Using equations to solve the word problem, Katherine's age is 8 years

<h3>Word Problem</h3>

Word problem are often mathematical problem that are represented in words and sometimes can be solved using an equation.

To solve this problem, we have to represent the problem using mathematical equations;

Let;

Katherine's age = x²

Alexandra = 5(x + 1)

Sum of their age = 109

5(x + 1) + x² = 109

5x + 5 + x² = 109

x² + 5x - 104 = 0

Solving for the equation; x = 8

Katherine's age is 8

Can somebody help me with this?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

By looking through figure, l and m are parallel lines and a transversal line passes through the lines.

Now,

7x + 12° = 12x - 28°( alternate angles are equal)

12°+28° = 12x - 7x

40° = 5x

x =  \frac{40}{5}

Therefore, x = 8°

Now,

12x - 28° + 9y - 77 = 180° ( being linear pair)

12×8° - 28° + 9y -77° = 180°

96° - 28° + 9y - 77° = 180°

-9 + 9y = 180°

9y = 180° + 9°

y = 189°/9

Therefore, y = 21°

<u>There</u><u>fore</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>X </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>8</u><u>°</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>y</u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>1</u><u>°</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

Castel and Kali are selling wrapping paper for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy rolls of plain wrapping paper and rolls of
True [87]

Answer:

Plain is $7 and Holiday is $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Castel: 2p + 5h = 89

Kali: 9p + 10h = 213

Double Castel's: 4p + 10h = 178

Subtract fro Kali's   9p + 10h = 213

                              - 4p + 10h = 178

5p = 35

p = 7  Plain is $7

Substitute 7 into one of the equations and solve for h:

2(7) + 5h = 89

14 + 5h = 89

5h = 75

h = 15  Holiday is $15
