Step-by-step explanation:

Let age of rick = x

age of sara = y

age of marcos = a

age of jade = b

Rick is 4 years younger than Sara.

x = y - 4

Marcos is 3 years older than Jade.

a = b + 3

Rick's age is twice the age of Marcos and Jade's ages combined.

x = 2(a+b)

The youngest is 9 years old.

The youngest is jade because rick and sara are the parents and marcos is older than she is.

b = 9

How old is each??

a = b + 3

a = 9 + 3 = 12

Marcos is 12 years old

x = 2(a+b)

x = 2 (12 + 9)

x = 2 (21) = 42

Rick is 42 years old

x = y - 4

42 = y - 4

y = 42 + 4 = 46

Sara is 46 years old

Carmen wants to join a gym. Gym A costs $26.76 plus an additional $4 for each visit. Gym B has no initial fee but costs $12.92 f
joja [24]

Answer:

After 3 visits both plans will cost the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gym A costs $26.76 plus an additional $4 for each visit.

Gym B has no initial fee but costs $12.92 for each visist.

The cost for gym A can be written as

C= $26.76 + 4(x)  where x is the number of visits to the gym A

The cost for gym B can be written as

C= $12.92 (x)  where x is the number of visits to the gym B

Both costs will be equal

12.92x= 26.76 +4x

12.92x-4x= 26.76

8.92x= 26.76

x= 26.76/8.92

x= 3

after 3 visits both plans will cost the same.

Check

12.92x= 26.76 +4x

12.92*3= 26.76 +12

38.76= 38.76

(1) Factor the GCF out of the trinomial on the left side of the equation. (2 points: 1 for the GCF, 1 for the trinomial) 2x²+6x-
Tanya [424]

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Factor the GCF out of the trinomial on the left side of the equation. (2 points: 1 for the GCF, 1 for the trinomial) 2x²+6x-20=0

2x²+6x-20

2(x²+3x-10)

the factors are 2 and (x²+3x-10)

(2) Factor the polynomial completely. (4 points: 2 point for each factor)

2(x²+3x-10)

2(x²-2x+5x-10)

2(x(x-2) + 5(x-2))   group like terms

2(x+5)(x-2)

(3) If a product is equal to zero, we know at least one of the factors must be zero. And the constant factor cannot be zero. So set each binomial factor equal to 0 and solve for x, the width of your project. (2 points: 1 point for each factor)

constant = 2  cannot be zero

the other factors are (x+5) and (x-2)

(x+5)=0 => x= -5

or

(x-2)=0 => x=2

(4) What are the dimensions of your project? Remember that the width of your project is represented by x. (2 points: 1 point for each dimension)

thank you so much, sorry if it's a little confusing!!  

(it is indeed confusing, because physical dimensions cannot be negative)

The dimensions of the project (assumed a rectangle) are +2 and -5
