Answer:

X= 40

Step-by-step explanation:

X ×2+5= Jonathan age.

So, 85÷2-5 = <u>X</u>

X= 85÷2-5

Answer:

<h2>30 years</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Age of melvin = X

Age of Jonathon = X + 5

After 10 years,

Age of melvin = X + 10

Age of Jonathon = X + 15

Now,

According to the question,

x +10 + x + 15 = 85

Collect like terms

2x +10 + 15 = 85

Calculate the sum

2x + 25 = 85

Subtract 25 on both sides

2x + 25 - 25 = 85 - 25

Calculate

2x = 60

Divide both sides of equation by 2

\frac{2x}{2}  =  \frac{60}{2}

Calculate

x = 30

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

Plz help cause idk what to do
mixer [17]

Answer:

<em>-9.5 + 6x ≥ 42.1 </em>

<em>6x ≥ 51.6</em>

x ≥ 8.6

Here, we can see that x is greater than or equal to 8.6. So, we can say that 8.6 is the lowest value of x

but we have 2 options with 8.6 as the lowest term, we can see that the brackets are different in the beginning

the '[' bracket tells us to include 8.6 in the values of x whereas the '(' bracket tells to exclude 8.6 from the possible values of x

since we know that x is greater than or equal to 8.6, we will use the '[' bracket

Hence, b is your answer

What is the value of a and b F(x)=x(x+a)(x-b)
nalin [4]
Unfortunately, Tashara, you have not provided enuf info from which to calculate the values of a and b.  If you were to set  <span>F(x)=x(x+a)(x-b)  = to 0, then:

x=0,
x=-a
x=-b

but this doesn't answer your question.
Double check that you have shared all aspects of this question.</span>
