Let Bea = x
Therefore Andrew = x + 2
Chris = x - 3
Andrew * Chris = 66
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 66 Remove the brackets.
x^2 + 2x - 3x - 6 = 66
x^2 - x - 6 = 66 Subtract 66 from both sides.
x^2 - x - 72 = 0
(x - 9)(x + 8) = 0
Find the possible values of Bea's age
x - 9 = 0
x = 9 That value works. She can be plus 9 years old.
x + 8 = 0
x = - 8. There's no way she can be - 8 years old
So Bea is 9.
9 <<<<<< Answer
I think you would most likely add all of them well I think
First, distribute the negative sign and get -y + 7 = 14
then subtract 7 from both sides and get -y = 7
Divide both sides by -1 and get y = -7
Hope this helps :)
I believe you would need to divide 123.75 by 7.50.
The equation would look something like this:
7.50x=123.75
Where x = # of hours worked
123.75 / 7.50 = 16.5
so x = 16.5
You worked for 16.5 hours
Im going to assume that 3√ is √3
And √3 is irrational because You cant square root it without getting nuked with a Random Number generator of decimals.
