X=2/5
Let x=0
Y=-2
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:
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation
3x + 9 + 2x = x - 2x - 3
Solution
Combine all the like terms.
3x+2x+9 = x - 2x - 3
5x + 9 = -x - 3 Add x to both sides of the equation
5x+x +9 = -x+x -3 Combine
6x + 9 = - 3 Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation
6x+9-9 = - 3-9 Combine
6x = -12 Divide both sides by 6
6x/6 = -12/6
x = - 2
Answer x = - 2
