Hi there, Kevin's age would be C. 7. This is because Tonya right now is 14. 7 is half of 14.

For this case we have the following variables:


T: Tonya's age


K: Kevin's age


If Tonya is twice Kevin's age we have:


T = 2K

In three years Tonya will have 17, it means:


T +3=17

We have a system of two equations with two unknowns:

T=2K

T+3=17

From the second equation we have:T = 17-3 = 14

Substituting T = 14 in the first equation we have:


14 = 2K

Clearing K:


\frac{14}{2}=K

So, Kevin is 7 years old


Answer:


7 years


Option C

The Quadratic Equation c² + 6c+ 8 = 0<br><br> Show work please
Bad White [126]
The formula for the quadratic formula is x (c in this case) = (-b(+/-)√(b²-4ac))/2a
This is used for an equation in standard quadratic form: ax² + bx + c = 0
1.) Put it in the correct form, if not already in it.
Ex. c² + 6c + 8 = 0
2.) Identify each part of the equation:
a = 1 (the leading coefficient), b = 6 (the coefficient in front of the second variable), c = 8
3.) Plug in each variable answer
c = (-6(+/-)√(6²-4(1)(8))/2(1)
4.) Simplify
c = (-6(+/-)√(36-(4*8))/2
c = (-6(+/-)√(36-32))/2
c = (-6(+/-)√(4))/2
c = (-6(+/-)2)/2
*Here, the equation splits in two. It becomes:
c = (-6+2)/2 AND c = (-6-2)/2
*Simplify again:
c = -4/2 AND c = -8/2
c = -2 AND c = -4
The answers c = -2 and c = -4 would solve the given equation.
Hope this helps! :)

The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 5:3. There are 32 students in the class. How many students are boys?
alina1380 [7]
Class ratio of girls to boys is 3:5
So there are 3 girls and 5 boys in 8 students
If there are 32 students, then 3/(3+5) * 32 = 12 girls, and 5/(3+5) * 32 = 20 boys


Hope it helps you?
