Answer:
I believe that Kevin is 6 years old now.
Step-by-step explanation:
I used the guess and check method to figure this out.
First, I began by making Daniel 1 years old, two years ago. Kevin was 4 times as old as Daniel two years ago, so he would be 4 at the time. Now, Daniel would be 3 and Kevin would be 6 years old. The statement that Kevin is three years older than Daniel would confirm this, because 6-3=3. Hope this helps, this is my first time answering:)
The answer would be 0 solutions.
Here, we see <em>|</em><em />x+6<em>|</em><em /> = 2.
Oh wow! A foreign object!
|x+6|... two lines... what is that?
That is called absolute value. Whatever is inside the two lines, must have a positive answer!
Let's pretend we have a machine that has this absolute value function activated.
What we put in, we must get a positive answer out.
Let's put in -6.
-6 ==> BEEP BEEP ==> 6
Let's try 3.
3 ==> BEEP BEEP ==>3
Whatever we put in, if it is negative or positive, what comes out is always positive.
So, for how many values <em>x</em> is |x+6|=-2 true?
None, because the answer <em>must</em><em /> be positive!
-2 is not positive, <em>2</em><em /> is.
Moooooooosssssssssseeeeeeeeseseses
No solution because you can’t even out both sides
