AGE RELATED PROBLEM
5x+2+x+2+1/2x+2=58
1. 5x+x+1/2x=58-2-2-2
x- 1
Solution:
Let x=unit digits
A=LW
2x= tens digit
60= (4x + 4) (x - 1)
60 = 4𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 4𝑥
10(x)+2x=10(2x) +x-126
12x=21x-126 4𝑥 2 − 4 − 60=0
-9x=126 4𝑥 2 − 64 = 0
2x – 8 = 0 2x = 8 x=4
The number is (28 x 10) +14 or 294.
2x + 8 = 0 2x = 8 x = -4
Most probably now you fell in love with God made us in endlessly
Geometry… repeating geometric shapes
Triangles, circles opening and dividing
A rectangle is 4 times as long as its wide Until we created our own vocabulary
If the length is increased by 4 inches Set in theorems
The width is decreased by 1 inch, Loss in the proof of our own humanity.
The area will be 60 square inches.
What were the dimensions of the original Angle A and B our complementary
rectangle?
The measure of angle A is twice 2.
the measure of angle B. If I were to measure my faith
Find the measures of angles A and B. I could calculate just how long
it took for God to work in me…
Solution: To make my trust in Him this strong!
Let A be the of angle A and B be the
measure of angle B. Hence
A car traveling at an average rate of 50kph
A= 2B
Made the trip to town in 6 hours.
Angles A and B are complementary; hence
If it had to travelled at 40kph,
A + B = 90°
How many more minutes
But A = 2B: hence
it would take the trip?
2B + B + 90°
3B =90°
Solution:
B = 30°
Let T = Time to make the trip in case (2).
A = 2B = 60°
r t d
Case 1 50 6 50x6=300
Case 2 45 t 45t
MEASREMENT PROBLEM D= RT
45t/45=300/45
1. T= 6 2/3 hours 2/3= 40minutes.
We measure our lives The time taken would have been 40 minutes
longer.
by what we can afford to buy
Rather than what we can’t
can’t afford to lose. MIXTURE PROBLEM
x = 40ml
y = 100-x=60ml Kim spent 4/5 of her allowance
On food and shopping.
the amount was kept in the bank Success isn’t always about greatness
1.
Forget the hours I’ve spent crying
Love the way I am
Just love me
As if I were a sailboat,
And you were the sea
And all we needed was each other.
Solution:
V = D/T
V = 1000km/5h
V = 200km/h
2.
Once in a while
We go together
To the place
We originally belong
In the high sky up we go
Filled with excitement
Of joy and hope.
Solution:
V = d/t
= 100m/2s
= 50m/s
