Answer:

Dan is 29. Cary is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Dan's age now be D.

Let Cary's age now be C.

"Cary is 7 years older than Dan."

C = D + 7

"In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 79. "

In 7 years, the ages of Dan and Cary will be D + 7 and C + 7, respectively.

D + 7 + C + 7 = 79

C + D + 14 = 79

C + D = 65

C = D + 7

The last two equations in bold above form a system of equations. Since the second equation is already solved for C, we use the substitution method.

D + 7 + D = 65

2D + 7 = 65

2D = 58

D = 29

C = D + 7

C = 29 + 7

C = 36

Answer: Dan is 29. Cary is 36.

hammer [34]

x = 3,-1, multiplicity of 2.

Therefore, it is 4-degree polynomials. (considering that x = 3,-1,2,2)

We just convert these x-values into x-intercept form and convert again in standard form by multiplying.

(x-3)(x+1)(x-2)²

(x²-2x-3)(x²-4x+4)

(x⁴-4x³+4x²-2x³+8x²-8x-3x²+12x-12)

Thus the answer is x⁴-6x³+9x²+4x-12

Use the expression 9(7 + 2x) to answer the following:
oksian1 [2.3K]

Part A: Describe the two factors in this expression. (4 points) The factors are (1) the constant coefficient 9 and (2) the binomial (7+2x).

Part B: How many terms are in each factor of this expression? (4 points) The first factor (multiplicand), 9, has one term. The second factor (multiplicand), (7+2x), has two terms (and is thus called a binomial).

Part C: What is the coefficient of the variable term? (2 points) The only such coefficient is 2.
