Ben is 19 years old now

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the age of Ishaan be "x"

Given that ben is 12 years older than Ishaan

Therefore, age of ben = x + 12

Therefore, before three years,

Age of Ishaan before three years = x - 3

Age of Ben before three years = x + 12 - 3 = x + 9

From question,Three  years  ago, ben  was  4  times  as  old  as  ishaan

Age of Ben before three years = 4(Age of Ishaan before three years)

x + 9 = 4(x - 3)

x + 9 = 4x - 12

4x - x = 9 + 12

3x = 21

x = 7

Therefore age of ben now = x + 12 = 7 + 12 = 19

Thus Ben is 19 years old now

Jake is solving x^2-6x+5=0 by completing the square his steps are shown below step 1. x^2-6x=-5 step 2. x^-6x+9=-5+9 step 3. (x-
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Jake's error in step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x^{2} -6x+5=0

Complete the square

step 1

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

x^{2} -6x=-5

step 2

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

x^{2} -6x+9=-5+9

x^{2} -6x+9=4

step 3

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x-3)^{2}=4

Jake's error in step 3

He placed 6 instead of 3 in the left side

step 4

take square root both sides

\sqrt{(x-3)^2} =\sqrt{4}

step 5

(x-3)=\pm2

step 6

x=3\pm2

step 7

x=5 and x=1
