Step-by-step explanation:
3x^2 + 17x +10 =0
(3x+ ) ( x+ ) =0
We need to factor 10 = 2*5 or 1*10
They are positive since we have all positive terms
3*5 = 15+2 = 17
The 5 needs to multiply the 3 so it goes on the outside
(3x+ ) ( x+ 5 ) =0
That leaves the 2 on the inside
(3x+ 2 ) ( x+ 5 ) =0
Using the zero product property
3x+2 =0 x+5=0
3x = -2 x=-5
x = -2/3 x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:
The present age of mother and her daughter respectively are; 40 and 10 years respectively.
<h3>How to Solve Algebra Word Problems?</h3>
Let x and y be the present age of mother and her daughter respectively.
Therefore;
x + y = 50
x = 50 − y .....(1)
After 20 years, mother's age will be twice her daughter's age at the time. Thus;
x + 20 = 2(y + 20)
x − 2y = 20 .....(2)
Plugging eq 1 into eq 2 gives us;
50 − y − 2y = 20
3y = 30
y = 10
Thus;
x = 50 − 10
x = 40
Thus, the present age of mother and her daughter is 40 and 10 years respectively.
Translation of the question into English is;
The sum of the present ages of mother and her daughter is 50 years. After 20 years, mother's age will be twice her daughter's age at the time. Find their present ages.
