Melanie: 15 years old

Kevin: 5 years old

Assume Kevin's present age is x.

That means that 3 years ago, his age would be x - 3.

Melanie's age would be 6(x - 3).

Same thing for 5 years into the future:

Kevin's age would be x + 5.

Melanie's age would be 2(x + 5).

The two equations we have here are:

\left \{ {{x + 5 = 2(x + 5)} \atop {x - 3 = 6(x - 3)}} \right.

By subtracting both equations, we are simplified to:

8 = -4x + 28

By solving the equation, we get x = 5.

That means that Kevin's current age is 5 years old.

Melanie's age could be calculated by substituting Kevins'.

6(x - 3) --> 6(5 - 3) --> 12

Since that was 3 years ago, you need to add 3 to 12 to get her current age.

12 + 3 = 15

Melanie's current age is 15 years old.

Simplify the following expression -5[(x^3+1)(x+4)]
katrin [286]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

-5[ (x³+1)(x+4) ] = -5[ x³*(x+4) + 1*(x+4) ]

      = -5 [ x³*x + x³*4 + 1*x + 1*4 ]

      = -5 [ x⁴ + 4x³ + x + 4]

      = -5*x⁴ + (-5)*4x³ + (-5)*x + (-5) * 4

      = -5x⁴ - 20x³ - 5x - 20

From a pile of 100 pennies(P), 100 nickels(N), and 100 dimes(D), select 21 coins which have a total value of exactly $1.00. In y
Murrr4er [49]
So, you need 10 penny, 4 nickles and 7 dimes
Lets, check it.
According to the question,
total coins = 21
7 + 4 + 10 = 21
21 = 21.........................................true
Now,
their value should equal $1.00 = 100 cents
Penny = 1 cent
nickle = 5 cent
dime = 10 cent,
So,
(10 *1) + (4 * 5) + (7 * 10) = 100
10 + 20 + 70 = 100
100 = 100......................................true

 
So, you need 10 penny, 4 nickle, and 7 dimes
