Answer:
x² + 2x - 15 = 0
x² + 2x + 1 = 16
(x + 1)² = 16
You can then go forward with that to solve it:
x + 1 = √16
x = -1 ± √16
x = -1 ± 4
x = 3, -5
k = 13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Setup proportion and solve for k:
7
15
because there are a total of 15 grid and the question asked to pick the grid that doesn't shaded
Veronica's age now =8 years
Veronica's age now = x years
Georgia's age now = 5x - 7
Veronica age after 6 year = 14
x + 6 = 14
x = 14 - 6
x = 8 years
