    Problem Age

    Word Problem A mother is 4 times as old as her daughter. In 10 years, the mother will be twice as old as
    the daughter.

    How old are theynow?

    Solution: X be the daughter’s current age. 4x be the mother’s current age. In 10 years: The
    daughter’s age will be X + 10. The mother’s age will be 4x + 10.4x + 10 = 2 (x+10)Solving:4x + 10 = 2(x
    +20)2x + 10 = 202x = 10X = 5The daughter is currently 5 years old. The mother, being 4 times older, is:4 ×
    5=2

    MIXTURE PROBLEM:

    A grocer has two types of rice: one costs $2 per kilogram and the other costs $3 per kilogram. How many
    kilograms ofeach type should he mix to obtain 10 kilograms of rice worth $2.50 per kilogram?

    the $3 rice.Total weight:X + Y = 10Total cost: The total cost is 2x+3x, and it must equal the total cost of
    10 kilograms at $2.50 per kilogram:2x + 3y = 10 × 2.50 = 25Y = 10 − x2x + 3 (10−x) = 25
    The grocer should mix5 kilograms of $2 rice and5 kilograms of $3 rice to obtain 10 kilograms of rice
    worth $2.50 perkilogram.Distance, Rate and Time ProblemA car travels 180 miles at a constant speed. If
    the car’s speed was 10 miles per hour faster, it would have taken 2 hoursless to complete the trip.

    What is the car’s original speed?

    Solution:

    Let the original speed of the car be X miles per hour.Time = Distance ÷ Speed, so the time taken for the
    trip at the original speed is:Time at original speed = 180 / xTime at increased speed = 180 / x + 10180 / x
    – 180 / x + 10 = 21.

    Equation:

    Multiply both sides of the equation by x (x+10) to eliminate the denominators:180 (x + 10) −180x = 2x
    (x+ 10)180x + 1800 − 180x = 2x² + 20x1800 = 2x² + 20x900 = x² + 10xx² + 10x – 900 = 0

    Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:X = -10 ± √10² - 4(1)(-900)2(1)X = -10 ± √100 +
    36002X = -10 ± √3700 2X = -10 ± 60.83 2X = −10 + 60.83 ≈25.422

    Final Answer:The car’s original speed is25.42 miles per hour.
