Answer:

Answer

Tony:48

Gordan :64

Step-by-step explanation:

\begin{array}{c|c|c}Age&Gordon&Tony\\------------------&-------&-------\\now&g&t\\when\ gordan\ was\ as\ old\ as\ tony\ is\ now&t(=g-g+t)&t-g+t=2t-g\\\end{array}\\\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}g&=&2*(2t-g)\\g+t&=&112\\\end {array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3g&=&4t\\g+t&=&112\\\end {array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}g&=&\dfrac{4}{3}\\\dfrac{7}{3} t&=&112\\\end {array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}t&=&48\\g&=&64\\\end {array}\right.\\

Proof:

16 years ago, Gordan was 48 and Tony 32.

64=2*32

64+48=112

A polygon has an area of 225 square meters. If the area is tripled, how does each side length change?
krok68 [10]
Let me tell you the process so that you get to the answer
Remember first that the area of a regular polygon with x sides has  each of them a length which can be represented by y 

<span>A = 1/4 * xy^2 * Cot(180/x) </span>
<span>The purpose is to solve for y, so we get </span>
<span>y^2 = 4A/(xCot(180/x)) </span>
<span>y = √(4A/(xCot(180/x)))

The thing we need to change is A in the previous formula and with that we can use the equaation to be a constant. This could be represented by Z
</span><span>Z = √(4/(xCot(180/x)))
so
</span><span>Y = Z√A 
</span><span>If we increase area by a factor s, y increases by a factor of √x.
</span>So if you want to know the triple then you need to increase it by <span> √3 </span> <span>  </span>

André solves the following system of equations by elimination.
Vaselesa [24]
Although the question is incomplete, I have seen it before.

The equations are:
3a + 6b = 12
-3a + 6b = -12

Adding the equations, we get:

12b = 0
And b = 0

Please help!!<br>solve for x
timurjin [86]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

These both angles are vertically opposite angles. And, vertically opposite angles are equal. So,

→ 5x ― 6 = 3x + 2

→ 5x ― 3x = 2 + 6

→ 2x = 8

→ x = 8/2

→ x = 4

<u>Therefore</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>4</u><u>.</u>
