The x is 6 (hope i helped kinda maybe i dunno)
9 9/12 + 7 8/12 = 16 17/12 which converts to your answer----> 17 5/12
3 - 13x - 7x^2 - (5x^2 + 12x - 10)
Distributing the negative over the parentheses chamges the signs:-
= 3 - 13x - 7x^2 - 5x^2 - 12x + 10
adding like terms:-
= -12x^2 - 25x + 13 (answer).
Its B
Answer:
x^2 -x -2 = (x -2)(x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor x^2 -x -2, you look for factors of -2 that have a sum of -1:
-2 = (-1)(2) = (1)(-2) . . . . . the latter pair has a sum of -1
Then these are the constants in the binomial factors:
x^2 -x -2 = (x +1)(x -2)

<em>Comment on the question</em>
The fact that x^2 +3x -4 is modeled with algebra tiles seems to be irrelevant to the question that is actually asked.
Answer:
Eli's age = 42 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be Eli's age and y be Cecil's age
So,
According to the statement given
x+y=60 eqn 1
Eli's age 6 years ago = x-6
Cecil's age 6 years ago = y-6
So according to the given statement
x-6 = 3(y-6)
x-6 = 3y - 18
x-3y = -18+6
x-3y= -12 eqn 2
Subtracting eqn 2 from eqn 1
x+y - (x-3y) = 60 - (-12)
x+y-x+3y = 60+12
4y = 72
y = 18
Cecil's age = 18 years
Putting y = 18 in eqn 1
x+18=60
x = 60-18
x = 42
Eli's age = 42 years ..
