Mathematics

shtirl [24]3 years ago

Answer:

3 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

let m be Musa's age and d be Dayo's age

let x be number of years ago

m = 47

d = 22

(m - x)(d - x) = 836

(47 - x)(22 - x) = 836

1034 - 69x + x² = 836

x² - 69x + 198 = 0

This is in standard from ax² + bx + c = 0

Factor to be (x+q)(x+p)=0

p*q = c = 198

p+q = b = -69

198 = (-3)*(-66)

(-3) + (-66) = -69

Factored form is:

(x - 66)(x - 3) = 0

Set each bracket to 0

x - 66 = 0

x = 66 <= This number is inadmissable because neither Musa nor Dayo reached age 66.

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

The product of their ages was 836 3 years ago.

 2  7/8 <span>÷ 1/4  =

23/8  </span>÷  1/4 =  23/8 * 4/1 ;  The "4" cancels to a "1"; and the "8"
                                                       cancels to a "2";  (since "8÷4 =2" ;
                                                                                and "4÷4 = 1" ;
__________________________________________________________
  → 23/8 * 4/1 =  23/2  * 1/1   = 23/2  * 1  =  23/2 = 11  1/2 ;
