We can make two simple equations to express their ages to each other, then solve for one of the variables. Let n be Nojo's age and j be Jacob's age.
n(j) = 84
n - 5 = j
Use substitution to get only one variable in an equation.
n (n - 5) = 84
n^2 - 5n = 84
Since we have n to the power of 2, this equation has two possible answers, but since we are given four possible answer, just substitute them in the equation until one makes the left side equal 84.
<span>n^2 - 5n = 84
</span>12^2 - 5 (12) = 84
144 - 60 = 84
84 = 84
The answer is C = 12
Answer:
It's 55
Step-by-step explanation:
5/8=0.625
0.625 times 88 = 55
Distribution is multiplying. So
6(12)-6(5)
72-30
42
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
lets break down 120 to see what it is divisible by and see if any of those numbers are perfect squares.
120/2=60
120/3=40
120/4=30
we can stop there because 4 is a perfect square and 30 can not be reduced any further to produce a perfect square.
do not forget there is only one x so it must stay in side the radical.
your answer is 2sqrt(30x)
