Mr. Anders was three times as old as Kate 5 years ago. Their total age now is 42 years. How old is Kate now?

1 answer:

6 0

We can write this as two equations. Call Mr. Anders' age A and Kate's age K:
$A-5=3(K-5)$
$A+K=42$

Then solve for A in the second equation:
$A=42-K$

Substitute this into the first equation:
$(42-K)-5=3(K-5)$
$-K+37=3K-15$
$52=4K$
$K=13$

What is the length of LINE GH? And please explain why thank you:

lesya692 [45]

co-ordinates of point G are (1,2)

co-ordinates of point H are (3,-3)

so, by distance formula :

$\sqrt{( {x1 - x1})^{2} + ( {y1 - y2})^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{( {1- 3})^{2} + ( {2 - ( - 3)})^{2} } \\ \sqrt{( { - 2})^{2} + ( {2 + 3})^{2} } \\ \sqrt{( { - 2})^{2} + ( {5})^{2} } \\ \sqrt{4 + 25} \\ \sqrt{29}$

so, it is root(29) or 5.38 units
