We can make two simple equations to express their ages to each other, then solve for one of the variables. Let n be Nojo's age and j be Jacob's age.
n(j) = 84
n - 5 = j
Use substitution to get only one variable in an equation.
n (n - 5) = 84
n^2 - 5n = 84
Since we have n to the power of 2, this equation has two possible answers, but since we are given four possible answer, just substitute them in the equation until one makes the left side equal 84.
<span>n^2 - 5n = 84
</span>12^2 - 5 (12) = 84
144 - 60 = 84
84 = 84
The answer is C = 12
Answer:
Gives you a positive number
Step-by-step explanation:
Two negatives gives you a positive number
Answer:
102
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know that the numbers are two consecutive even numbers, we can write an equation like this where n represents the 2 numbers.
n + (n+2) = 206
Simplify the left side:
n + (n+2) = 206 -----> 2n+2 = 206
Subtract 2 from both sides:
2n = 206-2 -----> 2n = 204
Now divide 204 by 2:
n = 204/2 -----> n = 102
PEMDAS
yo might be tricked to do 2(-7) but that's multiplcation
so expoments
(-6)^2=36
now we have
36/12-2(-7)
mulitipictioan or division whicever comes first
division
36/12=3
multiplcation 2(-7)=-14
now we have
3-(-14)
3+14
17
answer is 17
