Answer:

<u>The sum of their ages now is 13</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Dally's age = x

Dilly's age = x - 7

In 4 years time Dilly will be half Dally’s age, therefore:

Dilly's age plus four equals to half of Dally’s age plus four,

replacing with the values and variables we know:

x - 7 + 4 = (x + 4) /2

x - 3 = (x + 4) /2

2x - 6 = x + 4 (Multiplying by 2 at both sides)

2x - x = 4 + 6 (Like terms)

x = 10 ⇒ x - 7 = 3

<u>The sum of their ages now is 13 (10 + 3)</u>

4(k-2) when it says 2 less than it means you are subtracting from the constant and 4 times means you are multiplying the whole equation with 4.

Triangles A B C and X Y Z are shown. Which would prove that ΔABC ~ ΔXYZ? Select two options. StartFraction B A Over Y X = StartF
sergejj [24]

Answer: Answer is 3

BC        6

------ = ------

XY         3

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements below can be used to prove that the triangles are similar.

On a coordinate plane, right triangles A B C and X Y Z are shown. Y Z is 3 units long and B C is 6 units long.  

A B Over X Y = 4 Over 2

?  

A C Over X Z = 52 Over 13  

△ABC ~ △XYZ by the SSS similarity theorem.

Which mathematical statement is missing?

1.   Y Z Over B C = 6 Over 3  

2.  ∠B ≅ ∠Y

3.  B C Over Y Z = 6 Over 3  

4.  ∠B ≅ ∠Z
