What are the values of x in the equation x(x-6)=4(x+6)

1 answer:

7 0

<span>x(x-6) = x^2 - 6x 4(x+6) = 4x + 24 First we need to eliminate the bracket by multiplying the numbers and variables from outside the bracket with the inside, we weill get : X^2 - 6x = 4x + 24 (subtract 4x and 24 from both sides) x^2 - 10x - 24 = 0 (x+2) (x-12) = 0 x+2 = 0 x-12 = 0 The value of X would be : x = -2 x = 12 </span>

The ratio of Rogers age to his sons is 7:3. If the sum of their ages are 60 how old is Rogers son

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:24

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of their ages is 60 yr. As such

7x + 3x = 60

10x = 60

x = 60 / 10

x = 6

The rationale is 6, therefore

Father's age is 7x = 7 × 6= 42 years

Son's age is 3x = 3 × 6 = 18 years

Difference in their ages

42 - 18 = 24 years
