So x is John's age.
We can solve this problem by working backwards.
Since it's 5 times his age, we first do 5x.
And then since it's five less, we move on to 5x - 5
And then we add the John's age is increased by 11: 5x - 5 = x + 11
I hope this helped :)
(It should be the second one you listed)
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
20(20-x)=300
1. Divide both sides by 20.
20(20-x)/20 = 300/20
2. Simplify.
20-x=15
3. Subtract 20 from both sides.
20-x-29=15-20
4. Simplify.
-x=-5
5. Divide both sides by -1.
-x/-1 = -5/-1
6. Simplify.
x=5

Answer:
b = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
(k + a )(k + x) + 1 = k^2 + kx + ak + ax + 1
I think the way to solve this is to worry about the 36
k^s + 1 + ak should equal 36
We know that a = 2
k^2 + 1 + 2k = 36
k^2 + 2k + 1 - 36 = 0
k^2 + 2k - 35 = 0
(k + 7)(k - 5) = 0
k = -7 is the only acceptable answer. It is given that K < 0.
bx = kx + ax
b = k + a
b = - 7 + 2
b = - 5
