Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose two years ago my brother's age was x years

Then, my age was 3x

Three years from now, my brother's age will be (x +2+3) = (x+5) years

And my age will be (3x+2+3) = (3x+5) years

But it is given that i will be twice as old as my brother.

So, 2(x+5)= (3x+5)

or, x= 5 years

So my brother's present age is 5+2= 7 years

And my age is 5*3+2= 17 years

What is the answer to the equation 4a+26-9a-17=26?
podryga [215]
First you have to put all of your common numbers together. 4a and 9a go together. You then subtract those because 9 is negative (-9). Then you get -5a. Now move on to your other numbers. You have 26 and 17. 17 is negative as well (-17), so you subtract it from 26. That gives you 9.
Your new equation is -5a + 9 = 26
Now you subtract 9 from both sides. Your positive (+9) will cancel out with your negative (-9). Then subtract it from 26. 9 minus 26 is 17. 
Now your equation is -5a = 17
Since it's negative, you're going to add it (5) to both sides. 
Your 5's cancel out, and 17 + 5 is 22. 
a = 22
22 is the answer

Solve 2(4x + 5) > 7x + 20.
choli [55]
2(4x+5)>7x+20  perform indicated multiplication on left side

8x+10>7x+20  subtract 7x from both sides

x+10>20  subtract 10 from both sides

x>10

or in interval notation, x=(10, +oo)

Part A: The area of a square is (9x2 − 12x + 4) square units. Determine the length of each side of the square by factoring the a
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Part A: The length of each side is 3x-2 units long.

Part B: The dimensions are 5x-4 and 5x+4 units long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

--> 9x^2-12x+4

--> Multiply 9 times 4 to see the factors of that product

--> 9 times4 = 36

Factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

Use the factor 6 and make it negative so -6

add another -6

Keep in mind that it is -6x

--> 9x^2-6x-6x+4

Separate the four terms into two different binomials

--> 9x^2-6x  and -6x+4

Factor the binomials

With 9x^2-6x you can factor a 3x

So it will 3x(3x-2)

Do the same thing with -6x+4

You can factor out a -2

-2(3x-2)

The reason you factor out a -2 and not 2 is because it has to be same so in this case it is (3x-2)

Take the two numbers that you factored and put them to make an expression so (3x-2)

--> (3x-2)(3x-2) or (3x-2)^2

3x-2 is the length of each side so it is 3x-2 units long

Part B:

-->25x^2-16y^2

Use the difference of squares

take the square root of 25x^2

that is 5x

take the square root of 16y^2

that is 4y

write it in this way (5x+4y)(5x-4y)

These are the dimensions of the rectangle
