Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry is 3 more than twice Nicholas' age. You can write this as :

H = 3 + 2N

Marcus is 9 less than 6 times Nicholas' age:

M = 6N - 9

Since Henry and Marcus are twins, this means H = N.

3 + 2N = 6N - 9

Add 9 to both sides

12 + 2N = 6N

Subtract 2N from both sides

12 = 4N

Divide both sides by 4 to find N.

N = 12/4 = 3

Setler79 [48]

The decrease is  (95-68) = 27 .

Solve for x in the equation 2x^2+14x+17=-96
goblinko [34]
2x^{2}+14x+17=-96 \newline
2x^{2}+14x+113=0 \newline
\Delta = b^{2}-4ac = 14^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 113 = -708.

Since \Delta is negative \Rightarrow x \notin \mathbb{R}.
