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)

Answer:

Well, I'm not really sure what to do, but if you just need the numbers to multiply to get the latter numbers in the question they are: 10/11 (for the first question) and 81/80 for the second.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Question #1: You just multiply 5/11 by two to get the number that 1/2 has to multiply to get 5/11. And 5/11 * 2 is 10/11. So I guess the answer is 10/11...

For Question #2: The common denominator for them both is 180, and 4/9 times 81/ 80 is what 80/180 (4/9) has to multiply by to get 81/180.

I used the equation 4/9x=9/20

Multiplied the 9 and then divided by 4 to get the answer, which was 81/80.

***I also noticed, that 1/2 is 1/22 away from 5/11, and 4/9 is 1/180 away from 9/20.

Hope this helps!

Factor. 2v^2-11v-63
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

  (2v +7)(v -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 2·(-63) = -126 that have a sum of -11 are 7 and -18, so we can rewrite the middle term to -18v+7v. Then we can factor by grouping.

  2v^2 -18v +7v -63 = 2v(v -9) +7(v -9)

  = (2v +7)(v -9)
