Answer:

20 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the son's age is x.

Rewrite the equation 4x + 5x2 = 8x – 7 in standard form and
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The correct option is a=5, b = -4, c=7 ....

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form is ax²+bx+c=0

where a, b, and c being constants, or numerical coefficients, and x is an unknown variable.

The given expression is:

4x + 5x2 = 8x – 7

To make it a standard equation we will move all the values to the left hand side and 0 will be left at the right hand side.

4x+5x²-8x+7=0

Now solve the like terms and arrange the equation according to the standard form:

ax²+bx+c=0

5x² - 4x +7 =0

Here a = 5

b = -4

c= 7

Thus the correct option is a=5, b = -4, c=7 ....

Solve (x – 3)2 = 49. Select the values of x. –46 -4 10 52

After using the algebraic equation, the required value of x = 55/2.

WHAT IS ALGEBRIC EQUATION?
A mathematical statement wherein two expressions have been set equal to one another is known as an algebraic equation. A variable, coefficients, and constants make up an algebraic equation in most cases. Equations, or the equal sign, simply indicate equality. Equating each quantity with another is what equations are all about. Equations act as a scale of balance. If you've ever seen a balance scale, users know that for the scale to be deemed "balanced," an equal amount of weight must be applied to each side. The scale will tip to one side if we only add weight to one side, and the two sides will no longer be equally weighted.

(x-3)2 = 49

= x-3 = 49/2

= x = (49/2) + 3

= x = 55/2

So, the required value of x = 55/2.
