Answer:
Present Time
Let X= Eric's age (4/5)X= Seth's age
Question: What are their ages now?________________________________________________________________________
Past (21 years ago)
X-21 =Eric's age (4/5)X-21=Seth's age
2*[4/5(X-21]=Eric's age
Therefore, X-21= 2*[4/5(X)-21]=Eric's age Substitution
_______________________________________________________________________
X-21= 8/5 X - 42 Solve for "X" by adding 42 to both sides.
X-21+42=(8/5) X
X+21 = (8/5)X Subtract "X" from both sides.
21=(3/5)X Multiply both sides of equation by reciprocal of (3/5), which is 5/3
21*(5/3)= X Finish the problem to find value of "X," which is Eric's age.
Then find 4/5 (X)= Seth's age

Answer:
(x² + 4x + 2)(2x² + 3x - 4) equals 2x⁴ + 11x³ + 12x² - 10x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>(x² + 4x + 2)(2x² + 3x - 4)</em>
Multiply each term in the first parentheses into the expression in the second parentheses.
<em>2x⁴ + 3x³ - 4x² + 8x³ + 12x² - 16x + 4x² + 6x - 8</em>
Combine like terms.
<em>2x⁴ + 11x³ + 12x² - 10x - 8</em>
So, your answer would be letter choice B.

Answer:
Height of tree 3 years ago: 24 inches
Height of tree now: 54 inches
54-24 = 30
The tree grew 30 inches in 3 years.
So on average it grew 10 INCHES PER YEAR.
Let me know if this helps!
55mph.
you can solve it using the equation distance=speed x time
your total distance is 714, and you have 2 trains, one traveling some speed, x, and one traveling x+8, both traveling for 7 hours.
your equation would look like this

and you can then solve for x, which would be 47. this is the speed of the slower train, but 47+8=55 with give you the speed of the faster train.
