Oldest = 2x
Middle = x + 5
Youngest = x
2x + x + 5 + x = 57
combine like terms
4x + 5 = 57
subtract 5 from both sides
4x = 52
divide both sides by 4 to isolate x
x = 13
Oldest = 2x = 2(13) = 26
Middle = x + 5 = 13 + 5 = 18
Youngest = x = 13
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If A is in between Y and Z, then;
YA+AZ = YZ
Given.
YA = 14x,
AZ = 10x and
YZ = 12x + 48
Substitute into the formula
14x+10x = 12x+48
Find x;
24x = 12x+48
24x-12x = 48
12x = 48
x = 48/12
x = 4
Get AZ
AZ = 10x
AZ =10(4)
AZ = 40
Answer:
tan T = 3/4
tan U = 4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The tangent ratio is opposite / adjacent. The ratio will vary for each angle since the perspective of each angle will be different. For example Angle T has an adjacent side of 4 while Angle U has an adjacent side of 3. The tangent ratios for Angles U and T are listed below:
tan T = 3/4
tan U = 4/3
