Answer: 10, 11, & 12
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the age of the youngest child.
Their ages are consecutive so,
Youngest: x
Middle: x + 1
Oldest: x + 2
The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.
x² = 8(x + 2) + 4
x² = 8x + 16 + 4
x² = 8x + 20
x² - 8x - 20 = 0
(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0
x - 10 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
x = 10 or x = -2
Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid
So, the Youngest (x) is 10
the Middle (x + 1) is 11
and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12
Answer:
1200
Explanation:
Order does not matter, if we said xyz order, it would still not make a difference if it was zyx or yzx hence we use the combination formula:
nCr = n! / r! * (n - r)!
where n= total number of items
r= number of items chosen at a time
Combinations are used when the order of events do not matter in calculating the outcome.
We calculate using the formula:
(30×20×12)÷3!=1200
There are therefore 1200 ways for the three distinct items to not be in same row or column
We can use the ratios for special triangles (see the attachment below). We'll be using the 45-45-90 triangle. We notice that side BC is equal to
, and side AC (x using the special right triangle) is equal to 16. We can therefore say that side BC is equal to
ft

One of your friends gives you $10 for a charity walkathon -- this is your beginning amount.
Another friend gives you an amount per mile -- you will to calculate this value.
After 5 miles, you have raised $13.50 total --
-- Since one friend gave you $10.00, subtract this from the $13.50 to give you the amount by walking the 5 miles
-- $10.00 - $13.50 = $3.50
-- Since you walked 5 miles, divide $3.50 by 5 to give you $0.70 per mile earned.
So, an equation that represents the amount of money earned is: y = $0.70x+$10.00.
This is in slope-intercept form; the slope is $0.70 and represents the amount of money earned per mile and the intercept is $10.00 and represents the initial amount of money that you were given.
