Answer:

9 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ages of all of these students are being represented in relation to the middle student's age then we can create formulas for each student and then apply them to the formula for the sum of their ages and solve for the middle child's age (M) like so... (oldest child's age is represented by variable O and youngest child's age is represented by variable Y)

O = M + 6

Y = M - 3

30 = (M+6) + M + (M-3)  ... combine like terms

30 = 3M + 3  ... subtract 3 from both sides

27 = 3M  ... divide both sides by 3

9 = M

Now we know that the middle child is 9 years old.

irina [24]

Answer:

Les trois nombres sont 5, 6 et 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Soit x le premier nombre.

x + 1 sera le second et x + 2 sera le troisième.

On pose l'équation :

2x + 3(x + 1) = 4(x + 2)

2x + 3x + 3 = 4x + 8

5x - 4x = 8 - 3

x = 5

Factor 140c + 28 - 14a to identify the equivalent expressions.
Feliz [49]

Answer:

The answer to your question are letters A, C and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor this polynomial we need to look for the common factor of the three terms.

To find it, get the greatest common factor

                        140    28   14     2

                          70    14     7     2

                          35     7     7     5

                            7     7      7     7

                             1     1       1    

Greatest common factor = 2 x 7 = 14  

Factor the polynomial

140c + 28 - 14a = 14 ( 10c + 2 - a)

Factor only 7          7(20c + 4 - 2a)

Factor only 2          2 (70c + 14 - 7a)
