The mum's age now = N
The daughter's age now = n
N=3n
N-6=6(n-6)
3n-6=6n-36
3n=30
n=10
The daughter's age now = 10
The mum's age now = 30

I really don’t understand this and just need an explanation of how to do it.

\cfrac{2n}{-3n\cdot -2n^2}\implies \cfrac{1}{-3n}\cdot \cfrac{2n}{-2n^2}\implies \cfrac{1}{-3n}\cdot \cfrac{2n}{2n\cdot -n}\implies \cfrac{1}{-3n}\cdot \cfrac{2n}{2n}\cdot \cfrac{1}{-n}$

$\bf \cfrac{1}{-3n}\cdot \boxed{1}\cdot \cfrac{1}{-n}\implies \cfrac{1}{-3n\cdot -n}\implies \cfrac{1}{3n^2}

\left( \cfrac{2n}{-3n\cdot -2n^2} \right)^4\implies \left( \cfrac{1}{3n^2} \right)^4\implies \stackrel{\textit{distributing the exponent}}{\cfrac{1^4}{3^4n^{2\cdot 4}}}\implies \cfrac{1}{81n^8}$

Alan made a small four sided table for his office .Two sides of the table are 27 inches long and 36 inches long .If the diagonal

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

does NOT have right angles at the corners

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given that the sides of a table are 27" and 36" long.

If we assume the table to be rectangular, then by Pythagorean formula, we can find the diagonal and compare it to the 40" that we are given.

(refer to attached)

diagonal² = 27² + 36²

diagonal² = 27² + 36²

diagonal² = 2025

diagonal = √2025

diagonal = 45 inches

because the diagonal that we found is not the same as the 40" that was given, we can conclude that the table is not a rectangle (i.e does not have right angles at the corners)
