The difference of the present ages of two sister in 5 yrs

Mathematics
1 answer:
Gekata [30.6K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

4 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

let their ages be x and x - 5, then in 4 years their ages will be

x + 4 and x - 5 + 4 = x - 1 , and the product is 104, thus

(x + 4)(x - 1) = 104 ← expand factors on left using FOIL

x² + 3x - 4 = 104 ( subtract 104 from both sides )

x² + 3x - 108 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 12)(x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 12 = 0 ⇒ x = - 12

x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9

However, x > 0 ⇒ x = 9

Thus

Their present ages are 9 and 9 - 5 = 4

Someone Plz help me with this, first to answer will get marked Brainliest
Shtirlitz [24]
To determine the x-intercept, we set y equal to zero and solve for x. Similarly, to determine the y-intercept, we set x equal to zero and solve for y. ...
To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 \displaystyle y=0 y=0.
To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 \displaystyle x=0 x=0.


Hope this helped brainliest is appreciated

What is the slope of a line <br> parallel to the line 4x – 3y = 16?
galben [10]
"Parallel" means the same, which means the slope you find. The formula for slopes is y=mx+b, so we need to put this equation in the right order for that. ('m' is the slope.)
 Add 4x to each side, and get -3y=16+4x. Rearrange it to get it in the right order (y=mx+b).
This is -3y=4x+16. So the number in front of 'x' is 'm', which is the slope. You never actually see 'm', it is represented by a number. So four is the slope.

Write an algebraic expression.<br><br> The quotient of -9 and y
Alenkasestr [34]
Hey there!

“The quotient of -9 and y”

• Facts When you come across the word “QUOTIENT” in algebra/ math in general it usually MEANS you’re DIVIDING both your numbers by each other

• Guide: -9 will be your numerator and y would be your denominator (or -9 would be in your front whereas y will be in the back)

So, based on your guide we have your ANSWER should look like: “-9 ÷ y”

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
