Answer:

Sister = 15 years old

Brother = 12 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Right now, if the brother is B years old and the sister is S years old, B = (4/5)S because the ratio from brother to sister is 4:5, so if one unit is X, B = 4X and S = 5X

Three years ago, the brother was B-3 years old and the sister was S-3 years old. Keeping one unit as X, we have

B = 3X

S = 4X

B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)

Therefore, we have a system of equations

B = (4/5)S

B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)

Substitute (4/5)S for B into the second equation to only have one variable

(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)(S-3)

(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)S - 9/4

add 3 to both sides and subtract (3/4)S from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient

(1/20)S = 3/4

multiply both sides by 20 to isolate the S

S = 15

B = (4/5)S = 12

For which value of x must the expression square root of 19x be further simplified? A. 15. B 21. C 28. D 41
algol [13]
<span>The expression of the square root of 19x must be simplified when x is equal to 28. This is because possible factors of 28 can be seen to be 4 and 7, and 4 is a perfect square. This means it can be pulled outside of the square root when evaluated. The other options include only prime factors that could not be pulled out. (3,5), (3,7), (1,41)
   28 simplifies as such:
 Sqrt(19*28) = Sqrt(19*4*7) = 2*Sqrt(19*7) = 2*Sqrt(133).</span>

Pre calculus law of sines
lakkis [162]

Answer:

AB = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 59°

AC = 7

CD = 6

AB = ?

Apply the Law of Cosines, which is AB² = AC² + CD² - 2(AC)(CD)*Cos(C)

AB² = 7² + 6² - 2(7)(6)*Cos(59)

AB² = 85 - 43.26

AB² = 41.74

AB = √41.74

AB = 6.5 (nearest tenth)
