Since she can arrange it in sets
let N=total number of spoons so
N mod7 1 ---->7a+1=n where a is a natural num
N mod 8 7---->8b+7=n where b is a natural num
N mod 15 3----->15c+3=n where c is a natural n
for the first set {8,15,22,29,36,43,50,57,65,71....}
for the second set {15,23,31,39,47,55,63,71,79..}
for the third set {18,33,48,63,78,....}
and find them manually but what is easier is to solve them using algebra and logic (college level)
N=840m+183 where m is zero or a postive integer
so the only N below 200 is 183
let us check
183/7=26 R 1
183/8=22 R 7
183/15=12 R 3
which means our soultion is correct

Subtract. 5x^2-5x+1-(2x^2+9x-6)
Talja [164]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

3x^{2} -14x+7

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem we need to add/subtract like terms. We need to remember that like terms are the terms that share the same variable and the same exponent.

For example, we have:

x^{2} +2x+3x=x^{2} +(2x+3x)=x^{2}+5x

We have that we were able to add just the terms that were sharing the same variable and exponenr (x for this case).

So, we are given the expression:

5x^2-5x+1-(2x^2+9x-6)=5x^{2}-2x^{2}-5x-9x+1-(-6)\\\\(5x^{2}-2x^{2})+(-5x-9x)+(1-(-6))=3x^{2}-14x+7

Hence, the answer is:

3x^{2} -14x+7

Have a nice day!
