N, n+1, n+2

(n+1)(n+2)=6(n+n+1)-12

n^2+3n+2=12n+6-12

n^2+3n+2=12n-6

n^2-9n+8=0

n^2-n-8n+8=0

n(n-1)-8(n-1)=0

(n-8)(n-1)=0

So there are actually two solutions that satisfy the conditions for the cousin's ages...

1,2, and 3  years old and 8,9,and 10 years old.

check...

2*3=6(1+2)-12,  6=18-12, 6=6

9*10=6(8+9)-12,  90=102-12, 12=12

In a chemistry class, 12 L of a 12% alcohol solution must be mixed with a 20% solution to get a 14% solution. How many liters of
tigry1 [53]
Let x = liters 20% solution to be added
then

.12(12) + .20x = .14(12+x)
.12(12) + .20x = .14(12+x)
1.44 + .20x = 1.68 + .14x
.20x = .24 + .14x
.06x = .24
x = 4 liters
