Roberto is 3 years older than Carolyn. In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 81. How old is Roberto now?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nuetrik [128]2 years ago

Answer: 35

the age of Roberto is x (x > 3)(x ∈ N)

because Roberto is 3 years older than Carolyn => the age of Carolyn is x - 3

in 7 years, the age of Roberto is x + 7; the age of Carolyn is x - 3 + 7 = x + 4

because  In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 81 =>

x + 7 + x + 4 = 81

⇔ 2x + 11 = 81

⇔ 2x = 70

⇔ x = 70/2 = 35

=>  the age of Roberto is 35

In a movie theater, the number of seats in a row is 8 greater than the total number of rows. How many rows are in the movie thea
Harman [31]

Answer:

26 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

this is like a rectangle length×width situation.

seats per row = s

number of rows = r

s × r = 884

s = r + 8

so, we can use e.g. the second equation in the first :

(r + 8) × r = 884

r² + 8r = 884

r² + 8r - 884 = 0

the general solution to such a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

x = r

a = 1

b = 8

c = -884

r = (-8 ± sqrt(8² - 4×1×-884))/(2×1) =

= (-8 ± sqrt(64 + 3536))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(3600))/2 =

= (-8 ± 60)/2 = -4 ± 30

r1 = -4 + 30 = 26

r2 = -4 - 30 = -34

a negative number did not make any sense for the number of rows, so r = 26 is our answer.
