Using equations to solve the word problem, Katherine's age is 8 years
<h3>Word Problem</h3>
Word problem are often mathematical problem that are represented in words and sometimes can be solved using an equation.
To solve this problem, we have to represent the problem using mathematical equations;
Let;
Katherine's age = x²
Alexandra = 5(x + 1)
Sum of their age = 109
5(x + 1) + x² = 109
5x + 5 + x² = 109
x² + 5x - 104 = 0
Solving for the equation; x = 8
Katherine's age is 8

The formula for the perimeter is P = 2<em>w</em> + 2<em>l</em>, where <em>w</em> is the width and <em>l</em> is the length. It is given that the width = (x+2) and the length = (x+6). Therefore, we can make this equation:
P = 2<em>w</em> + 2<em>l</em>
64 = 2(x+2) + 2(x+6) ⇒ Distributive property
⇒ 64 = 2x + 4 + 2x + 12 ⇒ Combine like terms
⇒ 64 = 4x + 16 ⇒ Subtract 16 from both sides
⇒ 48 = 4x ⇒ Divide both sides by 4
⇒ x = 12
Then, we use x = 12 and substitute it in to find the length and width
<em>Width</em> = (x+2) = (12+2) = 14
<em>Length</em> = (x+6) = (12+6) = 18

<span>You are given a car moved at a constant velocity during the first hour. It stopped for 2 hours at a mall and then moved ahead again at a constant velocity for the next 3 hours. Then you are given the car that has finally returned to its starting point with a constant velocity in the next 2.5 hours. The graph that best represents the car's motion is First straight line joins ordered pairs 0, 0 and 1, 60, second straight line joins 1, 60 and 3, 60, third straight line joins 3, 60 and 6, 100 and fourth straight line joins 6, 100 and 8.5, 0.</span>
