Answer:

Her son is 10 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let son be x

Ellie is 4x

In 5 years time: Her son = x + 5

Ellie = 4x + 5

Given that she will then be 3 times as old as her son: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5)

Solve x: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5) ,4x + 5 = 3x + 15

x = 10

What are the angles of a triangle
Talja [164]
The angles inside a triangle are called interior angles. The diagram below shows the interior and exterior angles of a triangle. The three interior angles in a triangle will always add up to 180°. At each corner the exterior and interior angles are on a straight line, so at each corner these two angles add up to 180°.

What is the discriminant of 3x^2 - 10 = -2?
Tatiana [17]
The formula for the discriminant is b^2-4ac. The formula you wote is in the form of 
ax^2+c=0, so first, you need to bring that -2 to the left. When you do that, you get (the original equation would be ax^2+bx+c but you have no bx.)

3x^2-8

So, since there's no b, it would be
b^2-4ac
0^2-4(3)(-8
-12 x -8
