Answer:

5 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If we call the larger number x and the smaller y we can write two equations.

y= x - 8 and x - 3=2y

2) we can substitute the x-8 in for the y in the second equation.

x-3=2(x-8)

3) by distributing and simplifying we find that x=13

4) To find y we need to plug x back into the first equation.

y=13-8

y=5

3x^2 (x^2 - 4x - 2) + (5x^3 + 7x^2+2x+11) plz show work
matrenka [14]

Let's simplify step-by-step.

3x2(x2−4x−4)+5x3+7x2+2x+11

Distribute:

=(3x2)(x2)+(3x2)(−4x)+(3x2)(−4)+5x3+7x2+2x+11

=3x4+−12x3+−12x2+5x3+7x2+2x+11

Combine Like Terms:

=3x4+−12x3+−12x2+5x3+7x2+2x+11

=(3x4)+(−12x3+5x3)+(−12x2+7x2)+(2x)+(11)

=3x4+−7x3+−5x2+2x+11

Answer:

=3x4−7x3−5x2+2x+11

Maggie's brother is 3 years younger than four times her age. The sum of their ages is 62. How old is Maggie? Maggie is years old
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Maggie is 13 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

1M + 1B = 62

rearrange to get:

1B = 62 - 1M

4M - 3 = 1B

substitute B with 62 - 1M so there is only one variable. this gives:

4M - 3 = 62 - 1M

Get all the variables on one side:

4M + 1M - 3 = 62

Get all non variables on the other side:

4M + 1M = 62 + 3

simplify:

5M = 65

Divide both sides by 5 to get the M by itself:

M = 13.

BONUS:

M + B = 62

B = 49

So her brother is 49 years old.

Maggie is 13 years old.
