There is a competition in the cinema to win free tickets. You must guess the ages of the four employees. Here are the clues: - W

hen you add up all the ages, the total is 106; Kirk is twice the age difference of "manager" and 10; Brian is 12 years younger than twice the manager's age; Matt is 6 years older than half the manager's age. (the "manager" is like the boss or manager). What are all the ages of the four employees? Make four "Let" phrases, one for each employee (including the manager) *

Answer:

Kirk is <u>28</u> years old, Brian is <u>36</u> years old, Matt is <u>18</u> years old, and the manager is <u>24</u> years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k be Kirk's age.

Let b be Brian's age.

Let m be Matt's age.

Let m_{1} be the boss/manager's age.

From the information given, we can set up 4 equations:

k+b+m+m_{1}=106

k=2(m_{1}-10)

b=2m_{1}-12

m=\frac{1}{2}m_{1}+6

Rewrite the first equation, substituting k, b, and m in terms of m_{1} to get:

2(m_{1}-10)+(2m_{1}-12)+(\frac{1}{2}m_{1}+6)+m_{1}=106

Open up the parentheses using the distributive property (which is a(b-c)=ab-ac) and combine like terms to get:

5.5m_{1}-26=106

Add 26 to both sides to reach:

5.5m_{1}=132

Thus, m_{1}=24. Substitute 24 for m_{1} in the second, third, and fourth original equations to find that k=28, b=36, and m=18. Therefore, Kirk is <u>28</u> years old, Brian is <u>36</u> years old, Matt is <u>18</u> years old, and the manager is <u>24</u> years old. To check, you can add up all of the ages to get 106.

Hope this helps :)

If triangle abc is similar to triangle edc find the value of x
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{BC}{DC} = \frac{AC}{EC} , substitute values

\frac{3x-5}{32} = \frac{5x-5}{56} ( cross- multiply )

56(3x - 5) = 32(5x - 5) ← distribute and simplify both sides

168x - 280 = 160x - 160 ( subtract 160x from both sides )

8x - 280 = - 160 ( add 280 to both sides )

8x = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 15
