Answer:
30 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Forming Algebraic expressions and solving them to find the age.
Ratio of age of mother and daughter = 5 : 3
Age of mother = 5x
Age of daughter = 3x
It is given that mother's age is 50 years.
⇒ 5x = 50
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 50÷5
x = 10
Daughter's age = 3x
= 3*10
= 30 years
Area of rectangle b=1/2 area of rectangle a=40/2=20 cm²
Length=8 cm
Width of rectangle b=20/8 =2.5 cm
Answer:
x = 3, -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the quadratic formula: x = [-b ± √b² - 4ac]/2a
The square root sign should be over the entire expression b² - 4ac
In this problem, a = -6, b = 15, and c = 9
So, putting in those values, we get x = -15 ± √225+216, all divided by -12
Simplifying further, we get -15 ± 21 all divided by -12, or -36/-12 = 3 OR
6/-12 = -1/2
