Kevin is 3 times as old as Daniel. 4 years ago, Kevin was 5 times as old as Daniel.

1 answer:

8 0

X is Kevin; Y is Dan

X = 3Y

X - 4 = 5(Y - 4)

3Y - 4 = 5(Y - 4)
3Y - 4 = 5Y - 20
   + 4 +4
4 cancels each other out.
3Y = 5Y - 16
   - 5 -5
5 cancels each other out.
-2Y = -16
/2 /2
   Y = 8

X = 3Y;
X = 3 x 8;

Thus,
X = 24;
Kevin(x) is 24

Factor each completely. 10a² - 9a + 2

Sophie [7]

Answer:

a= $\frac{2}{5}$ or $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equate the equation to zero

$10a^{2}$ -9a+2=0

$10a^{2}$ -5a-4a+2=0

5a(2a-1)-2(2a-1)=0

Write out the factors

(5a-2)(2a-1)=0

Then equate each factor to zero

5a-2=0 OR 2a-1=0

5a=2 OR 2a=1

a= $\frac{2}{5}$ OR a= $\frac{1}{2}$

a= $\frac{2}{5}$ or $\frac{1}{2}$
