To solve for p, square both sides and move the equation to one side is equal to zero. Then factor. I chose -2 and -5 because -2 x -5 = 10 and -2 + -5 = -7. After factoring, solve p-5=0 and p-2=0. When one of those equals zero then the equation (p-5)(p-2)=0 is true.
Answer:
Mikhail's age is 25 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's make an equation: Say Mikhail is x, so Gabby would be 2*x=2x
If the sum of their ages equals 75, then x+2x=75, and x=2x=3x, so 3x=75.
75/3=25
Hello I think the answer would be three.
