Create a system of equations
x + y = 123
5x + y = 343

I use substitution
y = 123 - x
5x + 123 - x = 343
4x + 123 = 343
4x = 220
x = 55

Plug in
x + y = 123
55 + y = 123
y = 68

Check
5x + y = 343
5(55) + 68 = 343
275 + 68 = 343
343 = 343

What is the remainder when 2x^3−9x^2+11 is divided by x−6?

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

119

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) divided by (x - h) then the value of f(h) is the remainder, thus

f(6) = 2(6)³ - 9(6)² + 11

= 2(216) - 9(36) + 11

= 432 - 324 + 11

= 119 ← remainder
