Answer:
Joe is 14.
Martha is 28.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the variables and information from the question to make equations.
If Joe's age is half Martha's:
(1/2)m = j OR 2j = m
If their ages combined is 42:
m + j = 42
We can substitute the equation m=2j into equation m + j = 42, replacing "m".
m + j = 42 Substitute m for 2j
2j + j = 42 Combine like terms, terms with same varables
3j = 42 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate j
j = 14 Joe's age
Since j = 14, we can substitute it into equation m=2j to find "m".
m = 2j Substitute j for 14
m = 2(14) Simplify
m = 28 Martha's age
Therefore Joe is 14 and Martha is 28.
14 = 31.7 - 3x
-17.7 = -3x <---- I subtracted 31.7 from both sides
5.9 = x <---- I divided both sides by -3
The answer is no solution
Given:

To find:
The product of the polynomials.
Solution:
1.

Multiply the numerical coefficient and add the powers of x.

2. 
Multiply each term of first polynomial with each term of 2nd polynomial.
Multiply the numerical coefficient and add the powers of x.


3. 
Multiply each term of first polynomial with each term of 2nd polynomial.
Multiply the numerical coefficient and add the powers of x.

Add or subtract like terms together.

The answer for multiplying polynomials:



8 action, 3 comedy, 5 drama....total = 16 dvd's
P(2 action, then a comedy)...without replacement
8/16 * 7/15 * 3/14 = (8 * 7 * 3) / (16 * 15 * 14) = 168/3360 = 1/20
