Answer:
<u>The ages of Paul and Selena are 13 and 7 years old.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Age of Paul = x
Age of Selena = x -6
Age of Paul and Selena in 15 years:
x + 15 = 4 (x - 6)
x + 15 = 4x - 24
x - 4x = -24 - 15
- 3x = -39
x = 13
<u>Paul now is 13 years old and Selena is 7 years old. In 15 years, Paul will be 28, that is 4 times the present age of Selena.</u>
Quadratic formula is x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)
a= 1, b=-4, and c=3
Therefore, x=(-(-4)+-sqrt((-4)^2-4(1)(3))/(2(1))
Solve for both the plus and minus equations; the answers will be the roots to the quadratic equation.
Answer:
<u>4 1/12. (Four, one by twelve).</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
7/12 × 7 =?
7/12×7 = <u>49/12.</u>
The answer is now in improper fraction. When we convert it to mixed fraction we get the answer as <u>4 1/12. (Four, one by twelve).</u>
