Step-by-step explanation:
x = n of years of mary
x+8= n of years of her bro
So her brother is (x+8)/x times as old as Mary
You use the quadratic formula:
2x {}^{2} - 3x = 5
2x {}^{2} - 3x - 5 = 0
x = \frac{3 + - \sqrt{9 -4(2)( - 5)}}{2 \times 2}
x = \frac{3 + - \sqrt{49} }{4}
x = \frac{3 + 7}{4} \: and \: x = \frac{3 - 7}{4}
x = \frac{5}{2} \: and \: x = - 1
So find how much was eaten
1/6 and 2/3=eaten
add 1/6 and 2/3
convert bottom number to same
2/3=4/6
1/6+4/6=5/6
5/6 eaten
3-5/6=
2+1-5/6=
2+6/6-5/6=
2+1/6
2 and 1/6 waffles left
The coordinates of the midpoint are (-6,3)
