Ten years from now, Clary will be twice as old as her sister Rose. However, five years ago, Clary was seven times as old as her sister. How old are they now?

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

the answer would be c

answer

a) the midrange of the data set shown is 85.5

step by step explanation

let's find the midrange.

the midrange is nothing but add the greatest value and the least value, then divide it by 2.

here the greatest value = 99

the least value = 72

midrange = (99 + 72)/2

= 171/2

midrange = 85.5

you.

the answer to this is:

factor 2x2+16x+24

2x2+16x+24

=2(x+2)(x+6)

answer:

2(x+2)(x+6)
