Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for that is
If we subtract over the 70, we have a quadratic that we can factor to solve for the values of x that will make that equation true.
Now we need the factors of 70 that will either add or subtract to give us the linear term of 3. The factors of 70 that will work are 10 and 7. 10 times 7 is 70, and 10 - 7 = 3:
and now we will factor by grouping:
and factor out what's common:
The factor (x + 10) is common, so we will now factor that out:
By the Zero Product Property, either x + 10 = 0 or x - 7 = 0, so x = -10 or 7
Those are the 2 numbers that will work.
simplifies to
100 - 30 which does in fact equal 70. OR
which simplifies to
49 + 21 which also equals 70.
So you're done!
Answer:
Half the age of Carlos four years ago is 2 years more than one-third his current age.
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to write a word problem for the equation.
Let x represent the present age of Carlos.
Four years ago, Carlos was x-4 years.
Half his age four years ago is ½(x-4)
Two years more than one-third his current age is ⅓x+2

Step-by-step explanation:
The circumference of this circle = 2πr
= 8π
We have to find the arc length of 50°, or 50/360 times the circumference of the circle(because there is 360° in a circle)
