Answer:

5 years ago

Let Kelly's age be x

Jake's age is 4x

5 years later

Kelly's age is x + 5

Jake's age is 4x+5

The sum of both their ages is 60. The equation will be

x + 5 + 4x + 5 = 60

5x + 10 = 60

5x = 60 - 10

x = 50/5 = 10

So Kelly is (10 + 5) 15 years old.

Jake is (4*10 + 5) = 45 years old

Select all of the following that are quadratic equations.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

x^2 -2x = 4x+1

2x^2 +12x = 0

9x^2 +6x -3=0

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation has the highest power of x being squared

x^2 -2x = 4x+1

2x^2 +12x = 0

9x^2 +6x -3=0

These are all quadratic equations
