Answer:

Emily: 13, Peter: 9, Joshua: 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Emily = x

Peter = Emily - 4 = x - 4

Joshua = 2(Peter) = 2(x - 4)

Total = 40 = Emily + Peter + Joshua = (x) + (x - 4) + 2(x - 4)

40 = 2x - 4 + 2x -8

40 = 4x - 4 - 8

40 = 4x - 12

52 = 4x

x = 13

Emily = 13

Peter = 13 - 4 = 9

Joshua = 2(13 - 4) = 2(9) = 18

13 + 9 +18 = 40

Find the equation of the line that is
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

y = ½x + 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

You get y = -2x +5, so the slope is –2. Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes, so the slope of the line we want to find is 1/2. Plugging in the point given into the equation y = 1/2x + b and solving for b, we get b = 6. Thus, the equation of the line is y = ½x + 6.

I don't why you put -+ but I will go ahead and assume that it is -2.

Multiply (5x2 + x − 4)(x + 2).
Trava [24]
(x + 2)(5x^2 + x - 4) =
x(5x^2 + x - 4) + 2(5x^2 + x - 4) =
5x^3 + x^2 - 4x + 10x^2 + 2x - 8 =
5x^3 + 11x^2 - 2x - 8 <===
