Let's use J for James's age and A for Austin's age. The equations are:
J = A - 4
3J + A² = 28
Just plug (A - 4) in the place of J in the second equation. This gives you:
3(A - 4) + A² = 28
-->
A² + 3A - 12 = 28
-->
A² + 3A - 40 = 0
-->
(A - 5)(A + 8) = 0
-->
A = 5 or -8
-8 is nonsense, so Austin is 5 years old. Therefore, James is 1 year old.
Answer:
atleast 52
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that an employment agency requires applicants average at least 70% on a battery of four job skills tests.
An applicant scored 70%, 77%, and 81% on the first three exams,
Since weightages are not given we can assume all exams have equal weights
Let x be the score on the 4th test
Then total of all 4 exams = 
Average should exceed 70%
i.e.
Comparing the two totals we have

Hemust score on the fourth test a score atleast 52 to maintain a 70% or better average.
Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the scenario in the question, the expression to calculate the number of boxes of sugar Alonso can buys will be:
= 2.75 + 11.50S ≤ 55
When solved further, this will be:
2.75 + 11.50S ≤ 55
11.50S ≤ 55 - 2.75
11.50S ≤ 52.25
S ≤ 52.25 / 11.50
S ≤ 4.54
He can buy 4 boxes of sugar
Answer:
is a polynomial
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : polynomials
and
Solution:




Polynomial :An expression of more than two algebraic terms, especially the sum of several terms that contain different powers of the same variable.
Thus
is a polynomial
Hence option A is correct.
