If Alex is 14 years old, and Ben is 17 years old, in how many years will the sum of their ages be 169 years?

Mathematics

Citrus2011 [14]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

69 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of Alex's and Ben's current age

= 14 +17

= 31 years

For every year, Alex and Ben will each be one year older. Thus, 2 years would be added to the sum of their ages with each passing year.

Difference in the sum of their ages

= 169 -31

= 138 years

Number of sets of 2 years

= 138 ÷2

= 69

Thus, the sum of their ages will be 169 in 69 years.

8.7/2=q/4 what is Q and give me work plez
ZanzabumX [31]
8.7/2=q/4
multiply both sides by 4: q=8.7/2*4
multiply both sides by 2: 2q=8.7 times 4
refine the equation: 2q=34.8
multiply both sides by 10: 20q=348
Divide both sides by 20: 20q/20=348/20
refine the equation for the final answer: q=87/5

The two triangles are similar, What is the length of DE?
horsena [70]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

This is easy. All you need to do is set up a <u><em>proportional relationship</em></u>.

A proportional relationship uses variables to show similarities, in this case, in triangles.

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{x}{6.3}\\\\3x = 12.6\\\\x = 4.2

<u><em>x</em></u> represents the missing side.

A basketball player scored 29 points in a game. The number of three-point field goals the player made was 29 less than three tim
jek_recluse [69]
If you let x represent the number of free throws.         
let y represent the number of two-point field goal.         
let z represent the number of three-point shots made.

Then the correct system of linear equations is as follows: 

x + 2y + 3z = 29 (The total number of points scored is 29.)
z = 3x - 29 (The number of 3-pointers was 29 less than 3 times the number of free throws.)
2y = z + 15 (Twice the number of 2-point shots made was 15 more than the number of 3-pointers.) 

Solution:
This basketball player scored 10 points via free throws (10 at 1 point each), 16 points via 8 two-point shots made, and 3 points via 1 three-point shots made. So, in the choice its letter D.
