Answer: 10, 11, & 12
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the age of the youngest child.
Their ages are consecutive so,
Youngest: x
Middle: x + 1
Oldest: x + 2
The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.
x² = 8(x + 2) + 4
x² = 8x + 16 + 4
x² = 8x + 20
x² - 8x - 20 = 0
(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0
x - 10 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
x = 10 or x = -2
Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid
So, the Youngest (x) is 10
the Middle (x + 1) is 11
and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12
The answer is Option B , the solution is 3
There's no diagram, so I made my own.
But I can't prove AD = 2*AB
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the following equations, we need to isolate the variable asked using inverse operations to solve equations.
Remember that addition and subtraction are inverse operations, as multiplication and division.
Therefore,
Answer:
(3,6)
Step-by-step explanation:
If the starting point is the dot then we start from there - (4,4) then we go up 2 units at (4,6) then moving one unit to the left our answer is (3,6).
