The difference of the present ages of two sister in 5 yrs

Mathematics
1 answer:
Gekata [30.6K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

4 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

let their ages be x and x - 5, then in 4 years their ages will be

x + 4 and x - 5 + 4 = x - 1 , and the product is 104, thus

(x + 4)(x - 1) = 104 ← expand factors on left using FOIL

x² + 3x - 4 = 104 ( subtract 104 from both sides )

x² + 3x - 108 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 12)(x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 12 = 0 ⇒ x = - 12

x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9

However, x > 0 ⇒ x = 9

Thus

Their present ages are 9 and 9 - 5 = 4

QRST is a parallelogram. Find x and y.
Wewaii [24]

In parallelograms, opposite sides are congruent, meaning that they are the same lengths. So, we have:

y - 4x = 9

-x + 4 = y

Add x to both sides of the second equation:

y + x = 4

y - 4x = 9

This is a system of linear equations. Solve by eliminating the y and subtracting the two equations:

5x = -5

x = -1

Use x to solve for y:

y + (-1) = 4

y = 5

So, x = -1 and y = 5.

To calculate for the equivalent price in units of per square feet, we need to convert the given units from per square yard to per square feet. We calculate as follows:

<span>$11 per square yard ( 1 yard per 3 feet )^2 = $0.14 per square feet

90 square feet (</span>$0.14 per square feet) = $12.22
