Es of two children are 11 and 8 years.
1 answer:
Answer:
<em>In 5 years the product of their ages will be 208</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The age of two children is 11 and 8 years.
Let's call x the number of years ahead.
We need to find when the product of their future ages is 208. The 11 years old child will be 11+x years old and the other child will be 8+x years, thus:
(11+x)(8+x)=208
Operating:
Simplifying:
Factoring:
(x-5)(x+24)=0
Solving:
x=5, x=-24
The negative solution is not valid, thus x=5
In 5 years the product of their ages will be 208

3x - 1 = 3x + 1
subtract 3x from both sides to get (-1 = 1). This is a false statement so it is: CONTRADICTION
************************************************
4x - 11 = 7
add 11 to both sides and then divide both sides by 4 to get . This statement is true only when x =
so it is: CONDITIONAL
*************************************************
2 - 8x = 2 - 8x
add 8x to both sides to get (2 = 2). This is a true statement so it is: IDENTITY
*************************************************
x + 1 = -x + 4
add x to both sides, subtract 1 from both sides, and divide both sides by 2 to get . This statement is true only when x =
so it is: CONDITIONAL
