Answer:720 x^3
Step-by-step explanation:
D & C are the correct answers.This is because of the Distributive Property.
y+y+y +3z = 3y + 3z.
3(y+z) also gives you 3y + 3z.
C is correct because everything adds up to 3y +3z:
2y+2z+y+z = 3y +3z
Answer: a = -2 and c = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
(this answer uses some basic calculus)
We know that 
, and since 
is a maximum of 
, then 
. That means 
, so 
. Then since 
, we have 
, so 
.
Let the first brother = x
second brother = x + 2
third brother = x + 4
<span>The product of the first and third boys' ages is 20 more than twice the second boy's age:
x(x+4) = 2(x+2) + 20
x</span>² + 4x = 2x + 4 + 20
x² + 4x - 2x - 24 = 0
x² + 2x - 24 = 0
(x - 4)(x + 6) = 0
x = 4 or -6 (rejected, age cannot be negative)
First brother = 4
Second brother = 4 + 2 = 6
Third brother = 4 + 4 = 8
The three boys are 4, 6, and 8 years old.
