Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 8x + 15 = 0

x² + 5x + 3x + 15 = 0

x x (x + 5) + 3x + 15 = 0

xx (x + 5) +3 (x + 5) = 0

(x + 5) × (x + 3) = 0 → x + 5 = 0 x + 3 = 0

x = -5

x + 3 = 0

x = -5

x = -3

x1 = -5

x2 = -3

Hope this helped ! :)

Commutaive property says
ab=ba or expanded to say
abc=cba

associative peropty =
a(bc)=(ab)c

so using that
first mix them up knowing that we can move the parenthaseese
all possible equivelnt ones are
4*(5*3)
(3*5)*4
3*(5*4)

Four brothers and their sister have the average age 7. Four brothers have the average age 6. How old is the sister?

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

11 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

If four brothers have the average age 6, then the sum of their ages is

$4\cdot 6=24$

years.

Let x years be the age of sister. If four brothers and their sister have the average age 7, then

$\dfrac{24+x}{5}=7.$

Multiply this equation by 5:

$24+x=35\Rightarrow x=35-24=11.$

The sister is 11 years old.
