Answer: 10, 11, & 12
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the age of the youngest child.
Their ages are consecutive so,
Youngest: x
Middle: x + 1
Oldest: x + 2
The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.
x² = 8(x + 2) + 4
x² = 8x + 16 + 4
x² = 8x + 20
x² - 8x - 20 = 0
(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0
x - 10 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
x = 10 or x = -2
Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid
So, the Youngest (x) is 10
the Middle (x + 1) is 11
and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12

Answer:
the lines are perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
You can tell something by looking at the differences of coordinates:
B-A = (6-2, -11-5) = (4, -16) . . . . . Δy/Δx = -16/4 = -4
D-C = (-1-3, 9-10) = (-4, -1) . . . . . Δy/Δx = -1/-4 = 1/4
The product of the slopes of these lines is (-4)(1/4) = -1, so ...
the lines are perpendicular
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:So we know x + y = 21 and 5x +10y = 165 We line them up in columns x + y = 21 5x +10y = 165 To eliminate the x variable, I'll multiply every element in the 1st equation by -5. -5x + -5y = -105 5x + 10y = 165 Now we combine (add) the equations, which eliminates x altogether. 5y = 60 ... y = 12 From there, x + 12 = 21 ... x = 21-12 ... x = 9 You should double check. Do 9 nickles and 12 dimes equal $1.65? A very important thing to remember using this method is to do the same thing to each element in the equation that you change! I hope that helps.
