Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 7 = 8x - 4\\

Collect like terms and simplify

5x-8x =-4+7\\-3x =3

Divide both sides of the equation by -3

\frac{-3x}{-3} = \frac{3}{-3} \\\\x =-1

18 A woman is 3 times as old as her son.
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The son in 12 years old and the woman is 36 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the woman’s current age be w years and son’s age be s years. According to the question, the woman is 3 times as old as her son then, w=3s Also, it is given that 8 years ago the product of their ages were 112 Therefore, (w-8)(s-8)=112 (3s-8)(s-8)=112 Solving for s, we get 3 s^{2}-32s-48=0 By using quadratic equation s=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}=\frac{-(-32)+\sqrt{32^{2}-4(3)(-48)}}{2(3)}=\frac{-(-32)+\sqrt{1570}}{6}=\frac{71,62}{6}=11.9 \cong 12 s=12 We know that w=3s w=3 \times 12 = 36. Hence, the woman’s age is 36 years and the son’s age is 12 years.

Part A: Create a third-degree polynomial in standard form. How do you know it is in standard form? (5 points) Part B: Explain th
OleMash [197]

Answer:

look down

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

5x 3y^3 2z

I know it is in standard form because there are no more like terms.

Part B: The closure property with regards to polynomials states that polynomials are always closed under multiplication. The coefficients and the exponents can change unlike in addition and subtraction. The variables and coefficients also automatically fit in a polynomial.

Example of multiplication under polynomials.

A*1 = A

A = 6,

6*1=6

Can my two questions be answered? Here are the ingredients for making fish pie for 6 people. 180 g flour 240 g flour 4 eggs 180
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

a. 120 grams.

b. 270 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. A fish pie for 6 will need to use 180 grams of flour. That means that a fish pie for 1 will use 180 / 6 = 30 grams of flour. Claire needs to make a fish pie for 4, so she will use 30 * 4 = 120 grams of flour.

b. A fish pie for 6 people requires 180 ml milk. That means that a fish pie for 1 will use 180 / 6 = 30 millilitres of milk. Ian needs to make a fish pie for 9, so he will use 30 * 9 = 270 ml of milk.

Hope this helps!
