Let amanda's age be x and her dad's age be y.
Amanda’s dad is twice as old as she, therefore 2x=y
The sum of their ages is 66, therefore x+y=66
x+y=66
2x=y,
substitute.
2x+x=66
3x=66
Divide.
x=22.
plug it back in, 22+y=66, y=44.
Amanda's age is 22 and her dad's age is 44.
Answer:
The remaining solution to the equation is x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2 + x - 1 = 2
First set the equation to zero by subtracting 2 from each side:
2x^2 + x - 1 - 2 = 2 - 2
2x^2 + x - 3 = 0
Factor the left side of the equation:
2x^2 + x - 3 = 0
(2x + 3)(x - 1) = 0
Now set each factor to zero and solve:
2x+ 3 = 0
2x+ 3 - 3 = 0 - 3
2x= -3
2x/2= -3/2
x= -3/2 (The given expression)
x - 1 = 0
x - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1
x = 1
Since we already knew x = -3/2, the missing solution is x = 1.
