Oldest = 2x
Middle = x + 5
Youngest = x
2x + x + 5 + x = 57
combine like terms
4x + 5 = 57
subtract 5 from both sides
4x = 52
divide both sides by 4 to isolate x
x = 13
Oldest = 2x = 2(13) = 26
Middle = x + 5 = 13 + 5 = 18
Youngest = x = 13
Answer:
10 or x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
First we can combine like-terms.
8x+6=86
Then subtract 6 from both sides
8x=80
Divide by 8
x=10
Answer:
4p^3 (4p + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
All we can do with this equation is factor it.
16p^4 + 4p^3
When we look at the coefficients, there is a common factor of 4 with 16 and 4. The p's are also common factors, and we can take out a common factor of x^3. We can combine these common factors and take them out of the equation at the same time.
4p^3 (4p + 1)
Answer:
Amount of fencing: 32 feet
Amount of soil: 63 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Fencing: In a rectangle, the opposite side is the same length. So we do:
9+7+9+7 = <u>32 feet</u>
Soil: The soil is the area. Area is equal to length times width. Length is 9 and width is 7, so we do:
9 x 7 = <u>63 feet squared</u>
