The answer is 37 years old.

I = -425x² + 45500x -650000
I = 450000

-425x² + 45500x -650000 = 450000
-425x² + 45500x - 650000 - 450000 = 0
-425x² + 45500x - 1100000 = 0

Divide all factors by 25:
- 17x² + 1820x - 44000 = 0

This is quadratic equation (ax² + bx + c = 0)
x_{1,2} = \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} = \frac{-1820+/- \sqrt{ 1820^{2}-4*(-17)*(-44000) } }{2*(-17)} = \\  \\ = \frac{-1820+/- \sqrt{3312400-2992000 } }{-34} = \frac{-1820+/- \sqrt{320400} }{-34} =\frac{-1820+/- 566}{-34}  \\  \\ 
x_1= \frac{-1820+ 566}{-34}= -37 \\  \\ 
x_2 = \frac{-1820- 566}{-34}=70

Since, the youngest age is needed, the correct answer is x = 37

Answer:

System of Equations

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of equations refers to a number of equations with an equal number of variables. We will only look at the case of two linear equations in two unknowns. The bracket on the left indicates that the two equations are intended to be solved simultaneously, but it is not always used.

Dora has 10 seashells and plans to add 2 shells every week. Jerri has 4 seashells and plans to add 5 shells every week. Which sy
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Let x represents the week and y represents the seashells

As per the statement:

Dora has 10 seashells and plans to add 2 shells every week.

"2 shells every week" means 2x

⇒y = 10 + 2x

It is also given, Jerri has 4 seashells and plans to add 5 shells every week.

"5 shells every week" means 2x

⇒ y = 4 + 5x

The system of equation would be used:

y = 10 + 2x

y = 4 + 5x

Since, the girls have the same number of seashells

⇒10 + 2x = 4 + 5x

Subtract 4 from both sides we get;

6 + 2x = 5x

Subtract 2x from both sides we get;

6= 3x

Divide by 3 both sides we have;

x = 2 weeks.

Therefore, the number of weeks would it be before the girls have the same number if seashells is, 2 weeks.

Phil had 93 dollars, and his sister owed 10 dollars to her friend. How much should Phil give to his sister for each of them to h
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

$51.50

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let the amount that Phil give to her sister be  x</em>

<em><u>After Phil's sister pays her debt of 10, Phil and her sister should have EQUAL amount. </u></em>So we can write the equation as:

93-x=x-10

Now solving this for x, we have:

93-x=x-10\\93+10=x+x\\103=2x\\x=\frac{103}{2}=51.5

Hence, Phil must give $51.50 to her sister.
