Let Bea = x
Therefore Andrew = x + 2
Chris = x - 3
Andrew * Chris = 66
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 66 Remove the brackets.
x^2 + 2x - 3x - 6 = 66
x^2 - x - 6 = 66 Subtract 66 from both sides.
x^2 - x - 72 = 0
(x - 9)(x + 8) = 0
Find the possible values of Bea's age
x - 9 = 0
x = 9 That value works. She can be plus 9 years old.
x + 8 = 0
x = - 8. There's no way she can be - 8 years old
So Bea is 9.
9 <<<<<< Answer
To find the zeros of this equation you need to first set it equal to zero
2x2 + 16x - 9 = 0
But since you can't FOIL this equation you need to move the non-variable number over
2x2 +16x = 9
Now solve for x by pulling an x out of the equation
x(2x + 16) = 9
x = 9
2x +16 = 9
2x = -7
x = -7/2
So your zeros would be at x = 9, and -7/2
Answer:
4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of Blue vans = 4
Number of white vans = 3
Total number of vans = Number of Blue vans + Number of white vans
= 4 + 3
= 7 vans
Number of blue vans : Number of white vans = 4 : 3
Fraction of vans that are blue = Number of Blue vans / Total number of vans
= 4 / 7
Fraction of vans that are blue = 4/7
Answer:
The angles are <u>155°</u> and <u>25°</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Two supplementary angles are in the ratio of 31:5.
Now, to find the angles.
The sum of two supplementary angles = 180°
Let the ratio of the angles be 
.
So, according to question:
<em>Dividing both sides by 36 we get:</em>
So, 
And, 
Therefore, the angles are 155° and 25°.
Answer:
2 - 2<em>n</em>
Step-by-step explanation
We can use<em> n</em> for the number.
2 - 2(<em>n</em>)
2- 2<em>n</em>
