Answer:

  • (x +12) = 3((x -34) +12)
  • x = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

The given age ratio is valid 12 years after the age at which Arnold was x years old. When Arnold was x, Ken was x-34.

  (x +12) = 3((x -34) +12) . . . . . the age relation in 2013

__

Solving for x, we have ...

  x +12 = 3x -102 +36

  78 = 2x . . . . . . . add 66-x

  39 = x

In 2001, Arnold was 39 years old.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

In 2001, Arnold was 39 and Ken was 5. Ken is 34 years younger.

In 2013, Arnold was 51 and Ken was 17. Arnold was 3 times Ken's age.

Answer:

x = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

x/3 = x-36

x= 3x-36.3

2x= 36.3

x = 18.3

x = 54

If triangle ABC is similar to triangle EHG, find the measure of angle EHG.
Ksju [112]

<u>First we need to find all the interior angles.  So we know that the inside of a triangle (all the angles added up) equals 180. So we need to equal all the inside angles to 180. </u>

2x + x + 60 = 180

<u>Now lets start to solve. First let's subtract the 60 from both sides. </u>

2x + x = 120

<u>Now we need to add the x's together. </u>

3x = 120

<u>Now we must divide the 120 by 3 to get x by itself. </u>

x = 40

<u>Now just replace the x with 40 to find each of the sides. I'm guessing the triangles are reflecting each other so </u><em><u><EHG would be equal to 80. </u></em>

<u>ALSO to check if 40 would be correct, add all the angles together in the same triangle and they SHOULD add up to be 180! Which they do! </u>

choli [55]

Answer:

Apple

Orange

Step-by-step explanation:

Apple has the greater median with a median value of 150 which is more than that of orange at 130

The sample with the greater variability is the orange sample as the interquartile range value of 11 is greater Than 8 for Apple.

Yes it is possible, because of the greater variation on weight shown by the sample of oranges, then it could be possible.
