Answer:
(5x+6)(2x+5)-(2x+4)(x+8) simplified is 8x^2+17x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 50 Pounds
Explanation: First we need to find out how much 0.5% of 1250 is. 0.5% of 1250 is 6.25£. Since that’s per month, and Aaron pays interest for 8 months, we multiply by 8. So 6.25 times 8 is 50.
Answer:
Sister = 15 years old
Brother = 12 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Right now, if the brother is B years old and the sister is S years old, B = (4/5)S because the ratio from brother to sister is 4:5, so if one unit is X, B = 4X and S = 5X
Three years ago, the brother was B-3 years old and the sister was S-3 years old. Keeping one unit as X, we have
B = 3X
S = 4X
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Therefore, we have a system of equations
B = (4/5)S
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Substitute (4/5)S for B into the second equation to only have one variable
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)(S-3)
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)S - 9/4
add 3 to both sides and subtract (3/4)S from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient
(1/20)S = 3/4
multiply both sides by 20 to isolate the S
S = 15
B = (4/5)S = 12
4x+10=-26
Subtract 10 to both sides:
4x=-36
Divide 4 to both sides:
x=-9
Answer:
11, 13
Step-by-step explanation:
an odd number can be represented by 2n+1
since they are consecutive, the larger odd number will be 2n + 1 + 2
now,
2(2n+3) = 2n + 1 +15
solving this eqn, we get n = 5
so the two numbers are (2n+1) = 11 and 11+2= 13
