X = Heather's age NOW
x - 2 = her age 2 years ago
x - 3 = her age 3 years ago

\frac{1}{2}(x-2)+\frac{1}{3}(x-3)=20

The Least Common Multiple of 2 and 3 is 6.  Multiply both sides by 6.

6\cdot\frac{1}{2}(x-2)+6\cdot\frac{1}{3}=6\cdot20 \\3(x-2)+2(x-3)=120 \\ 3x-6+2x-6=120 \\ 5x-12=120 \\ 5x=132 \\ x=\frac{132}{5}=26.4

The answer is B. (2x + 5)(x + 1)You could answer this by expanding each answer until you found one that matched 2x^2 + 7x + 5, but I will only show how the answer expands:
2x × x = 2x^2
5 × x = 5x
2x × 1 = 2x
5 × 1 = 5

So in total those brackets expand to 2x^2 + 7x + 5. I hope this helps!

Answer:

FG = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

EF + FG = EG ← substitute values into equation, that is

6 + FG = 21 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

FG = 21 - 6 = 15
