Answer:

  • garden: 8 years
  • tree: 120 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g represent the age of the garden. Then the age of the tree is 15g. The sum of their ages is ...

  g +15g = 128

  16g = 128 . . . . . collect terms

  g = 128/16 = 8 . . . . divide by the coefficient of g

The garden is 8 years old; the tree is 120 years old.

How to graph a inequality
4vir4ik [10]
Graph it like you would a normal equation except if it's not "equal to" it's a dashed line instead of solid line. Then shade the appropriate area on the graph,
for example..
y > 2x +1
is graphed as a dashed line y = 2x +1 since it doesn't actually equal y.
y is greater than the line/equation so the area above is shaded where y is bigger

Simplify the polynomial-
butalik [34]
The answer is:

5f^2+11f-2

Explanation: All you would have to do is combine the like terms. For example; -3f^2 amd 8f^2 are both like terms because they both have the same variables and powers. Ignore the variables and powers for a second. Look at the coefficients. -3 and 8 are to be added since the 8 is a positive. Once you add them, the result will be 11f^2. You need to remember to add back the variable and power. It just seems easier that way. There is also another like term in the polynomial. 4f and 7f. You add those to get 11f. The last like term in the polynomial is -3 and 1. You add -3 to 1 and you get -2.

I hope this explanation made sense to you as I tried my best to explain it! :)
