Answer:

suppose: the age of the man now is x

the sum of the ages of his two sons now is y

(x, y > 0, x, y € N)

so the age of the man 10 years ago is x - 10

the sum of the ages of his 2 sons ten years ago is

y - 20

because now, The age of a man is twice the sum of the ages of his two sons => x = 2y

because Ten years ago, his age was five times

the sum of their ages

=> x - 10 = 5( y - 20)

<=> x - 10 = 5y - 100

<=> 2x - 20 = 10y - 200

<=> 2x = 2y.5 - 180

but x = 2y => 2x = 5x - 180

<=> 3x = 180

<=> x = 60

=> his present age is 60

What are the measures of Angles a,b, and c? Show your work and explain your answers. Will marks best answer as Brainliest
Soloha48 [4]
Angle a is directly opposite from a 40 degree angle, so a=40. Then we can find b since the sum of the angles of all triangles is 180 and there is a right angle in there along with angle a:
180=90+40+b
b=50

Last, to find c we just notice that it is supplementary with an angle of measure 65, so:
c+65=180
c=115

So our angles are a=40, b=50, c=115.

If (x+2,5)=(3y+2)find x and y​
kozerog [31]

Answer:

X = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

because of you do 5+2 = 7 then you minus 3 which you get 4.

the. if you have a production of around 10 you will get 7.

or you can do.

3+2 which is 5 and then you multiply that by 2 which is 10 and then you comprised that number therefore you will get 6 but you have to find X so we youndelie (think that's how u spell it) X which will equal to 1 and 6+1 is 7. once you get it it's quite simple
