Answer:

9 years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dotty is 51 years old and Esmerelda is 23 now.

Now, x years ago the age of Dotty was (51 - x) years and the age of Esmerelda was (23 - x) years.

Assume that x years ago Dotty was 3 times Esmerelda's age.

So, we can write the equation as

3(23 - x) = 51 - x

⇒ 69 - 3x = 51 - x

⇒ 69 - 51 = 3x - x

⇒ 18 = 2x

⇒ x = 9 years.

Therefore, 9 years ago Dotty was 3 times Esmerelda's age. (Answer)

How many decimals are in a product
enot [183]

Answer: 2 decimal digits

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying decimals, placement of the decimal point is very important. Since there is one decimal digit in each factor, there must be two decimal digits in the product. This is because tenths x tenths = hundredths

Hope this helps and good luck! :)

What constant term is necessary to complete the perfect square trinomial pictured in the algebra tiles?
gayaneshka [121]
The algebra tiles show two equal factors. They are (x + 4).


Then, the perfect square is the product of the two equal factors, (x + 4) * (x +4).


That is (x + 4)^2.


Then develop that perfect square to find the constant term.


(x + 4)^2 = x^2 + 8x + 16.


That means that the constant term needed to complete the trinomial is 16.
