10 pints = 5 quarts
4 pints = 2 quarts
6 pints = 3 quarts
2 pints = 1 quart
The Bold numbers are the ones you need to fill in.
Hope that helps :D
Let the youngest sister be n years
Lana will be 2n years, as her youngest sister is half her age
The age of the twins separately will be 2n-2 as they are 2 years younger than Lana
So, the equation looks like this:
n + 2n + 2(2n-2) = 45
Now solve for n:
3n + 4n - 4 = 45
7n - 4 = 45
7n = 49
n = 7
So the youngest sister is 7, Lana is 14 and the twins are 12. 14 + 12 + 12 + 7 =45
Answer:
2-sqrt14/2, 2+sqrt13/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
What you do is you have to do the quadratic equation like it says in the problem.
x= −b± sqrtb^2 −4ac
/2a
.
a=-2, b=4, c=5.
x=-4±sqrt(4)^2-4(-2)(5)/2(-2).
x=-4±sqrt16+40/-4.
x=-4±2sqrt14/-2.
2-sqrt14/2, 2+sqrt13/2. is your answer once you have done everything.
