Let Daniel's age be 'x' years , hence, Lisa's age is (x - 5) years. Let Grandma's age be 'y' = 54 years.
Hence,
x(x - 5) = 2/3 × y
x² - 5x = 2 × 54 years / 3
x² - 5x = 36 years
x² - 5x - 36 = 0
∆ = (-5)² - 4(1)(-36) = 25 + 144 = 169
√∆ = √169 = 13
x\:  =  \:  \frac{ - b \:   \frac{ + }{ }   \:  \sqrt{ {b}^{2}  \:  -  \: 4ac} }{2a}
x1 = (5+13)/2, x2 = (5-13)/2
x1 = 9, x2 = -4
Since, age can't be negative,
Daniel's age = x = 9 years.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

140 inches cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula V = length * width * height to find the volumes of each block, then add them together to get the combined volume. So, (5 * 4 * 5) + (4 * 5 * 2) = 140 inches cubed, which is the combined volume.

Hopefully this helps- let me know if you have any questions!
