Answer:

p is approximately equal to 1.125,  -1.925

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this first by expanding, giving us a quadratic equation in the usual ax² + bx + c format, then solving that for p:

(4p - 4)(13p + 27) = 0

52p² + 108p - 52p - 108 = 0

52p² + 52p - 108 = 0

13p² + 13p - 27 = 0

13p² + 13p  = 27

p² + p = 27 / 13

p² + p + 1/4 = 27/13 + 1/4

(p + 1/2)² = 108 / 52 + 13 / 52

(p + 1/2)² = 121 / 52

p + 1/2 = ± √(121 / 52)

p = -1/2 ± 11√(1/13) / 2

At that point we can simply plug those numbers into a calculator and solve it:

p ≈ 1.125,  -1.925

If you take half my age and add 7, you get my age 13 years ago. How old am I?
mestny [16]

Answer:

You are currently 40 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the current age is represented by the variable x.

x = current age

The question says that "if you take half my age and add 7, you get my age 13 years ago"

This can be represented like this:

1/2(x) + 7 = x - 13

Now we solve for x using basic algebra:

1/2(x) = x - 20

-1/2(x) = -20

x = 40

To check if this is correct, plug it back into the equation and see if both sides equal each other:

1/2(40) + 7 = (40) - 13

20 + 7 = 27

27 = 27

Hope this helps (●'◡'●)

Pleasee! Which expression is equivalent to the given expression? Assume the denominator does not equal zero.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A. 2y^4 over x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^4y^6 ÷ 7x^8y^2

First, you will find the GCF of the equation which is: 7x^4y^2 .

Then, you will divide both of the equation by the GCF which will become:

14x^4y^6 ÷ 7x^4y^2 = 2y^4

7x^8y^2 ÷ 7x^4y^2 = x^2

Hence, the final answer is 2y^4 over x^2
