Answer:
6 is the answer to this question
Answer:
7 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Let Richard's age = x
Elder sister's age = 2x
Youngwr sister's age = x - 2
Product of sisters ages = 70
2x * (x - 2) = 70
2x² - 4x = 70
2x² - 4x - 70 = 0
x² - 2x - 35 = 0
x² - 7x + 5x - 35 = 0
x(x - 7) +5(x - 7) = 0
(x - 7) or (x + 5) = 0
x = 7 or x = - 5
X can't be negative
Hence, x = 7
Richard is 7 years
We know that
m-------------------- > <span>the amount of twinkle lights Maggie used
l--------------------- > </span><span>the amount of twinkle lights Lilly used
l=70
m=51+l
therefore
m=51+70=121
m=121
the answer is 121 (</span>amount of twinkle lights Maggie used)
