Its already in simplest form but you can convert it to a mixed fraction and get:
1 5/8
Answer: The age of the twins is 10 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the age of older sister be x
Let the age of twins sister be x-9, as they are born after 9 years.
Product of their ages be
Sum of their ages will be
According to question,
So, Age of older sister will be 19 years.
Age of the twins will be
Hence, the age of the twins is 10 years.
You labeled the triangle wrong sides 'a' and 'b' are supposed to be the sides that make the right angle. the other side is called the hypotenuse which is the longest side which you should have labeled 'c'
so Pythagorean theorem says
a^2+b^2=c^2
so
(2x+1)^2+(11x+5)^2=(12x+1)^2
distribute
(4x^2+4x+1)+(121x^2+110x+25)=(144x^2+24x+1)
add like terms
125x^2+114x+26=144x^2+24x+1
subtract 125x^2 from both sides
114x+26=19x^2+24x+1
subtract 114x from both sides
26=19x^2-90x+1
subtract 26 from both sides
0=19x^2-90-25
factor
(x-5)(19x+5)=0
therefor x-5=0 and/or 19x+5=0
so
x-5=0 add 5 to both sides
x=5
19x+5=0
subtract 5 from both sides
19x=-5
divide both sides by 19
x=-5/19
since side legnths can't be negative, we can cross this solution out
so x=5
subtitute
1+2x
1+2(5)
1+10=11
side a=11
11x+5
11(5)+5
55+5=60
side b=60
12x+1
12(5)+1
60+1=60
side c=61
add them all up
side a+b+c=11+60+61=132=total legnth
Answer:
5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Principal Amount to be paid=$4500
Interest rate = 2%
Number if Times compounded= number of years
Number of years = x
Among total= $5010
A= p(1+r/n)^(nt)
But n= t =x
A= p(1+r/x)^(x²)
5010=4500(1+0.02/x)^(x²)
5010/4500 = (1+0.02/x)^(x²)
1.11333=( 1+0.02/x)^(x²)
Using trial and error method the number of years maximum to give approximately $5010 is 5 years
