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:
1.5 or 1 1/2 of a lawn in one hour. about one hour to mow one yard.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
FC = 27, QC = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The centroid Q is 
the way along CF , therefore, QF is half as long as CQ
Given FQ = 9, then
QC = 2 × 9 = 18
FC = FQ + QC = 9 + 18 = 27
