Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1) divide each term in the numerator by the term in denominator:
(remember when dividing subtract the smaller exponent from larger exponent
for example:
say a is the larger exponent, do 
x^4/x=x^3
5x^3/x=5x^2
3x^2/x=3x
so
x^3+5x^2+3x

Answer:
mary=10 jack=15
Step-by-step explanation:
After 4 years Mary (x+4), Jack's age (x+5) + 4.
sum of the ages after 4 years :(x+4) + (x+5) +4=33
Simplifying the equation:
2x+13 = 33 ----->> 2x=20----->>>>x = 10 Mary's age
10 + 5 = 15 which is Jack's age.
