Let's write a system of equations. We will use D for Derek's age and S for Sarah's age:

D = 4S

(D - 2) + (S - 2) = 36

We can simplify the second equation:

D + S - 4 = 36

D + S = 40

Now we can use substitution to plug 4S in for D in the second equation:

(4S) + S = 40

5S = 40

S = 8

Sarah is 8 years old.

Factor.
slava [35]

Answer:

The answer is option C

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 7x + 10

To factor the expression rewrite - 7x as a difference

That's

x² - 5x - 2x + 10

<u>Factor out x from the expression</u>

x( x - 5) - 2x + 10

<u>Factor - 2 from the expression</u>

x(x - 5) - 2( x - 5)

Factor out x - 5 from the expression

The final answer is

<h3>( x - 2)(x - 5)</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which solution of the equation can be determined from the graph? The solution is? The set of the other solution is?
Gennadij [26K]

SOLUTION

The given equation is

x^3+3x^2-16x-48=0

From the given graph, one of the solution of the equation is

x=4

Since x=4 is a solution to the equation it follows that x-4 is a factor

The given equatin can be simplified as

x^3+3x^2-16x-48=(x-4)(x+4)(x+3)

Therefefore other solutions are

x=-4,x=-3
