Trina has two brothers. one brother is 7 years older than trina and the other brother is 7 years younger than trina. the product of her brothers age is 95.
a. if x represents trinas age, write an equation to describe the product of her brothers ages.
b. solve the equation for x how old is trina.

(a)

(b) Trina is 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Let x represents trinas age.

It is given that trina has two brothers. one brother is 7 years older than trina and the other brother is 7 years younger than trina.

Age of elder brother = x+7 years

Age of youger brother = x-7 years

Product of her brothers age =

It is given that the product of her brothers age is 95.

(b)

We need to solve the equation

Add 49 on both sides.

Taking square root both sides.

The values of x are -12 and 12. But age of a person can not be negative.

Therefore value of x is 12. It means trina is 12 years old.

the answer is c. 23/3

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
