kim is 10 years older than laura. laura is twice as old as melissa. if melissa will be 1o years old in 5 years, how old is kim now

Kim is 20 years old now.

Mellisa - 10-5 = 5

laura= 5x2 = 10

kim= 10+10 = 20

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
