I would substitute y = x^2
4y^2 -21y+20=0
Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are 35 , 36 and 37 years respectively.
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are <u>consecutive whole numbers</u> and Stan is the youngest and Wayne is the oldest.
So, lets assume that Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are 
and 
Given that, the sum of their ages is 108. So, the equation will be.....
So, Stan's age is 35 years , Mark's age is (35+1)= 36 years and Wayne's age is (35+2)= 37 years.

we sniled it to the lete by 2 and then we snifted it down by
6.3-4.6=1.7%. You subtract the percentages to find the total percentage after the percentage dropped 4.6 from 6.3
Answer: the fixed cost to rent the limousine is $200
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the fixed cost rent the limousine.
Let y represent the cost of of hiring the driver of the limousine per hour.
It cost $500 to rent a limousine for 5 hours. This means that
x + 5y = 500 - - - - - - - - - - -1
It costs 800 to rent a limousine for 10 hours. This means that
x + 10y = 800 - - - - - - - - - - -2
Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes
- 5y = - 300
y = - 300 /- 5
y = 60
Substituting y = 60 into equation 1, it becomes
x + 5 × 60 = 500
x + 300 = 500
x = 500 - 300
x = 200
