Let us denote the years of Mary with M and the years that Al have with A.
<span>We know that the sum of Mary and Al's age is 48. So, we can write:
M+A=48 (1)
</span><span>We also know that twelve years ago, Mary was twice as old as Al. So we can write:
M-12=2*A (2)
From the first equation (1): M=48-A
Let put this in the second equation:
48-A-12=2A
36=3A
A=12
M=48-12=36
</span>

9x^2 -c =d

add c to each side

9x^2 = c+d

divide by 9

x^2=(c+d)/9

take the square root on each side

x = +- sqrt ((c+d)/9)

simplify

x = +- 1/3 sqrt (c+d)

Answer: 1/3 sqrt (c+d), - 1/3 sqrt (c+d)

Match the pairs of values of f(x) and g(x) with the corresponding values of h(x) if h(x) = f(x) ÷ g(x). Tiles f(x) = x2 − 9, and

vitfil [10]

For this case we must solve each of the functions.
We have then:

f (x) = x2 - 9, and g (x) = x - 3
h (x) = (x2 - 9) / (x - 3)
h (x) = ((x-3) (x + 3)) / (x - 3)
h (x) = x + 3

f (x) = x2 - 4x + 3, and g (x) = x - 3
h (x) = (x2 - 4x + 3) / (x - 3)
h (x) = ((x-3) (x-1)) / (x - 3)
h (x) = x-1

f (x) = x2 + 4x - 5, and g (x) = x - 1
h (x) = (x2 + 4x - 5) / (x - 1)
h (x) = ((x + 5) (x-1)) / (x - 1)
h (x) = x + 5

f (x) = x2 - 16, and g (x) = x - 4
h (x) = (x2 - 16) / (x - 4)
h (x) = ((x-4) (x + 4)) / (x - 4)
h (x) = x + 4
