P=pete's age now
c=claire's age now

2 year ago pete was 3times as old as his cousin clarie
p-2=3 times (c-2)

also the ratio is 1:3

2 years before that, pete was 4 times as old as claire
p-4=4 times (c-4)

so solve

p-2=3(c-2)
p-4=4(c-4)
distribute
p-2=3c-6
p-4=4c-16

p-2=3c-6
add 2 to both sides
p=3c-4

p-4=4c-16
add 4 to both sides
p=4c-12

so nowe we have
p=3c-4 and p=4c-12
therefor they are equal
3c-4=p=4c-12
3c-4=4c-12
add 12 to both sides
3c+8=4c
subtract 3c from both sides
8=c

subsitute
p-2=3(c-2)
p-2=3(8-2)
p-2=3(6)
p-2=18
addd 2
p=20

so right now, pete is 20 and claire is 8
so we solve by doing
20+what to 8+what=22 to 11
make fraction
and replace what with x
\frac{20+x}{8+x}= \frac{22}{11}
sipmlify 22/11 into 2/1
multiply both sides by 8+x
20+x=\frac{(2)(8+x)}{1}
20+x=2(8+x)
distribute
20+x=16+2x
subtract 16 from both sides
4+x=2x
subtract x from both sides
4=x
the answer is in 4 years

test
20+4=24
8+4=12
24/12=22/11?
2/1=2/1
true

the answer is in 4 years

What are the possible values of x in 8x2 + 4x = -1?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The possible values of x are:

x= \frac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{4} \,\,or\,\, x= 0.18

and

x= \frac{-1-\sqrt{3}}{4} \,\, or \,\, x= -0.68

Step-by-step explanation:

8x^2+4x+1=0

Using Quadratic formula to solve this equation:

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\a = 8 \,\, b = 4\,\, c = -1\\Putting \,\, values \,\, in \,\, the\,\, equation\\x= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{(4)^2-4(8)(-1)}}{2(8)}\\x= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+32}}{16}\\x= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{48}}{16}\\x= \frac{-4+ \sqrt{48}}{16} \,\, and \,\, x= \frac{-4- \sqrt{48}}{16}\\x= \frac{-1+ \sqrt{3}}{4} \,\, and \,\, x= \frac{-1- \sqrt{3}}{4}

The possible values of x are:

x= \frac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{4} \,\,or\,\, x= 0.18

and

x= \frac{-1-\sqrt{3}}{4} \,\, or \,\, x= -0.68

Please help me solve these problems
vovangra [49]

Will do first question of each concept only because the rest of the questions are the same concept (the same few repeat but whatever).

1. <em>Total angle = (n - 2) * 180 --> 4 * 180 = 360°</em>

<em>70 + 130 + 120 + θ = 360</em> --> 320 + θ = 360 --> θ = 40

4. Total angle =<em> (10 - 2) * 180</em> --> 8 * 180 = <em>1440</em>

<em>1440/10</em> = 144°

6. Interior: (n - 2) * 180 --> 10 * 180 = 1800

Exterior: 12 * 180 = 2160 --> 2160 - 1800 = 360

9. (n - 2) * 180 --> 3 * 180 = 540

90 + 90 + 150 + 160 + θ = 540 --> 490 + θ = 540 --> θ = 50

13. Interior: (n - 2) * 180 --> 2 * 180 = 360

Exterior: n * 180 - (n - 2) * 180 --> 180n - 180n + 360 --> 360 (always the same)

16. 7r + 4r + 8r + 5r = 360 --> 24r = 360 --> r = 15
