Solution

For this case we can take square root in both sides and we have:
![3x-5=\pm\sqrt[]{19}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3x-5%3D%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B19%7D)
And solving for x we got:
![x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt[]{19}}{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5Cfrac%7B5%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B19%7D%7D%7B3%7D)
then the solutions for this case are:
B and E
Idk cuz im stupid but cant you divide 9,998÷5?
What you can do is count all the shapes the put the number of blue with that into a fraction. Lets say that there are 24 shapes and 15 are blue the fraction would be 15/25
Hope this helped. If you post a pic I can help you more.
<u>Answer:</u>


<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

First set the equation to 0


Second, get the 12 on the right side of the equal sign by adding a -12 to each side



Square root both sides of the equal sign.


Take the square root on left sides of the equal sign.


Take the square root on the right side of the equal sign. Remember 



<u>AND</u>

Let us always base on the present age. We denote this by x. Now, the age he had 2 years ago would then be denoted as (x-2). Let's equate this to 20 years old.
x - 2 = 20
x = 20 + 2
x = 22 years old
He should be 22 years old now.
Let's check the other condition. After 1 year, his age should be (x+1). Let's equate this to 23 years old.
x + 1 = 23
x = 23 - 1
x = 22
Thus, this is possible if Reuben is 22 years old as of the present.
