Delta} =11\\ \\ x_1= \frac{-1-11}{2} = \frac{-12}{2} =-6,\ \ \ \ x_2= \frac{-1+11}{2} = \frac{10}{2}=5\\ \\Ans.:x=-6$
