Bob age =x

Mary age= x+5

If we sum the ages

x+(x+5)=39

2x+5=39

then we clear x

2x=39-5

2x=34

x=34/2

x=17

Bob age =17

Mary age=17+5=22

F(x) = 5x2 − 70x + 258. Complete the square.
astraxan [27]
5(x^2 - 14x + 258/5)
= 5((x-7)^2 -49+258/5)
= 5((x-7)^2 + 13/5)
= 5(x-7)^2 + 13
I belive this is how it should be done

You order two tacos and a salad. The salad costs $2.50. You pay 8% sales tax and leave a $3 tip. You pay a total of $13.80. How
denis23 [38]
Let T = cost of a taco
Let S = cost of a salad

(2 tacos + 1 salad) + (8 % of 2 tacos and 1 salad) + 3 = 13.80

2T + S + .08(2T + S) + 3 = 13.80
2T + 2.5 + .08(2T + 2.5) + 3 = 13.80
2T + 2.5 + .16T + .20 + 3 = 13.80
2.16T + 5.7 = 13.80
2.16T = 8.10
T = 8.10/2.16 = $3.75

Check: 2T + S + .08(2T + S) + 3 = 13.80
2(3.75) + 2.50 + .08(2(3.75)+2.5) + 3 = 13.80
7.5 + 2.5 + .08(10) + 3 = 13.8
13.80 = 13.80
