Answer:

Total money they had at first $252.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the amount Silas had originally

y be the amount Raja had originally

According to given statement;

x = 3y     Eqn 1

x - 84 = y + 42    Eqn 2

Putting x=3y in Eqn 2

3y - 84 = y + 42

3y - y = 42 + 84

2y = 126

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{126}{2}\\y=63

Putting y = 63 in Eqn 1

x = 3(63)

x = 189

Total money they originally had = 189 + 63 = $252

Hence,

Total money they had at first $252.

Find the derivative F(x)=(5x+3)(2x^2+1)
Lerok [7]

Answer:

10x^3 + 6x^2 + 5x + 3

Factor:<br><br><br>(m+2)^2−(m+2)+mn·(n+2)+2n(n+2)
bazaltina [42]
ANSWER
{(m + 2)}( {n}^{2} + 2n + m + 1)

EXPLANATION

The given expression is

{(m + 2)}^{2} - (m + 2) + mn(n + 2) + 2n(n + 2)

We factor to get,

= {(m + 2)}(m + 2 - 1) +n (n + 2) (m+ 2)

This implies that,

= {(m + 2)}(m + 1) +n (n + 2) (m+ 2)

We factor further to obtain,

= {(m + 2)}((m + 1) +n (n + 2))

or

= {(m + 2)}( {n}^{2} + 2n + m + 1)
