**PLEASE HELP** Juan is three times as old as Gabe and Gabe is six years older than Catherine. If the sum of their ages is 149, how old is each person?

Above,please mark as brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

Catherine:x

Gabe:x+6

Juan:3(x+6)=3x+18

(3x+18)+(x+6)+x=149

5x+24=149

5x=125

x=25

Catherine:25

Gabe:31

Juan:93

Check:93+25+31=149

-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
