Carlos, Julio and Ricky were born in consecutive years Carlos was the oldest of the three and Ricky was the youngest. In 1990, after their birthday, the sum of their ages was 129. In what years were they born?

Carlos born in 1944

Julio born in 1945

Ricky born in 1946

Step-by-step explanation:

x = Carlos age

x+1 = Julio age

x+2 = Ricky age

x + x+1 + x+2 = 129

3x + 3 = 129

3x = 126

x = 42 (Carlos age)

x+1 = 43 (Julio age)

x+2 = 44 (Ricky age)

1990 - 42 = 1944 (year Carlos born)

1990 - 43 = 1945 (year Julio born)

1990 - 44 = 1946 (year Ricky born)

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
