Uncle Jason is twice as old as his nephew Ralph, and 10 years ago he was three times as old as Ralph. Find their present ages.
cluponka [151]

Answer:

40 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Uncle Jason's age = x
  • Nephew Ralph age = y
<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>Age now:</u>

  • x= 2y

<u>Age 10 years ago: </u>

  • x- 10 = 3(y-10)

<u>Substituting x in the second equation:</u>

  • 2y - 10 = 3y - 30
  • 3y - 2y = 30 -10
  • y = 20

<u>Then, finding x:</u>

  • x= 2y
  • x= 2*20
  • x= 40

<u>Answer:</u> Uncle Jason is 40 and nephew Ralph is 20 years old

Describe the solution of the equation x^2+7x+2=0
yarga [219]
This is a quadratic equation with a general equation of ax^2 + bx + c.
The quadratic formula can help to get the roots of the equation. We know the highest degree of that equation is 2; so there will be also two roots.
The quadratic formula is
x = [-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a

With a = 1, b = 7, c = 2,
x = {-7 ± √[(7)^2 - 4(1)(2)]} / 2(1) = (-7 ± √41) / 2

So the two roots are
x1 = (-7 + √41) / 2 = -0.2984
x2 = (-7 - √41) / 2 = 0.2984

This is also another way of factorizing the equation
(x + 0.2984)(x + 0.2984) = x^2 + 7x + 2
