2^(2x) = (2^x)^2 ;
2^(x+2) = (2^x) × 4 ;
Let be 2^x = y > 0 ;
y^2 + 4y - 12 = 0 ;
a = 1 ;
b = 4 ;
c = - 12 ;
b^2 - 4ac = 16 + 48 = 64 ;
y1 = ( - 4 + 8 ) / 2 = 2 > 0 ( correct ) ;
y2 = ( - 4 - 8 ) / 2 = - 6 > 0 ( false ) ;
Then, 2^x = 2 ;
x = 1.

Robert's dog is 4 years older than Karen's cat. In 3 years, the sum of the ages of Robert's dog and Karen's cat will be 13. How

mylen [45]

Answer:

5.5 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D represent present age of Robert's dog and C represent present age of Karen's cat.

We have been given that Robert's dog is 4 years older than Karen's cat. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$D=C+4...(1)$

We are also told that in 3 years, the sum of the ages of Robert's dog and Karen's cat will be 13. After 3 years age of dog and cat would be $D+3$ and $C+3$ respectively.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$D+3+C+3=13...(2)$

From equation (1), we will get:

$C=D-4$

Upon substituting this value in equation (2), we will get:

$D+3+D-4+3=13$

Combine like terms:

$2D+2=13$

$2D+2-2=13-2$

$2D=11$

$\frac{2D}{2}=\frac{11}{2}$

$D=5.5$

Therefore, Robert's dog is 5.5 years old right now.

valina [46]

Answer:

140 + 96 m

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 weeks in 1 month.

Therefore:

Jonny has $50 in a savings account. Each week, he deposits $13 in the account.

$50 + $13 × 4m

The algebraic expression is given as:

50 + 52m

Jonny's brother has $90 in a saving account.

Each week, he deposits $11 in the account.

The algebraic expression is given as:

$90 + $11 × 4m

90 + 44m

An algebraic expression to describe how much money Jonny and his brother will have in their accounts after m months is written as:

Amount Jonny has + Amount his brother has

50 + 52m + 90 + 44m

= 50 + 90 + 52m + 44m

= 140 + 96 m
