Answer:

5:9

Step-by-step explanation:

One Simple Method:

We can plug in values that are reasonable, such as 5 and 9. 5 represents the amount of boys and 9 represents the amount of girls. There's four more girls than boys, adding up both terms there's a sum of 14 grandchildren.

Another Method:

using and creating an equation.

x represents boys

y represents girls

<u>Our equation for boys:</u>

x(x+4)=14

2x+4=14

<u>Subtract 4 from both sides</u>

2x=10

x=5

x=5 represents 5 boys.

Use x=5 in our equation for girls.

5+y=14

<u>Subtract 5 from both sides</u>

y=9

y=9 represents 9 girls.

Answer:

5 boys to 9 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of boys

Boys = x

Girls = x + 4

x + (x + 4) = 14

2x + 4 = 14

2x = 10

x = 5

This means that there are 5 boys. Since girls = x + 4, 5 + 4 = 9. There are 5 boys and 9 girls.

Well, since these are rectangles, and both have 2 measurements, it would be quite simple, you must find how 9 and 15 are similar, then see if that same similarity is found within the 3 and the 5.
the answer is yes, they are similar because...
9×1 1/3=15
and
3× 1/3=5
therefore they are similar.

If m(-12) =0 is the result of M(x) using the reminder theorem then what do -12 and 0 represent?
lions [1.4K]

Suppose we wish to determine whether or not two given polynomials with complex coefficients have a common root. Given two first-degree polynomials a0 + a1x and b0 + b1x, we seek a single value of x such that

Solving each of these equations for x we get x = -a0/a1 and x = -b0/b1 respectively, so in order for both equations to be satisfied simultaneously we must have a0/a1 = b0/b1, which can also be written as a0b1 - a1b0 = 0. Formally we can regard this system as two linear equations in the two quantities x0 and x1, and write them in matrix form as

Hence a non-trivial solution requires the vanishing of the determinant of the coefficient matrix, which again gives a0b1 - a1b0 = 0.

Now consider two polynomials of degree 2. In this case we seek a single value of x such that
