if ed is 7 years older than ted and is 3/2 times eds age, than we have to find out how much dose 2 represent in the equation 3/2 so we know that ed is seven years older than ted. so that means that if the equation 3/2 was 1/2, 1 would represent 7 years. (i hope your following me) so if 1 represents 7 than 2 must represent 14 and that would be the age of ted because in the equation 3/2 the 2 would represent teds age. and if the 2 represents teds age than 3 would be eds age. so 7 x 3 = 21. (this is my first time answering a question so sorry if i'm confusing)
Unfortunately, Tashara, you have not provided enuf info from which to calculate the values of a and b. If you were to set <span>F(x)=x(x+a)(x-b) = to 0, then:
x=0, x=-a x=-b
but this doesn't answer your question. Double check that you have shared all aspects of this question.</span>
