Five years ago, Charlie was twice older than Priya. What are their ages now if in 3 years the sum of their ages will be 76?I need both ages thx

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

present age of charlie is  45 years

present age of priya is  25 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let start from five years ago

Let at that age of Priya was x years

given that

Charlie was twice older than Priya

age of Charlie = 2x

_____________________________________________

present age of charlie = age 5 years ago + 5 years = 2x + 5

present age of priya = age of priya  5 years ago + 5 years x + 5 = x + 5

_________________________________________________

age of charlie 3 years from now = present age of charlie + 3 years

age of charlie 3 years from now =2x + 5 + 3 = 2x + 8

age of priya 3 years from now = present age of priya + 3 years

age of priya 3 years from now =x + 5 + 3 = x + 8

Given that

in 3 years the sum of their ages will be 76

thus

sum of their ages in 3 years from now = x + 8 + 2x + 8 = 76

=> 3x + 16 = 76

=> 3x = 76-16 = 60

=> x = 60/3 = 20

Thus,

present age of charlie =  2x + 5 = 2*20 + 5 = 45 years

present age of priya = x + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25 years

Which expression is equivalent to the area of metal sheet required to make this square-shaped traffic sign?A square shaped traffic sign is shown with length of one side labeled as 8x minus 2.

Answers

Given:
square shaped traffic sign. side measure of 8x - 2

A square has 4 equal sides. To find the area of a square, simply square the measure of 1 side. 

Area of a square = a²
A = (8x-2)²
A = (8x-2)(8x-2)
A = 8x(8x-2) - 2(8x-2)
A = 64x² - 16x - 16x + 4
A = 64x² - 32x + 4

What is the factored form of the polynomial?x2 + 9x +20

(x − 4)(x − 5)
(x − 2)(x − 10)
(x + 4)(x + 5)
(x + 2)(x + 10)

Answers

The factored form of the polynomial x² + 9x + 20 is ( x + 4 ) ( x + 5 )

Further explanation

Discriminant of quadratic equation ( ax² + bx + c = 0 ) could be calculated by using :

D = b² - 4 a c

From the value of Discriminant , we know how many solutions the equation has by condition :

D < 0 → No Real Roots

D = 0 → One Real Root

D > 0 → Two Real Roots

Let us now tackle the problem!

Given :

x^2 + 9x + 20

To factor this form, we first look for the following operations:

_ + _ = 9

_ × _ = 20

To fill in the blanks, the matching numbers are :

4 + 5 = 9

4 × 5 = 20

Next, the above equation can be factorized into:

x^2 + 9x + 20

x^2 + 4x + 5x + 20

(x^2 + 4x) + (5x + 20)

x(x + 4) + 5(x + 4)

\large {\boxed {(x + 4)(x + 5)} }

Answer:

(C)(x + 4)(x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation in the form of polynomial is:

x^2+9x+20

Factorizing the above given equation, we get

x^2+5x+4x+20

x(x+5)+4(x+5)

Taking x+5 common, we have

(x+4)(x+5)

which is the required factorised form.

Therefore the factors of the given polynomial are (x+4)(x+5).

Thus, Option (C) is correct.

2.45          2. 800

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 25% * 400 = 0.25 * 400 = (1)/(4) * 400 = 100

2. 50% * 90 = 45

1. 75% * 200 = 0.75 * 200 = 3/4 * 200 = 150

2. 10% * 8000 = 0.1 * 8000 = 800
