Write an original word problem that can be solved using a quadratic equation. Then solve the problem.
Task 3. Translate each problem into a mathematical equation, then solve. 1. I am 24 years old. My age is 2 less than twice my sister's age. 2. Arvin has a bake shop. He sold 85 cakes today. That is 16 cakes more than yesterday. How many cakes did he sell yesterday? 3. Ann has 56 stamps that are 6 less than one half of my stamps. How many stamps do I have? 4. This month, Chiz earned only 3/4 of his earnings last month. If his earnings last month is P12,600, how much did he earn this month? 5. In Baguio City, a horse ride costs P120.00 per person for the first 30 minutes and P50.00 for every additional 10 minutes. If you spent P270.00 for a horse ride, for how long did you ride? Task 4. Write an equation for each problem and then solve it. 1. Four friends share a box of pens. Each receives three pens. Write and solve the equation to find the number of pens in the box. 2. There are 56 pupils. Thirty-six of them joined the field trip. Write an equation to find the number of pupils who did not join the field trip. 3. A car travels at an average speed of 36 km per hour. Write and solve the equation to predict how many hours it will take to travel 432 km if it continues at this speed.
