(f+g)(x)=0
f (x) + g (x)=0
now,
substitute their values
x^2 -4x + x -18 = 0
x^2 -3x -18 =0
x^2 - 6x + 3x - 18 =0
x (x-6) + 3 (x-6) = 0
(x-6)(x+3) = 0
we have to find it's zeroes (or roots) now:
x-6 =0
x = 6
x +3 =0
x = -3
<span>Let n, n+2, and n+4 represent the three consecutive even integers. Or 2 in your case</span>
Answer:
So just as a fraction of 3/30 can be simplified to 1/10, a ratio of 3:30 (or 4:40, 5:50, 6:60 and so on) can be simplified to 1:10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Alvin = 42 yrs , Elga = 21 yrs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Elga's age be x , and Alvin's age be y ,since Alvin is two times Elga's age , then
Alvin's age = 2x , that is
y = 2x ............... equation 1
The sum of their ages is 63 implies
x + y = 63 .............. equation 2
Solving the resulting linear equations by substitution method.
Substitute equation 1 into equation 2 , we have
x + 2x = 63
3x = 63
x = 63/3
x = 21
Therefore : Elga is 21 years old , then Alvin will be 21 x 2, which will be 42
