Andy's age            = x
Jeff's age              = x-2
Andy's age in five years            = x+5
Jeff's age in five years              = x-2+5
The sum of their ages in five years        = x+5 + x-2+5

                                       x + 5 + x - 2 + 5 = 40
                                         2x + 8 = 40
                                         <u>    -8        -8</u>
                                              2x = 32
                                             <u> :2      :2</u>
                                               x = 16
x - 2 = 14

<u>Andy is 16 years old and Jeff is 14 years old</u>

if alpha and beta are zeroes of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = x2-x-2 then find a polynomial whose zeroes are 2alpha + 1 and 2b
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, as alpha and beta are zeroes of

x^2-x-2

it means that their sum is alpha+beta=1 and their product alpha*beta=-2.

The polynomial whose zeroes are 2 alpha + 1 and 2 beta + 1, means that the sum of its zeroes is 2(alpha+beta)+2=2+2=4

and the product is (2alpha+1)(2beta+1)=4 alpha*beta + 2(alpha+beta) + 1 = 4 * (-2) + 2*(1) +1 = -8 + 2 + 1 = -5. so one of these polynomials is

\Large \boxed{\sf \bf \  \ x^2-4x-5 \ \ }

Thank you.

Answer: An equality the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities. Terms A common technique for simplifying algebraic expressions. When combining like terms, such as 2x and 3x, we add their coefficients. For example, 2x + 3x = (2+3)x = 5x. The distributive property It is used to solve expressions easily by distributing a number to the numbers given in brackets. For example, if we apply the distributive property of multiplication to solve the expression: 4(2 + 4), we would solve it in the following way: 4(2 + 4) = (4 × 2) + (4 × 4) = 8 + 16 = 24. Two step equations that have decimals and fractions as the coefficient of the variable and constant term are said to be two step equations with decimals and fractions. A few examples of two step equations with fractions and decimals are: 0.3 x + 2/3 = 1. 3x - 0.5 = 1.2.

8<br> Which expression is equivalent to 4.8 + 2.2w – 1.4w + 2.4?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

7.2 + 0.8w

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms.

Here Like terms: i) 2.2w and (-1.4w)

                         II)   4.8 and 2.4

4.8 + 2.2w - 1.4w + 2.4 = 4.8 + 2.4 + 2.2w - 1.4w

                                     = 7.2 + 0.8w
