Mathematics

Answer:

Jiri is 12 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

To start off we need to make an equation. Since we know both of their ages add up to 48 and that Pamela's age is 3 times Jiri's age we can say x(Jiri's Age) + 3x(Pamela's age) =48 --> x+3x=48

Now we have the equation x+3x=48, and we need to solve it.

First combine like terms

4x=48

Now divide both sides by 4

x=12

And now since we are using Jiri's age as x we know Jiri is 12 years old.

One eighth of a number is ten less than one third of the number. Find the number.
GarryVolchara [31]
X/8 - 10 = x/3

bring the values with the variable on one side

x/3 - x/8 = 10

find a common denominator and subtract these fractions

8x/24 - 3x/24 = -10

now subtract fractions

8x - 3x = 5x

5x/24 = -10

multiply both sides by 24

5x = -240

divide both sides by 5

x = -48

the number is -48

Answer:

P+Q=5x^2+4

Q-P=-x^2-4x+16

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

P=3x^2+2x-6

Q=2x^2-2x+10

Calculation of P+Q:

P+Q=3x^2+2x-6+2x^2-2x+10

now, we can combine like terms

P+Q=3x^2+2x^2+2x-2x+10-6

P+Q=5x^2+0+4

P+Q=5x^2+4

Calculation of Q-P:

Q-P=2x^2-2x+10-(3x^2+2x-6)

Firstly, we will distribute negative sign

Q-P=2x^2-2x+10-3x^2-2x+6

now, we can combine like terms

Q-P=2x^2-3x^2-2x-2x+6+10

Q-P=-x^2-4x+16
