a) John is 3 years older than his brother Brian, the product of their ages is 54 i) Express this information in equation form ii) Show this information as a quadratic equation iii) Hence, solve the equation to find their individual ages

Brian is 6 years old, John is 9 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

i.

J = 3 + B

J x B = 54

ii.

(3 + B) x B = 54

B² + 3B = 54

iii.

(B + 9)(B - 6) = 0

B = -9 or 6 -- -9 is irrational as one cannot be negative years old

Brian = 6 years old; therefore, John = 9 years old

answer: 1475

step-by-step explanation:

becuase you have to know what they are asking you

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume

number of candles set =x

price of of x candles =p(x)

we are given

a candle maker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week

so, we get point as (200,10)

he finds that when he reduces the price by $1, he then sells 50 more candle sets each week

so, we can find slope

now, we can use point slope form of line

now, we can plug values

we can use point

and find b

now, we can plug it back

and we get

now, we can find revenue

we know that

revenue = price*quantity

so, we get
