Answer: girls=20, sister=10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the girl's sister's age (present)
Let 2x= the girl's age (present)
-------------------------------------------------------------
According to the question
(x+5)(2x+5)=375
Expand parentheses by FOIL (First Outer Inner Last)
2x²+5x+10x+25=375
Combine like term (5x and 10x)
2x²+15x+25=375
Subtract 375 on both sides
2x²+15x+25-375=375-375
2x²+15x-350=0
Find the factors (cross factor)
(x-10)(x+17.5)=0
x=10 or x=-17.5 (rej) ⇔ the age can't be negative
the girl's age is 20, and her sister's age is 10.
It will take 3.35........
Answer:
9 because 27 divided by 3 is 9
10 squared plus 18 squared equals C squared is the set up
After solving you should get 20.59
Answer:
[4, -1]
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Elimination Method:
3x + y = 11
5x - y = 21
__________
8x = 32
__ ___
8 8
x = 4 [Plug this back into both equations to get the y-coordinate of -1]; -1 = y
The <em>y</em>'s are already <em>additive</em><em> </em><em>inverses</em><em> </em>[result in 0], canceling each other out.
