Answer:

  4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent her present age. The given relation is ...

  x +12 = x^2

Putting this in standard form, we can factor it:

  x^2 -x -12 = 0

  (x -4)(x +3) = 0

Solutions to this quadratic are x = 4, x = -3. The -3 solution is extraneous in this context.

The girl's present age is 4.

Can someone tell me step by step how to solve this?
sasho [114]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I take it that this is some sort of ratio.  Start by solving the brackets on the left.

Brackets: 1/3 - 1/10

Brackets: 10/30 - 3/30

Brackets: 7/30

Brackets^2: 49/900

Brackets^2 - 1/5: 49/900  - 180/900

Brackets^2 - 1/5: -131/900

(2/5)^2 = 4/25

The way this read, it should be

\frac{\frac{-131}{900} }{\frac{4}{25} }

Which when you invert and multiply becomes

\frac{-131}{900} * \frac{25}{4}

which finally becomes

\frac{-131}{144}
