For this case we must complete squares:
We add the square of half the coefficient of the term "x",
on both sides of the equation:
According to the perfect square trinomial we have:
Rewriting the expression we have:

Answer:
The eldest of them is Brian and he is 24 + 2 = 26 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Malachy age = a
Brian age = a + 2
Caroline age = a - 8
Total of their age = a + (a + 2) + (a - 8)
66 = a + (a + 2) + (a - 8)
collect like terms
66 = a + a + 2 + a - 8
66 = a + a + a - 6
3a = 66 + 6
3a = 72
divide both sides by 3
a = 72/3
a = 24
Malachy age is 24 . Caroline is 24 - 8 = 16 years old.
The eldest of them is Brian and he is 24 + 2 = 26 years old.
B - 38 r350.
To check 448 x 38 =17,024 + 350 =17,374
Answer:
I think its C) 43. Let me know what you get
84 ÷ 2 = 42
Check it to make sure.
2 × 42 = 84
42 and 2 can be multiplied to get 84.
