Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the age of Greg's brother (Gabe) is x years, and let Greg's age by y years. Since Greg is 10 years older than his brother gabe, then:

y = x + 10           (1)

Also. Greg is 3 times as old as Gabe, hence:

y = 3x                 (2)

From equation 1 and equation 2:

y = x + 10 = 3x

Hence:

3x = x + 10

Subtracting x from both sides gives:

3x - x = x + 10 - x

2x = 10

Dividing by 2:

2x/2 = 10/2

x = 5 years

y = x + 10 = 5 + 10 = 15 years

Therefore Gabe is 5 years old and Greg is 15 years old

Suppose the equation of the axis of symmetry for a quadratic function is x = 3 and one of the x-intercepts is 8. What is the oth
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry divides the quadratic exactly in half. If one x-intercept is 8, then the other will be the same distance on the other side of it. 8 is 5 from 3 where the axis of symmetry is. So 3-5 = -2. -2 will be the other intercept.

Factor x3 + x2 + x + 1 by grouping. What is the resulting expression?
Scilla [17]
To factor by grouping, you group up the 1st 2 terms together and the last 2 terms together and then factor those pieces.

(x^3 + x^2) + (x + 1)
x^2(x + 1) + 1(x +1) - now factor out the (x + 1)
(x + 1)(x^2 + 1) - final answer
