Few 9th Grade Math Problems are as follows:

### Solved Examples

Question 1: The sum of the age of two sisters is 31. The younger sister was 3 years younger than the older sibling five years ago. How old are they now?
Solution:

Let the age of two sisters x and y (Let us assume that y is younger sister).

Since sum of the age of two sisters is 31, So x + y = 31

x + y = 31  ............(1)

Five years ago:

The age of two sisters x - 5 and y - 5

Now
y - 5 = (x - 5) - 3

y - 5 = x - 8

or y = x - 3   ....(2)

Substitute the value of y in equation (1)

x + x - 3 = 31

2x = 34

or x = 17

Again substitute the value of x in equation (2)

y = 17 - 3 = 14

Therefore both the sisters are of 14 and 17.

Question 2: A rectangular shape garden is 1 feet longer than it is wide and has area of 90 sq feet. Find the dimensions of the garden.
Solution:

Let x be the width of the garden, so x + 1 is the length.

Area of garden = 90 sq. feet (given)
We know that, Area of rectangle = Length $\times$ Width

=> 90 = x(x + 1)

x$^2$ + x - 90 = 0 (which is quadratic equation)

Solve for x
x$^2$ + 10x - 9x - 90 = 0

x(x + 10) - 9(x + 10) = 0

(x - 9)(x + 10) = 0

=> x = 9  or  x = -10

Length can not be negative, so neglect x = -10

So x = 9, is the width of the garden and 10 is the length of the rectangular garden.

Question 2: Solve for x; $\sqrt{x - 9}$ = 10 (Answer: x = 109)
