X=7/3
solution steps:
subtract 2 from both sides
subtract 2x from both sides
Answer: 10, 11, & 12
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the age of the youngest child.
Their ages are consecutive so,
Youngest: x
Middle: x + 1
Oldest: x + 2
The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.
x² = 8(x + 2) + 4
x² = 8x + 16 + 4
x² = 8x + 20
x² - 8x - 20 = 0
(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0
x - 10 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
x = 10 or x = -2
Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid
So, the Youngest (x) is 10
the Middle (x + 1) is 11
and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12
Answer:
Out of these careers, an engineer would be the most geometric involved career.
Step-by-step explanation:
This answer is true through the process of elimination. A stockbroker focuses on economy in order to choose the right stock. A statistician focuses on graphing and statistics in terms of math. An accountant is focused on simple math in order to deduct and add to the sum of the money. The engineer has to use geometry in order to design plans for constructions.
A- if a triangle is not equilateral, then it is right.
Answer:
1/80 of the agency's employees have PhDs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Total number of employees = 4000
Number of employees with bachelors degree = 1000
Fraction of employees with graduate degree = 1/4 of 1000 = 250
1/5 of the employees with graduate degrees have PhD.
Number of employees with PhDs = 1/5 of 250 = 50
Now,
Fraction of PhD employees to total employees = 
Hence,
1/80 of the agency's employees have PhDs.
