Answer:

The man is 27 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can create a system of equations.
Let x = the age of the man
Let y = the age of his son
You can create the following equations based on what was given in the problem:
1. x = y + 18
2. (x - 3) = 4(y - 3)
You can simplify the second equation:
x - 3 = 4y - 12
x = 4y - 9
Then, solve the system of equations:
x = y + 18
-
x = 4y - 9
____________
0 = -3x + 27
The son's age is 9, therefore the father is 27 years old.

I can't figure out the second answer please help!!!

Choice A is one of the answers. Nice work. This is because x+x+x turns into 3x.

Choice D is the other answer because 2(x+1) + x = 2x+2+x = 3x+2. You can find this through trial and error. Or you could graph y = x+x+x+2 and y = 2(x+1)+2 to find that they are the same exact identical diagonal line. A non-graph approach would be to set up a table of values to see that the two tables are identical.

Which is equivalent to (4xy-3x)^2, and what type of special product is it?
mars1129 [50]

It's not the difference of squares, rather it is the square of a difference. That leaves a perfect square trinomial, which narrows your selection to two choices. An expression with 2 terms is not a trinomial, so that further narrows your selection. The appropriate choice is

... (4xy -3z)² = 16x²y² -24xyz +9z², a perfect square trinomial

_____

The expression you have in your problem statement has no z term, so none of the choices is applicable to that one.

Why the output is a zero number ?<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28x%20-%203%29%20%5Ctimes%20%28x%20%20%20%2B%204%29%20%3

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x - 3) × (x + 4) = 0, that is

(x - 3)(x + 4) = 0

The zero product indicates that (x - 3) = 0 or (x + 4) = 0

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

Thus if x = 3, then

(3 - 3)(x + 4) = 0 × (x + 4) = 0

Similarly if x = - 4 the output is zero
