Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If m = Mother's age and d = daughter's age, we can make the following equations

m = 3d

m + d = 44

Now, using substitution, we can substitute m for 3d in the second equation:

3d + d = 44, 4d = 44, d = 11

Then, we can plug d into the first equation: m = 3(11) = 33

The rectangle below has an area of x^2-25x 2 −25 square meters and a length of x+5x+5 meters. What expression represents the wid

iris [78.8K]

Answer: x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the area of the rectangle = $x^2 - 25=(x+5)(x-5)$

Length of the rectangle = x+5

Let the width of the rectangle = b

Thus, the area of the rectangle = $(x+5)\times b$

⇒ $(x+5)\times b=(x+5)(x-5)$

⇒ $b=\frac{(x+5)(x-5)}{(x+5)}$

⇒ $b=x-5$

Therefore, the expression that shows the width of the rectangle = x-5
