Philip is 5 years old and Jon is 19 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let x be the age of Philip Now

Since Jon is 14 years older than Philip,

Age of Jon = 14 + x

Step 2 :

After  2 years,

Age of Philip = x+ 2

Age of Jon = 14+x+2 = 16+x

Step 3 :

Given that in 2 years, Jon will be 3 times as old as Philip.

So we have 16 + x =3(x+2)

=> 16 + x = 3x +6

=> 2x = 10 = x = 5

Hence age of Philip is 5 years

Age of jon = x + 14 = 5+ 14 =19 years

How do you find the complete square of a math problem
dolphi86 [110]

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure what exactly you mean.

do you mean the complete square of an expression or

term ?

if so, then by multiplying this term by itself, and that means in general, every part is multiplied by every part and the part results are added considering the signs involved.

e.g.

squaring a+b

(a+b)(a+b) = a×a + a×b + b×a + b×b = a² + 2ab + b²

remember that multiplication and addition are commutative (you can flip the right and left sides with each other and still get the same result : a+b = b+a, a×b = b×a).

squaring a-b

(a-b)(a-b) = a×a + a×-b + -b×a + -b×-b = a² - 2ab + b²

remember that

+×- = -×+ = -

-×- = +

+×+ = +

a more complex example ?

squaring a-b+c

(a-b+c)(a-b+c) =

= a×a + a×-b + a×c + -b×a + -b×-b + -b×c + c×a + c×-b + c×c =

= a² - 2ab - 2bc + 2ac + b² + c²

PLEASE HELP (20pts, attachment below) Find x and y.
kherson [118]

Step-by-step explanation:

5x +2 = 182 -4x

5x+4x = 182-2

9x = 180

x = 180/9

x = 20

4y +2 = 5x +2

4y = 5x

4y = 5(20)

4y = 100

y = 100/4

y = 25
