Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation to solve is:

To get rid of the "square", we need to take square root of both sides:

Then we use algebra to find the value(s) of x. Remember, when we take square root, we have to add up a "+-" (on the right side). Shown below:

So these are 2 answers for x.
To find out how old the twins were that were in the recital you need to be able to interpret a stem and leaf plot. The number of the left gets placed with each number on the right to create a number in the data set. See the key for an example. This means there were 2 people that were 5 years old making them the twins!
1. 3x^1 + 8 - (2x^2 + 1).....distribute the negative thru the parenthesis
3x^1 + 8 - 2x^2 - 1....now combine like terms
-2x^2 + 3x^1 + 7
2. 5x^2 + 3x - 4 - (x^2 - 6x)...same thing..distribute
5x^2 + 3x - 4 - x^2 + 6x...combine like terms
4x^2 + 9x - 4
