(2x+1)=Jeremy´s age
(2x+3)=Sam´s age.
we suggest this equation:
(2x+1)(2x+3)=783
4x²+6x+2x+3=783
4x²+8x-780=0
x²+2x-195=0

We solve this quadratic equation:
x=[-2⁺₋√(4-4*1*(-195))]/2=(-2⁺₋28)/2

x₁=(-2-28)/2=-15 this solution is not valid.
x₂=(-2+28)/2=13

Jeremy´s age=2x+1=2*13+1=27
Sam´s age=2x+3=2*13+3=29

Answer:

5 - x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x)=25-x^2

g(x)=x+5

\begin{aligned}\left(\dfrac{f}{g}\right)(x) & = \dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}\\\\ & = \dfrac{25-x^2}{x+5}\\\\& = \dfrac{(5-x)(5+x)}{(x+5)}\\\\& = \dfrac{(5-x)(x+5)}{(x+5)}\\\\& = 5-x\end{aligned}
