69+x=7(3+x)
69+x=21+7x
x-7x=21-69
-6x=-48
x=-48/-6
x=8 years from now dad will be 7 times as old as his son.
Proof:
69+8=8(3+8)
77=7*11
77=77

2,500x+5,000(770-x)=2,800,000
2,500x+3,850,000-5,000x=2,800,000
-2,500x=2,800,000-3,850,000
-2,500x=-1,050,000
x=-1,050,000/-2,500
x=420 semi-VIP tickets sold.
770-420=350 VIP tickets sold.
Proof:
2,500*420+5,000*350=2,800,000
1,050,000+1,750,000=2,800,000
2,800,000=2,800,000

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x & x+1 be the 2 integers.
2(x+1)^2=3x+57
2(x^2+2x+1)=3x+57
2x^2+4x+2=3x+57
2x^2+4x-3x-57+2=0
2x^2+x-55=0
(2x+11)(x-5)=0
2x=11=0
2x=-11
x=-11/2
x=-5.5 ans. -5.5+1=-4.5 ans.
x-5=0
x=5 ans. 5+1=6 ans.
Proof:
2*6^2=3*5+57
2*36=15+57
72=72

1500(1+r)^4=3300
(1+r)^4=3300/1500
(1+r)^4=2.2
1+r=4thrt(2.2)
1+r=1.21788
r=1.21788-1
r=.21788 ans. for the rate.
Proof:
1500(1+.21788)^4=3300
1500(1.21788)^4=3300
1500*2.2=3300
3300=3300

White seeds:
7/17*6/16*5/15=210/4080=7/136 chances (or 5.147%) of the 3 being white seeds.
6/17*5/16*4/15=120/4080=4/136 chances (or 2.941%) of the 3 being yellow.
4/17*3/16*2/15=24/4080=8/1360 chances (or 0.588%) of the 3 being red.
7/136+4/136+8/1360
(70+40+8)/1360
118/1360=.086765 or 8.6765% success in all 3 being the same color.

18*23=414 cm^2 is the center illustration.
(13+2x)(23+2x)=594
299+46x+26x+4x^2=594
4x^2+72x+299-594=0
4x^2+72-295=0
Using the quadratic equation x=%28-b%2B-sqrt%28b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29 we get:
x=(-72+-sqrt[72^2-4*4*-295])/2*4
x=(-72+-sqrt[5184+4720])/8
x=)-71+-sqrt9904)/8
x=(-72+-99.5188)/8
x=27.5188/8
x=3.43986 cm. ans for the margin.
Proof:
(13+2*3.43986)(23+2*4.43986)=594
(13+6.8797)(23+6.8797)=594
19.8797*29.8797=594
594~594

6,250, 5,000, 4,000, 3,200, 2,560
[each term is multiplied by .8 or divided by 1.25]
----------------------------------------------------------
972/4096=.23730479
x^5=.23730479
x=5th root of .23730479
x=.75 is the multiplier for these 4 middle terms.
Proof
