<h3>Answer: x^2+3x-4</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

You can use the FOIL rule to expand out (x+4)(x-1), but here's another way you could do it.

Let y = x+4

This means we replace (x+4) with y to get y(x-1)

Distribute the y term through to get yx-y which can be written as x(y) - 1(y)

After this, replace y with x+4 getting x(x+4)-1(x+4)

Distribute a second time and simplify like so

x(x+4)-1(x+4)

x^2+4x-1x-4

x^2+3x-4

Answer:Mark Is 9 years old; Christine is 5 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Present age

LET mark age be x

Christine be x-4 yrs

In 3 yrs Time

Mark will be x+3 yrs old

Christine will be (x -4 +3) = x-1 years old

Also, In 3 years time

Christine = 2/3 Mark

such that

x-1 = 2/3(x+3)

x -1= 2x+6 / 3

3x -3= 2x+6

3X--2X = 6+3

=X=9

Mark Is 9 years old

Christine is x -4 = 9-4=5 years old

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that is a right angle which is 90 degrees.

we know one angle is 30 degrees.

So take 90- 30 = 60

6*10 = 60 and 60+30=90

x = 10

This isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length , a, that are longer than the length of the base , b. The perimeter of the

Sholpan [36]

We are give the equation of the perimeter of the triangle as follows:
2a + b = 15.7
where b represents the base.

Now, if we want to calculate the length of the base, all we have to do is isolate the b in one side of the equation as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2a

We know that a = 6.3 cm, therefore, the length of the base can be calculated as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2(6.3) = 3.1 cm
