Answer:
The son is five years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the son's age be x
A man is five as old as his son, 5x
In five years, he would be three times as old as his son
In five years: son would be x+5
Father 5x+5
3(x+5)=5x+5
3x+15=5x+5
Collect like terms
15-5=5x-3x
10=2x
Divide by 2
10/2=2x/2
x=5
The son is five years old
Answer:
3x^2 + 9x + 1
Or
3x ( x + 3 ) + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x - 2 +3x^2 ) + (4x + 3 )
To make this a little bit more easier to read, you can remove the parentheses:
5x - 2 + 3x^2 + 4x + 3
Now, write in a way so that the like terms are next to each other:
3x^2 + 5x + 4x - 2 + 3
Now simplify the 'x' terms to get:
3x^2 + 9x - 2 + 3
Now, simplify the integers (the ones with now variables with them) to get:
3x^2 + 9x + 1
If you want, you can factor out the 3x for two of the terms to get :
3x ( x + 3 ) + 1
Therefore, your simplest form can either be 3x^2 + 9x + 1 OR 3x (x + 3 ) + 1
Answer:
7 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 3 brothers
First , Second, Third
Let the total number cookies be represented by A
1 cookie = 1
Working backwards, we start from the third brother
If we work backwards
It means he gave everything away
We start from the youngest
He was given 1/2 of what was left and 1/2 a cookie
This means,
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
The second brother
He got half of what is left and 1/2 a cookies
Half of what is left from brother
= What the youngest brother got + 1/2 + 1/2 a cookie
= 1 + 1/2 + 1/2
= 1.5 + 1/2
= 2 cookies
For the first brother
He got 1/2 of the cookies + 1/2 cookie
= 1.5 × 2 + 1/2 + 1/2 cookies
= 3 1/2 + 1/2
= 4 cookies
The first brother got 4 cookies
The second brother got 2 cookies
The third broth got 1 cookies
