Crazy boy [7]2 years ago

Answer:

x^2 - 8x + 7 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the boy's present age be x.

Let his dad's present name be y.

Last year, his dad was 8 times as old as him. Subtract one year from each their ages and multiply the son's age by 8:

(y - 1) = 8(x - 1) ______ (1)

Now, his dad's age is the square of his age:

y = x^2 _________(2)

From (1):

y = 8x - 8 + 1

y = 8x -7

Put this in (2):

8x - 7 = x^2\\\\=> x^2 - 8x + 7 = 0

This problem has been represented in the form of a quadratic equation.

Question 10 (1 point) Solve for x. 1/2+x/6=4/3
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The value of x for the given expression is 5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression as

\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{x}{6} = \dfrac{4}{3}

Now, arrange the equation

So, \dfrac{x}{6} = \dfrac{4}{3} - \dfrac{1}{2}

<u>Taking L.C.M on right hand side </u>

Or,  \dfrac{x}{6} = \dfrac{8 -3}{6}

Or,  \dfrac{x}{6} = \dfrac{5}{6}

Or, x = \frac{5\times 6}{6}

∴  x = 5

So, The value of x = 5

Hence,The value of x for the given expression is 5 . Answer
