Answer:

3 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

let m be Musa's age and d be Dayo's age

let x be number of years ago

m = 47

d = 22

(m - x)(d - x) = 836

(47 - x)(22 - x) = 836

1034 - 69x + x² = 836

x² - 69x + 198 = 0

This is in standard from ax² + bx + c = 0

Factor to be (x+q)(x+p)=0

p*q = c = 198

p+q = b = -69

198 = (-3)*(-66)

(-3) + (-66) = -69

Factored form is:

(x - 66)(x - 3) = 0

Set each bracket to 0

x - 66 = 0

x = 66 <= This number is inadmissable because neither Musa nor Dayo reached age 66.

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

The product of their ages was 836 3 years ago.

What is -(5x+6)-x=-6-6x
Veronika [31]

Answer: All real numbers are solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's solve your equation step-by-step.</u>

−(5x+6)−x=−6−6x

<u>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.</u>

−(5x+6)−x=−6−6x

−5x+−6+−x=−6+−6x(Distribute)

(−5x+−x)+(−6)=−6x−6(Combine Like Terms)

−6x+−6=−6x−6

−6x−6=−6x−6

<u>Step 2: Add 6x to both sides.</u>

−6x−6+6x=−6x−6+6x

−6=−6

<u>Step 3: Add 6 to both sides.</u>

−6+6=−6+6

0=0

Find the area and round to the nearest hundredth??
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

total area = 193.31 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

rectangle area = 7 x 15 = 105 m²

semi circle area = (3.14)(7.5²)/2 = 88.31 m²

total area = 105 m² + 88.31 m² = 193.31 m²

What function is shown on the graph ??
galina1969 [7]
The function shown is f(x)= -1/2 cos(x).

sin(x) makes the line way more “curverier” So both sin(x) functions are out. It is NOT 1/2 cos(x) because it would make the y-intercept 0, not .5 In the picture it’s starting at .5 so it’s f(x)=-1/2 cos(x)
