Answer:

k = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference means subtract.

2k - 8 = 12

is how that statement is translated.

Add 8 to both sides.

2k - 8 + 8 = 12 + 8

2k = 20

Divide by 2

2k/2 = 20/2

k = 10

What are the possible rational zeros of f(x)=x^4+2x^3-3x^2-4x+20?

Mice21 [21]

Roots test tells us to take the factors of the 20 divided by the factors of the coefficient of the the first.

factors of 20 are 1,2,4,5,10,20
factors of 1 are 1

so plus or minus 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 5/1, 10/1, 20/1 are all possible rational zeros

Bryson’s dad is 38 years old. If this is four years less than three times Bryson’s age, how old is Bryson?

klemol [59]

Answer:

Bryson’s age is 14 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> Bryson’s age

we know that

Bryson’s age multiplied by 3 minus 4 must be equal to 38

The linear equation that represent this situation is

$3x-4=38$

solve for x

Adds 4 both sides

$3x=38+4$

$3x=42$

Divide by 3 both sides

$x=14$

therefore

Bryson’s age is 14 years
