The youngest child is 8 years old.
The middle child is the youngest child+4 or, 8+4 which makes that child 12 years old.
The oldest child is the middle child+8 or, 12+8, making the oldest 18 years old.
Carol is all of the childrens ages combined plus 12 or, 8+12+18+12=50.
Carol is 50 years old.

Hope this helped :)

Spotlight Dance increased the number of dancers on its competition team. Last
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find percentage increase, we use the following formula:

Percentage Increase = \frac{New-Old}{Old}*100

Here

New means the latest value (which is 18 dancers)

Old means the previous value (which is 10 dancers)

The Multiplication by 100 is to convert the decimal answer to percentage.

So, we have:

New = 18

Old = 10

Now we substitute and find:

\frac{New-Old}{Old}*100\\\frac{18-10}{10}*100\\\frac{8}{10}*100\\80

So, there was an increase of 80%

Which equation shows the quadratic formula used correctly to solve 5x2 + 3x – 4 = 0 for x? x = StartFraction negative 3 plus-or-
Brrunno [24]

Answer: FIRST OPTION

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The missing picture is attached.</h3>

By definition, given a Quadratic equation in the form:

ax^2+bx+c=0

Where "a", "b" and "c" are numerical coefficients and "x" is the unknown variable, you caN use the Quadratic Formula to solve it.

The Quadratic Formula is the following:

x=\frac{-b \±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

In this case, the exercise gives you this Quadratic equation:

5x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0

You can identify that the numerical coefficients are:

a=5\\\\b=3\\\\c= - 4

Therefore, you can substitute values into the Quadratic formula shown above:

x=\frac{-b \±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\\\x=\frac{-3 \±\sqrt{(3)^2-4(5)(-4)} }{2(5)}

You can identify that the equation that shows the Quadratic formula used correctly to solve the Quadratic equation given in the exercise for "x", is the one shown in the First option.
