Q. (2323) 15+0.08t>3+0.12t 15+0.08 t>3+0.12 t \newline(33) 15t+0.08<3t+0.12 15 t+0.08<3 t+0.12 \newline(44) 15t+0.08>3t+0.12 15 t+0.08>3 t+0.12 \newline55. Show work for the following question (33 points)\newlineJulia is 44 years older than twice Kelly's age, x x . The product of their ages is 9696 . Write an equation that models this situation.\newlineDetermine Kelly's age algebraically.
  1. Define Kelly's Age: Let Kelly's age be xx years.\newlineJulia's age is 44 years older than twice Kelly's age, so Julia's age is 2x+42x + 4.
  2. Calculate Julia's Age: The product of their ages is 9696. So, we write the equation (2x+4)x=96(2x + 4) \cdot x = 96.
  3. Write Product Equation: Distribute xx across the terms in the parentheses.\newline2x2+4x=962x^2 + 4x = 96.
  4. Simplify Equation: Bring all terms to one side to set the equation to zero.\newline2x2+4x96=02x^2 + 4x - 96 = 0.
  5. Factor Quadratic Equation: Divide the entire equation by 22 to simplify.x2+2x48=0x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0.
  6. Set Factors Equal: Factor the quadratic equation.\newline(x+8)(x6)=0(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0.
  7. Solve for x: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.\newlinex+8=0x + 8 = 0 or x6=0x - 6 = 0.
  8. Solve for x: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.\newlinex+8=0x + 8 = 0 or x6=0x - 6 = 0.Solve for x.\newlinex=8x = -8 or x=6x = 6.\newlineSince age can't be negative, x=6x = 6 is the correct solution.
