Add 5 to that.
So he’s now 17 and she’s 14

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{5x^2+8x+7}{4x}$

Divide each term on the numerator by 4x

= $\frac{5x^2}{4x}$ + $\frac{8x}{4x}$ + $\frac{7}{4x}$

= $\frac{5x}{4}$ + 2 + $\frac{7}{4x}$

Answer: ln ( 40) *100

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting 140 in the equation,

140 = 100 + e^(.01q)

40 = e^(.01q)

Take the natural log of bot hsides

ln ( 40) = .01q

q= ln ( 40 ) * 100

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation <br><br> x^2-3x+2=0

Flura [38]

Answer:

x= 1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is $x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ . Here a=1, b=-3, and c=2.

Substitute and you'll have:

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} =\frac{3+/-\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(1)(2)} }{2(1)}=\frac{3+/-\sqrt{9-8} }{2)}$

$\frac{3+/-\sqrt{1} }{2}=\frac{3+/-\sqrt{1} }{2}=\frac{3+/-1 }{2}= 2 , 1$
