Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rule of exponents
⇔
, then
=
= 
So this can be solve by establish two equation:
let x be age of montell
y be tha age of her mom
for the first equation (<span>Montell is 30 years)</span>:
x = y - 30
second equation ( in 5 years )
x + 5 = ( y + 5 ) ( 1/3)
solving the equation simultaneously
x = 10 years old
y = 40 years old
Their possibilities will always be at random.
1.) (-3,-2)
2.) 8.4m^3
3.) 37.7m^3
Let us assume base of the window = b feet.
Height is 3 feet less than base, that is = (b-3).
Given area of the triangle = 20 feet square.
We know formula for area of a triangle:
Area =
× Base × Height
Plugging values in formula, we get
20 = 




Factoring quadratic, we get
=0
b+5=0
b=-5
b-8=0
b=8.
For base we can take only positive value.
<h3>Therefore, base of the triangle = 8 feet and height = 8 -3 = 5 feet.</h3>
