Answer:

Katie is 6 years old and Thomas is 3 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we should let K and T be the current ages of two siblings, Katie and Thomas.

If Katie is currently twice the age of Thomas then,

K = 2T

and in  6 years, Katie will be 4 times Thomas's current age then

K + 6 = 4T

Solving both equations simultaneously by substituting the value of K given in the first equation into the second

2T + 6 = 4T

Collect like terms

6 = 4T - 2T

6 = 2T

Divide both sides by 2

T = 3

Recall that K = 2T

K = 2 * 3

= 6

Hence Katie is 6 years old while Thomas is 3 years old

D = b^2 -4ac solve for a 2/3 (x-18y) = 6y solve for x
seropon [69]

Answer:

a = \frac{b^2-d}{4c}

x = 27y

Step-by-step explanation:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

<u>Question 1</u>

Step 1: Write out discriminant

d = b² - 4ac

Step 2: Subtract b² on both sides

d - b² = -4ac

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1

b² - d = 4ac

Step 4: Divide both sides by 4c

a = \frac{b^2-d}{4c}

<u>Question 2</u>

Step 1: Write out equation

2/3(x - 18y) = 6y

Step 2: Distribute parenthesis

2/3x - 12y = 6y

Step 3: Isolate <em>x </em>by adding 12y on both sides

2/3x = 18y

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2/3

x = 27y

Write quadratic equation whose roots are 1 and -3 and whose leading coefficient is 4
Mila [183]

Answer:

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first write it in factor form.

4(x - 1)(x + 3) = 0

4(x^2 + 2x - 3) = 0

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0 (answer).
