F(x) = x^2 - 8x + 5

f(-1) = -1^2 - 8(-1) + 5
f(-1) = 1 + 8 + 5
f(-1) = 14 <==

Richard and Teo have a combined age of 37. Richard is 4 years older than twice Teo's age. How old are Richard and Teo?

valkas [14]

Answer:

Teo is 11 years old and Richard is 26 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let R be the age of Richard and T be the age of Teo.

First set up the equations:

The combined age of Teo and Richard is 37:

R+T=37

Richard is four years old than twice Teo's age:

R=2T+4

Then, solve the equations:

Substitute (2) to (1) and solve for T:

(2T+4)+T=37

3T=11

T=11

Solve for R using (2):

R=2(11)+4

R=22+4

R=26

An angle measures 20.6° less than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:34.7 55.3

Step-by-step explanation: Complementery angles mean that they add to 90 degrees so we can repersent that in the equation x=(90-x)-20.6 first lets add like terms x=69.4-x (nice) now lets add x to each side 2x=69.4 now to get rid of the two lets divide by 2 on each side x=34.7. The angle that is 20.6 degrees less than its complementary angle has been found, to find the other angle add 20.6 degrees to the one we just found.
