We can make two simple equations to express their ages to each other, then solve for one of the variables. Let n be Nojo's age and j be Jacob's age.
n(j) = 84
n - 5 = j
Use substitution to get only one variable in an equation.
n (n - 5) = 84
n^2 - 5n = 84
Since we have n to the power of 2, this equation has two possible answers, but since we are given four possible answer, just substitute them in the equation until one makes the left side equal 84.
<span>n^2 - 5n = 84
</span>12^2 - 5 (12) = 84
144 - 60 = 84
84 = 84
The answer is C = 12
Here is your answer:
1 1/2 = 3/2
7 × 3 = 21
8 × 2 = 16
Divided to equal
<--- Real answer:
The reason why she multiplied her answer wrong, she also "kept her original numerator and denominator."
Hope this helps!
After moving all the terms to the right of the equation and solving you would get A = -36/49. Hope this helps!
Ok... so this question can be solved by using simultaneous equations.
Use the general from of a parabola

you know the value of c, the y-intercept... y = -4
which means the equation is

now use the other 2 points to get 2 equations in 2 unknowns
(-2, -20) just substitute

this becomes

now the other equation using (4, -20)
The simplified form is
