Answer:
Samreen’s age is 10
Samreen’s brother’s age is 22

Explanation:
Let s be equal to Samreen’s age.
Let b be equal to Samreen’s brother’s age.

3s-8=b
s+b=32

Substitute the first equation into the second as b
s+b=32
s+(3s-8)=32
Open up the parentheses
s+3s-8=32
4s-8=32
Add 8 to both sides
4s-8+8=32+8
4s=40
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate s
4s/4=40/4
s=10

Therefore, Samreen’s age is 10.

To find Samreen’s brother’s age, we substitute 10 into either of our original equations and solve for b.

s+b=32
10+b=32
Subtract both sides by 10
10+b=32-10
b=22

Therefore, Samreen’s brother’s age is 22.

I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions :)

Solve x 2 - 4x - 7 = 0 by completing the square. What are the solutions?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

x = 2±sqrt(11)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -4x - 7 =0

Add 7 to each side

x^2 -4x -7+7 =0+7

x^2 -4x =7

To complete the square take the coefficient of the x term and  divide by 2 and then square it.  Add it to both sides

-4 /2 = -2 then square

(-2)^2 = 4

Add 4 to both sides

x^2 -4x+4 =7+4

x^2 -4x+4 = 11

Factor the left side into (x-b/2)^2

(x-2)^2 =11

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-2)^2) =±sqrt(11)

x-2 = ±sqrt(11)

Add to to each side

x-2+2 = 2±sqrt(11)

x = 2±sqrt(11)
