Answer:Robert's minimum age is 11 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent George's age.

Let y represent Edward's age.

Let z represent Robert's age.

George is twice as old as Edward. It means that

x = 2y

Edward's age exceeds Robert's age by 4 years. It means that

z = y - 4

If the sum of the three ages is at least 56 years, it means that

x + y + z ≥ 56 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 2y and z = y - 4 into equation 1, it becomes

2y + y + y - 4 ≥ 56

4y - 4 ≥ 56

4y ≥ 56 + 4

y ≥ 60/4

y ≥ 15

z = y - 4 = 15 - 4

z ≥ 11

Advocard [28]

Answer: x³-2x²-5x-6=(x-1)*(x-3)*(x+2).

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3-2x^2-5x+6=\\\\x^3-2x^2+x-x-5x+6=\\\\(x^3-2x^2+x)-6x+6=\\\\x*(x^2-2x+1)-6*(x-1)=\\\\x*(x-1)^2-6*(x-1)=\\\\(x-1)*(x*(x-1)-6)=\\\\(x-1)*(x^2-x-6)=\\\\(x-1)*(x^2-x-2x+2x-6)=\\\\(x-1)*(x^2-3x+2x-6)=\\\\(x-1)*(x*(x-3)+2*(x-3))=\\\\(x-1)*(x-3)*(x+2).

Solve for x ax+3b=2f
Paladinen [302]

You said                                  ax + 3b = 2f

Subtract  3b  from each side:  ax         = 2f - 3b

Divide each side by 'a' :             x        = (2f - 3b) / a

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 interior angles of a triangle = 180°, hence

x + x + 10 + 3x + 20 = 180

5x + 30 = 180 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

5x = 150 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 30
