Andy's age = x
Jeff's age = x-2
Andy's age in five years = x+5
Jeff's age in five years = x-2+5
The sum of their ages in five years = x+5 + x-2+5
x + 5 + x - 2 + 5 = 40
2x + 8 = 40
<u> -8 -8</u>
2x = 32
<u> :2 :2</u>
x = 16
x - 2 = 14
<u>Andy is 16 years old and Jeff is 14 years old</u>
Factor out a 3x:
3x(x2+4x+6)
Since you can't factor out the quadratic that's as far as it goes:
Answer:
3x(x2+4x+6)
Your answer is c, hope this helps, ask me any questions if needed+
