Answer:
x^2 -x -2 = (x -2)(x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor x^2 -x -2, you look for factors of -2 that have a sum of -1:
-2 = (-1)(2) = (1)(-2) . . . . . the latter pair has a sum of -1
Then these are the constants in the binomial factors:
x^2 -x -2 = (x +1)(x -2)

Let x is Jiri's age
2x is Pamela's age
x + 2x = 33
3x =33
x = 33/3
x =11
Answer: Jiri's age is 11
Convert the mixed number 2 1/4 into an improper fraction: 9/4.
Then multiply this 9/4 by 3: 27/4, or 6 3/4.
