Basically (-3)^2 is literally negative three times negative three so 9
In -3^2 the calculator understands
3^2 which is 9 and then makes it negative (-9) because it doesn't see the - as part of what is being squared

Ishaan is 222 times as old as Christopher. 353535 years ago, Ishaan was 777 times as old as Christopher.

<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

Ishaan is 2 times as old as Christopher. 35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher. How old is Christoper now?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The present age of Christoper is 42 years old

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Ishaan is 2 times as old as Christoper

Let the present age of Christoper be "x"

Then, Present age of Ishaan = 2 times as old as Christoper

present age of Ishaan = 2x

<em><u>35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher</u></em>

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = Present age of Ishaan - 35

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = 2x - 35

Similarly,

Age of christoper 35 years ago = Present age of christoper - 35

Age of christoper 35 years ago = x - 35

From given statement, 35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = 7 times the age of Christoper 35 years ago

(2x - 35) = 7(x - 35)

<em><u>Solve the above equation for "x"</u></em>

2x - 35 = 7x - 245

2x - 7x = -245 + 35

-5x = -210

Thus present age of Christoper is 42 years old

Help please!<br> Find x<br> x=<br> 7<br> 7/2<br> /(14)

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

recognize that this is a right triangle with one of the internal angles = 45°. This means that the other angle not shown is 180 - 90 - 45 = 45°

This makes the triangle an isosceles triangle.

If so, x must be the same length as the other side adjacent to 90°

i.e x = 7
