Let
R = Ralph's age
S = Sara's age
First statement is translated as:
S = 3R
Second statement is translated as:
S + 4 = 2(R + 4)
Use the first equation to be substituted into the second one in terms of R which is the one we are actually going to solve for Ralph's age.
Since S = 3R, then
3R + 4 = 2(R + 4)
3R + 4 = 2R + 8
3R - 2R = 8 - 4
R = 4 years old
The polynomial that represent twice the sum of
- x +6 and 7
+ x -1 is : 4

<h3>What is a polynomial?</h3>
A polynomial is any algebraic expression that has the least value of the power of its variable as 2.
When the highest value of the polynomial is 2, it is a called a quadratic expression.
Analysis:
2( -5
-x +6 + 7
+x -1)
2( 2
+ 5) =
4
+ 10
In conclusion, the polynomial that represents the above expressions is 4
+ 10

Answer: a6=70
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In the Arithmetic Sequence the formula is:
an= a1 + d(n−1)
where
a1 is the first term
d is the common difference
n is the number of terms
in this problem
a1=5
a2=18
a3=31
a4=44
a5=57
so
d=a2-a1 or a3-a2 or a4-a3 or a5-a4
d=57-44----> 13
find a6
a6= a1 + d(n−1)
n=6
d=13
a1=5
a6=5+13*(6-1)----> a6=5+13*5----> a6=70
since the original price was ninety we have to multiply 5/6 by 90
90/1(5/6)
=450/6
=75
