<span>Jerry is 8 years younger than Patricia, so:
(1): Jerry = Patricia - 8
Six years ago, Patricia was 3 times as old as Jerry was then, so:
(2): (Patricia - 6) = (Jerry - 6)*3
Putting equation 1 in to equation 2
(Patricia - 6) = (Patricia - 8 - 6)*3
Patricia - 6 = 3Patricia - 42
36 = 2Patricia
Patricia = 18
And so Jerry = 10</span>

The answer to the question
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The roots are the values of x for which x² + 3x - 5 = 0.
Quadratic formula:
x = [-3±√(3²-4(1)(-5))]/(2·1) = [-3±√29]/2
So you first make 1 7/9 into 16/9
then you do 16/9 - 4/9 which equals to 12/9 then you simplify and get 4/3 then simplify again into 1 1/3
