Answer: girls=20, sister=10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the girl's sister's age (present)
Let 2x= the girl's age (present)
-------------------------------------------------------------
According to the question
(x+5)(2x+5)=375
Expand parentheses by FOIL (First Outer Inner Last)
2x²+5x+10x+25=375
Combine like term (5x and 10x)
2x²+15x+25=375
Subtract 375 on both sides
2x²+15x+25-375=375-375
2x²+15x-350=0
Find the factors (cross factor)
(x-10)(x+17.5)=0
x=10 or x=-17.5 (rej) ⇔ the age can't be negative
the girl's age is 20, and her sister's age is 10.

Answer:
Not correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
x² - 6x - 7 = 0
The following equation can be solved correctly by factoring Thus,
x² - x + 7x - 7 = 0
x(x - 1) +7(x - 1) = 0
(x - 1)(x + 7) = 0
(x - 1) = 0
x - 1 = 0
x - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1
x = 1
Or
(x + 7) = 0
x + 7 = 0
x + 7 - 7 = 0 - 7
x = -7
Therefore, the solution would be x = 1 or x = -7
Lateena solution is therefore NOT CORRECT because she used a wrong method.
4 years and 7 months so I guess that would be 4.6 years
