Age of Jen is 13.6 years old

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the age of Jack and "y" be the age of Jen

Given that This Christmas, your brother Jack will be 2 years from being twice as old as your sister Jen

The above sentence can be written mathematically as:

Jack age + 2 = twice of age of Jen

x + 2 = 2y\\\\x = 2y - 2---- eqn 1

The sum of Jacks age and three times Jen's age is 66

Jack age + three times Jen age = 66

x + 3y = 66 ---- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

2y - 2 + 3y = 66

5y - 2 = 66

5y = 68

<h3>y = 13.6</h3>

Thus age of Jen is 13.6 years old

Factor 6x4 – 5x2 + 12x2 – 10 by grouping. What is the resulting expression?
lisov135 [29]
Your answer would be the last option, (6x² - 5)(x² + 2).
This is because when you expand it, you get:
6x² × x² = 6x⁴
6x² × 2 = 12x²
-5 × x² = -5x²
-5 × 2 = -10
Which are all the correct terms.

I hope this helps!

Eyan bought 234 pounds of apples for $1.32 per pound, 112 pounds of peaches for $1.20 per pound, and some tomatoes, all from a g
9966 [12]

Answer:

the  money spend on tomatoes is $4.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the money spend on tomatoes is shown below

Let the money spend on tomatoes be x

So

2 \frac{3}{4} \times \$1.32 + 1\frac{1}{2} \times \$1.20 + x = \$9.63\\\\

$3.63 + $1.80  + x = $9.63

x = $9.63 - $3.63 + $1.80

= $4.20

Hence, the  money spend on tomatoes is $4.20

\bf sin(2\theta)=2sin(\theta)cos(\theta)\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;sin(2x)-\sqrt{3}cos(x)=0\implies 2sin(x)cos(x)-cos(x)\sqrt{3}=0&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\stackrel{\stackrel{common}{factor}}{cos(x)}[2sin(x)-\sqrt{3}]=0\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\

\bf cos(x)=0\implies \measuredangle x=&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;\frac{\pi }{2}\\\\&#10;\frac{3\pi }{2}&#10;\end{cases}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;2sin(x)-\sqrt{3}=0\implies 2sin(x)=\sqrt{3}\implies sin(x)=\cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\measuredangle x=&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;\frac{\pi }{3}\\\\ \frac{2\pi }{3}&#10;\end{cases}
