Answer:

Mariya is 1 year old

Vikram is 7 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the present ages of Mariya and Vikram.

Let the present age of Mariya be M and the present age of Vikram be V

From the question, we are told that in 6 years time, Mariya will be as old as Vikram is now

Thus, mathematically;

M + 6 = V ••••••(i)

Furthermore , in 2 years time Vikram will be 3 time older than Mariya

Mathematically;

( V + 2) = 3( M + 2)

V + 2 = 3M + 6

V = 3M + 6-2

V = 3M + 4 •••••••(ii)

So let’s equate the V

3m + 4 = m + 6

3m -m = 6-4

2m = 2

m = 1

But V = m + 6

V = 1 + 6

V = 7

Express the volume of the box as a<br>polynomial in the variable x
Whitepunk [10]

The volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

<h3>How to determine the volume?</h3>

The complete question is added as an attachment

From the attached image, we have:

Length = 12 - 2x

Width = 7 - 2x

Height = x

The volume is calculated as:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Volume = (12 - 2x) * (7 - 2x) * x

This gives

Volume = x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

Hence, the volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)
