Gus has skydived four more times than niko emma has skydive twice as many times as nico if emma has skydived 16 times, how many times has gus skydived?

Gus skydived 32 times

Step-by-step explanation:

G = number of times that Gus skydives

N = number of times that Nico skydives

E= number of times that Emma skydives

Gus skydives 4 times as much as Nick

This means G = 4N

Emma skydives 2 times as much as Nick.

This means E= 2N

If Emma has skydived 16 times,

That means E = 16

Put E = 16 in E= 2N,

16 =2N

N= 16/2 = 8

Put N= 8 in G = 4N

G =4×8 = 32

Gus skydived 32 times

Check

Nick skydived 8 times

Emma skydived 16 times

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
