Answer:

Brother is 70.5 and sister is 64.5

Step-by-step explanation:

you will need to set up a simple equation and give out variables.

Girls age = 6-x

Brother's age= x

the you will take those 2 and add them and place them equal to 135:

6-x+x=135

6-2x+6=135+6

The 6 cancels out

2x=141

2x/2=141/2

x=70.5

The brother's age would be 70.5 then and the girl's would be 64.5

Find the area of the rectangle with a length of (x^2-2) and a width of (2x^2-x+2)
Katyanochek1 [597]
Area=legnth times width

so multiply them together use distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac so
in this problem
(a+b)(c+d+e)=(a+b)(c)+(a+b)(d)+(a+b)(e)

so
x^2-2 times (2x^2-x+2)=(x^2)(2x^2-x+2)-(2)(2x^2-x+2)=(2x^4-x^3+2x^2)-(4x^2-2x+4)
add like terms
2x^4-x^3+(2x^2-4x^2)-2x+4
2x^4-x^3-2x^2-2x+4
