Let Bea = x
Therefore Andrew = x + 2
Chris = x - 3
Andrew * Chris = 66
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 66 Remove the brackets.
x^2 + 2x - 3x - 6 = 66
x^2 - x - 6 = 66 Subtract 66 from both sides.
x^2 - x - 72 = 0
(x - 9)(x + 8) = 0
Find the possible values of Bea's age
x - 9 = 0
x = 9 That value works. She can be plus 9 years old.
x + 8 = 0
x = - 8. There's no way she can be - 8 years old
So Bea is 9.

Answer:
New mean length of these 17 people=11.62
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Step 1: Determine the total length of children's fingers</em>
L=l×n
where;
L=total length (cm)
l=mean length (cm)
n=number of children
replacing;
L=6.7×6=40.2 cm
The total children's fingers length=40.2 cm
<em>Step 2: Determine the total length of adults fingers</em>
total length of adults fingers=mean length of adults fingers×number of adults
where;
mean length of adults=14.3
number of adults=11
replacing;
total length of adults fingers=(14.3×11)=157.3 cm
<em>Step 3: Determine the new mean length</em>
new mean length=total length of adults and children fingers/number of adults and children
where;
total length of adults and children fingers=157.3+40.2=197.5 cm
number of adults and children=11+6=17
replacing;
new mean length=197.5/17=11.62
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the measurement around an object.
So first you multiply the 20 and the 10 by 2.
20 * 2 = 40
10 * 2 = 20
Then, add then up!
40 + 20 = 60
Answer:
y = 
x + 6 or y = x - 0.375
Step-by-step explanation:
For 2 lines to be perpendicular, their slopes must be <u>negative reciprocals</u>. In order to find the perpendicular of y - 4x - 6 = 0:
SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM: y = 4x + 6
SLOPE OF LINE A: m=4
SLOPE OF LINE B (the one you are looking for): m=
Since I don't know if you meant that they intercept on the x or y axis I will do both.
<u>y-axis</u>
y-6=(x-0)
y = x+6
<u>x-axis</u>
y-0=(x-1.5)
y=x-0.375
