x = 8 + y

B. What expression represents bills age in 4 years. What expression represents Leslie's age in 4 years?
x+4 = 2(y+4)

C. What equation can you write based on the above given information?
You can have 2 linear equations with 2 unknowns.

D. What's bills current age? What is Leslie's current age?

Solve for the roots in simplest form by completing the square <br><br> x^2-12x+20=0
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

x = 10 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 - 12 x + 20 = 0

Hint: | Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.

Subtract 20 from both sides:

x^2 - 12 x = -20

Hint: | Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.

Add 36 to both sides:

x^2 - 12 x + 36 = 16

Hint: | Factor the left hand side.

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 6)^2 = 16

Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left hand side.

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 6 = 4 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

x = 10 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

Answer: x = 10 or x = 2

Nastasia [14]

Solution:

we are given that

In a certain grocery store, strawberries cost $6.40 per pound ( 6.40 dollars/lb ).

we have been asked to find the cost per ounce?

As we know that

16 oz=1 lb

so we will divide by 16 to get the cost per ounce.

strawberries cost $6.40 per pound so for 1 oz it will cost =\frac{6.40}{16}= 0.4$

Hence cost per ounce is 0.40 $

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

(x + 2) (5x + 3)(5x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

25x^2(x+2)-9(x+2) \\  \\  = (x + 2)(25 {x}^{2}  - 9) \\  \\  = (x + 2) \{  ({5x})^{2}  -  {(3)}^{2}  \} \\  \\  = (x + 2) \{(5x + 3)(5x - 3) \}\\  \\  =  \purple{ \bold{(x + 2) (5x + 3)(5x - 3) }} \\ are \: the \: required \: factors
