5 less than (-5) of 1/4 of my age (age/4) is 12 (=12)
-5+a/4=12
add 5 to both sides
a/4=17
times 4 both isdes
a=68
your age is 68
Answer:
x=-5, y=-8. (-5, -8).
Step-by-step explanation:
-x+2y=-11
5x-8y=39
---------------
5(-x+2y)=5(-11)
5x-8y=39
---------------------
-5x+10y=-55
5x-8y=39
--------------------
2y=-16
y=-16/2
y=-8
-x+2(-8)=-11
-x-16=-11
-x=-11+16
-x=5
x=-5
Answer:
$7.67
Step-by-step explanation:
So if 8 pens cost $4.72, one pen would cost $0.59. 0.59 x 13 will be equal to 7.67.
Find the possible rational roots and use synthetic division to find the first zero.
I chose x=1 (which represents the factor "x-1")
1║2 -7 -13 63 -45
║ 2 -5 -18 45
2 -5 -18 45 0
(x-1) is a factor, (2x³ - 5x² - 18x + 45) is the other factor.
Use synthetic division on the decomposed polynomial to find the next zero.
I chose x = 3 (which represents the factor "x-3")
3║2 -5 -18 45
║ 6 3 -45
2 1 -15 0
Using synthetic division, we discovered that (x-1), (x-3), & (2x² + x -15) are factors. Take the new decomposed polynomial (2x² + x -15) and find the last two factors using any method.
Final Answer: (x-1)(x-3)(x+3)(2x-5)
