x = 101°

Step-by-step explanation:

x and are same- side interior angles and sum to 180° , then

a + x = 180° , that is

79° + x = 180° ( subtract 79° from both sides )

x = 101°

Richard is 6 years older than Lisa, and in 5 years the sum of their ages will be twice as much as the sum of their ages 4 years

natta225 [31]

If we assume that Lisa is x years old, then Richard will be (x + 6)years
In 5 years time
Lisa = x +5 years
Richard = x +11 years
sum will be 2x + 16 years
4 years ago
Lisa = x-4 years
Richard = x + 2
Sum will be 2x - 2
Therefore;
2(2x-2) = 2x +16
4x -4 = 2x +16
2x = 20
x = 10
Thus, the present age of Lisa is 10 years and that of Richard is 16 years
