Answer:
Bola is 8 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Bola's age be x
Dada's age be y
Ayo's age be z
If the sum of ages of Bola, Dada and Ayo is 32 years, then;
x + y + z = 32
If they share a sum of money in ratio of their ages, then the ratio of their ages will be x : y : z
Also if Bola gets N400, Dada get-N400 and Ayo get N800, then the total amount of money shared will be expressed as:
T = 400 + 400 + 800
T = N1600
Next is to get the age of Bola
Substitute the required variables and values into the formula;
This shows that Bola is 8 years old
Answer:
x=-3 or x=3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following equation:
2x^2+5x-9=2x
We are asked to find the roots. That means just solve it for x.
2x^2+5x-9=2x
Subtract 2x on both sides:
2x^2+3x-9=0
Let's see if we can put this in factored form.
Compare
2x^2+3x-9=0
and
ax^2+bx+c=0.
a=2, b=3 , c=-9
We have to find two numbers that multiply to be ac and add up to be b.
ac=-18
b=3
What are two numbers that multiply to be -18 and add to be 3?
Say -3 and 6.
So we are going to factor 2x^2-3x+6x-9=0
The first two terms have a common factor of x.
The last two terms have a common factor of 3.
2x^2-3x+6x-9=0
x(2x-3)+3(2x-3)=0
Now we can factor the (x-3) out of those 2 terms there since they share that common factor:
(x+3)(2x-3)=0
(x+3)(2x-3)=0 implies x+3=0 or 2x-3=0.
So we must solve x+3=0 and 2x-3=0
x+3=0
Subtract 3 on both sides:
x=-3
2x-3=0
Add 3 on both sides:
2x=3
Divide both sides by 2:
x=3/2
The solutions are x=3 or x=-3/2
Answer:
Lynn gets 3 loafs
Judy gets 9 loafs....
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Lynn gets = x loafs
Judy gets = 3x loafs
Thus the equation becomes:
12 = 3x+x
Add the like terms:
12 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4
12/4=4x/4
x= 3
Lynn gets 3 loafs
Plug the value of x in 3x to find the loafs Judy gets.
3x = 3(3)=9
Judy gets 9 loafs....
