found that Mr Han is 36 years older than her. 7 years later, Mr Han will be 3 times as old as her. How old is Mr Han now?

I think Mr. Han is around the 60 or 70 age.

I am really sorry that I couldn't answer this problem.  Try starting with 21 and multiply that by 3.  To check if you can do it, add 43 to the number you multiply 3 with.  Again, i am really sorry that i only wrote a hint.  Good luck finding the answer!

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180. The sum of the measures of the second and third angles is five times
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

x=30\\y=68\\z=82

Step-by-step explanation:

x = measure of the first angle

y = measure of the second angle

z = measure of the third angle

The sum of the measures of the second and third (y+z) is five times the measure of the first angle (=5x)

y+z=5x

The third angle is 14 more than the second

z=y+14

And remember that the sum of these three angles must be equal to 180.

x+y+z=180

Let's take these equations

y+z=5x\\z=y+14\\x+y+z=180

If you take a look at the first equation, we have y+z = 5x and we have y+z in the third equation as well, we can replace that....

x+y+z=180\\x+(y+z)=180\\x+(5x)=180

Distribute the + sign

x+5x=180

Combine like terms;

6x=180

Divide by 6.

x=\frac{180}{6}\\ x=30

We have now defined that the measure of the first angle is 30º.

Let's take another equation... for example z=y+14

I'm going to take this one because if I replace x and z in the third equation, all I'll have left will be y.

x+y+z=180\\30+y+(y+14)=180

Distribute the + sign and Combine like terms;

30+y+y+14=180\\44+2y=180\\

Subtract 44 to isolate 2y.

2y=180-44\\2y=136

Now divide by 2.

y=\frac{136}{2}\\ y=68

We already have the value of x and y. Once again, replacing this in the third equation will leave us with z to solve for.

x+y+z=180\\30+68+z=180\\98+z=180\\z=180-98\\z=82

About how many more inches of rain did Asheville get than Wichita? About how many more days did it rain in Asheville than Wichit
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Par 1) 19.10 inches

Part 2) 39 days

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Asheville

47.71 in

124 days

Wichita

28.61 in

85 days

Part 1) About how many more inches of rain did Asheville get than Wichita?

In this part subtract the number of inches of rain in Wichita from the number of inches of rain in Asheville

so

47.71-28.61=19.10\ in

Part 2) About how many more days did it rain in Asheville than Wichita?

n this part subtract the number of days of rain in Wichita from the number of days of rain in Asheville

so

124-85=39\ days
