The number of years past when Alan was twice Vanessa's age is 14 years.

Current ages :

  • Alan = 30 years
  • Vanessa = 22 years

<u>We can set up an equation where, x = number of years when Alan was 2 times Vanessa's age thus</u> :

30 - x = 2(22 - x)

30 - x = 44 - 2x

Collect like terms

-x + 2x = 44 - 30

x = 14

Therefore, 14 years ago, Alan's age was twice Vanessa's age.

Alan's age was twice Vanessa's age 14 years ago.

Let's represent v , as the number of years, Alan was twice as old as Vanessa

Their Current ages were given as:

Alan = 30 years

Vanessa = 22 years

Our system of equation is given as:

30 - v = 2(22 - v)

30 - v = 44 - 2v

Collect like terms

2v - v = 44 - 30

v = 14

Therefore,  Alan's age was twice Vanessa's age 14 years ago.

Hi Can you please help me
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

x = 68°

Explanation:

  • given ∠CBE = 22°
  • ∠ABD is parallel to ∠CBE, thus has same angle of 22°
  • ∠ADB is right angle and thus has 90° angle.
  • total sum of interior angles in triangle is 180°

We can find x by:

x + 90° + 22° = 180°

x + 112° = 180°

x = 180°- 112°

x = 68°
