Answer:

In 14 years Marc's grandmother will be 5 times as Marc will be then

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Information given to us to solve the problem:

Marc's age today = 0

Marc's grandmother age today = 56

2. In how many years will Marc's grandmother be 5 times as Marc will be then?

x = Number of years when Marc's grandmother age will be 5 times as Marc will be then

Let's solve for x, this way:

5 times Marc age in x years = Marc's grandmother age in x years

5 (0 + x) = 56 + x

5x = 56 + x

5x - x = 56 (Subtracting x at both sides)

4x = 56

x = 56/4

x = 14

Let's prove that x = 14 is correct:

5 (0 + 14) = 56 + 14

70 = 70

We proved that x = 14 is correct

In 14 years Marc's grandmother will be 5 times as Marc will be then

2. How many real number solutions are there to the equation 0 =-3x2 + x - 4?

goblinko [34]

For this case we have the following quadratic equation:

$-3x ^ 2 + x-4 = 0$

Where:

$a = -3\\b = 1\\c = -4$

By definition, the discriminant of a quadratic equation is given by:

$d = b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)$

We have to:

$d> 0:$ Two different real roots

$d$ Two different complex roots

$d = 0:$ Two equal real roots

Substituting the values we have:

$d = 1 ^ 2-4 (-3) (- 4)\\d = 1-48\\d = -47$

So, we have two different complex roots

Answer:

Two different complex roots

Solve the equation for y: 2 y – 25 = 19

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

2y - 25 = 19

2y = 19 + 25

2y = 44

y = 44 / 2

y = 22

Add. (−2+6x^3−3x^2)+(4x^3−5+x^2)

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

10x^3 - 2x^2 -7

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract polynomials, you want to subtract the biggest exponent from the first polynomial to the second

so 6x^3 + 4x^3 and that would be 10x^3

then -3x^2 + x^2 and the negative is larger so it would be -2x^2

and finally -2 + -5 and that is -7

hope this helps! :)
