Using equations to solve the word problem, Katherine's age is 8 years
<h3>Word Problem</h3>
Word problem are often mathematical problem that are represented in words and sometimes can be solved using an equation.
To solve this problem, we have to represent the problem using mathematical equations;
Let;
Katherine's age = x²
Alexandra = 5(x + 1)
Sum of their age = 109
5(x + 1) + x² = 109
5x + 5 + x² = 109
x² + 5x - 104 = 0
Solving for the equation; x = 8
Katherine's age is 8

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
I don't think you need the quadratic formula for this equation. It just factors into (b - 2)(b - 2), but I'll do it because you requested it.
Formula
Givens
a = 1
b = - 4
c = 4
Solution
x = - - 4 +/- sqrt((-4^2) - 4*1*4)
====================
2*1
x = 4 +/- sqrt (16 - 16)
==========
2
x = 4/2
x = 2
There are 2 roots but both of them are the same. Some teachers say there is only 1 root. I'm in that group.
Answer:
Option C
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the inequality like an equation using inverse operations.
-6n+5<11
-6n+5-5<11-5
-6n<6 when you divide by -6 be sure to change the sign
n>-1
Graph it in the number by placing an open circle on -1 and marking the arrow to the right.
Answer: 24.24 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We should note that 1000 metres = 1 kilometer.
Imelda rode her bicycle 39 kilometers which will be converted to meters a:
= 39 × 1000
= 39000 meters
Since 1 meter = 1.094 yards
39000 meters = 39000 × 1.094 = 42666 yards
To find find the distance Imelda rode her bicycle to the nearest mile goes thus:
1 mi = 1760 yd
42666 yards will be converted to miles. This will be: 42666/1760 = 24.24 miles
