Answer:
So we can simplify this to
36+4x=-1
We can subtract by 64 on both sides. 4x = -37. Therefore the answer to this is
x = -37/4 = -9.25.
So the answer for x is -16.25. If you were trying to do a quadratic equation then sorry because you worded it wrong, and I solved properly.

Answer: 10, 11, & 12
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the age of the youngest child.
Their ages are consecutive so,
Youngest: x
Middle: x + 1
Oldest: x + 2
The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.
x² = 8(x + 2) + 4
x² = 8x + 16 + 4
x² = 8x + 20
x² - 8x - 20 = 0
(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0
x - 10 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
x = 10 or x = -2
Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid
So, the Youngest (x) is 10
the Middle (x + 1) is 11
and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12
Answer:
x=65
Step-by-step explanation:
130+75+90+x=360
add 130 75 and 90 together to simplify
295+x=360
subtract 295 by both sides to isolate x
x=65
