How to do answer 16, 19 and 21? show me the solutions.

16) the boy is 11 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

16) Let the boy’s present age be b.

b+5 = 4(b-9)^2, or

b+5 = 4[b^2–18b+81] = 4b^2–72b+324, or

4b^2–73b+319 = 0, or

(4b-29)(x-11) = 0, or

b = 11 or 7.25 years. The second value is inadmissible.

So the boy is 11 years old, now.

a28=58

step-by-step explanation:

a1=a1+(n-1)d

a28= 4+ (28-1)2

a28=4+(27)(2)

a28=4+54

a28=58
