Let the first brother = x
second brother = x + 2
third brother = x + 4
<span>The product of the first and third boys' ages is 20 more than twice the second boy's age:
x(x+4) = 2(x+2) + 20
x</span>² + 4x = 2x + 4 + 20
x² + 4x - 2x - 24 = 0
x² + 2x - 24 = 0
(x - 4)(x + 6) = 0
x = 4 or -6 (rejected, age cannot be negative)
First brother = 4
Second brother = 4 + 2 = 6
Third brother = 4 + 4 = 8
The three boys are 4, 6, and 8 years old.
First, you want to solve for the equation for this problem, would be:
0.05N + 0.10D = 20.50
While N = The amount of nickels, and D = The amount of dimes.
Since N = 164, and D = 123. It would add up to 287 coins. 164 + 123 = 287.
Now that you have the number for those two variables, solve the equation for when N = 164, and D = 123.
0.05N + 0.10D = 20.50
<span>0.05(164) + 0.10(123) = 20.50
</span><span>8.2 + 12.3 = 20.50
</span>20.50 = 20.50
So, there is 164 nickels, and 123 dimes for your answer.

Just need to set up an equation.
List what we know Randi made twice what sister did.
So 2X = Randi balloons made
X= Sister balloons made
We also know they made 0.5 for each animal so sales made / price = number sold
2X + X = 48/0.5
3X = 96
X = 32
So Randi made 64 And her sister made 32.
Cause 2X = Randi and X = sister

27 is how much kids did the survey because I added all the fractions together like how the question did 3/5 which is 3 × 5 = 15
