Mary is 5 years older than Bob.
Mary is 22 and Bob is 17.

When you subtract 22 - 17, you will get 5. Mary and Bob are 5 years apart.

When you add 22 + 17, you'll get 39, which is the sum of their age.

The equation would be:
m + b = 39
M standing for Mary, B standing for Bob.

22+17= 39 would be the full equation.

M= 22
B= 17.

Sorry if this is confusing and doesn't help you that much, but I really hope it helped! :-)

5x=39 x stands for the age of bob so 39/5 =7.8 which is rounded up to 8 and if you multiply 8 by 5 you get 40 but if you multiply 7.8 by 5 you get 39 so his age would be 7.8 years old.

Filling them in it would be ; 4 - (-2) - 8

Find the roots of the parabola given by the following equation <br> 2x^2+5X-9=2x
natta225 [31]

Answer:

x=-3\:or\:x=\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parabola has equation

2x^2+5x-9=2x

We rewrite in standard form to obtain:

2x^2+5x-2x-9=0

2x^2+3x-9=0

Split the middle terms to get:

2x^2+6x-3x-9=0

Factor by grouping:

2x(x+3)-3(x+3)=0

(x+3)(2x-3)=0

x=-3\:or\:x=\frac{3}{2}
