Papa john is 50 years old. his age is 2 years more than 3 times the age of jimmy john. how old is jimmy?

Step-by-step explanation:

J - the age of Jimmy John

50 - the age of Papa John

3J + 2 - the age of Papa John

The euaqtion:

3J + 2 = 50             subtract 2 from both sides

3J + 2 - 2 = 50 - 2

3J = 48          divide both sides by 3

3J/3 = 48/3

J = 16

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
