3+2=5

2.50=5 units
divide by 5
0.5=1 unit

3:2
3 times 0.5=1.5
2 times 0.5=1

split is 1.5:1

3. Which polynomial is equal to

Nataly_w [17]

Which polynomial is equal to (-3x^2 + 2x - 3) subtracted from (x^3 - x^2 + 3x)?

<h3><u><em>Answer:</em></u></h3>

The polynomial equal to (-3x^2 + 2x - 3) subtracted from (x^3 - x^2 + 3x) is $x^3 + 2x^2 + x + 3$

<h3><u><em>Solution:</em></u></h3>

Given that two polynomials are: $(-3x^2 + 2x - 3)$ and $(x^3 - x^2 + 3x)$

We have to find the result when $(-3x^2 + 2x - 3)$ is subtracted from $(x^3 - x^2 + 3x)$

In basic arithmetic operations,

when "a" is subtracted from "b" , the result is b - a

Similarly,

When $(-3x^2 + 2x - 3)$ is subtracted from $(x^3 - x^2 + 3x)$ , the result is:

$\rightarrow (x^3 - x^2 + 3x) - (-3x^2 + 2x - 3)$

Let us solve the above expression

<em><u>There are two simple rules to remember: </u></em>

When you multiply a negative number by a positive number then the product is always negative.

When you multiply two negative numbers or two positive numbers then the product is always positive.

So the above expression becomes:

$\rightarrow (x^3 - x^2 + 3x) + 3x^2 -2x + 3$

Removing the brackets we get,

$\rightarrow x^3 - x^2 + 3x + 3x^2 -2x + 3$

Combining the like terms,

$\rightarrow x^3 -x^2 + 3x^2 + 3x - 2x + 3$

$\rightarrow x^3 + 2x^2 + x + 3$

Thus the resulting polynomial is found

a language arts test is worth 100 points there is a total of 26 questions . there are spelling word questions that ae worth 2 po

natka813 [3]

10 question of spelling words and 16 questions of vocabulary are present

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of spelling word questions

Let "y" be the number of vocabulary word question

<em><u>There is a total of 26 questions. Therefore, we get</u></em>

number of spelling word questions + number of vocabulary word question = 26

x + y = 26 --------- eqn 1

<em><u>There are spelling word questions that worth 2 points each and vocabulary word question worth 5 points each</u></em>

The language arts test is worth 100 points

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

number of spelling word questions x 2 + number of vocabulary word question x 5 = 100

$x \times 2 + y \times 5 = 100$

2x + 5y = 100 --------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

From eqn 1,

x = 26 - y ------- eqn 3

<em><u>Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2</u></em>

2(26 - y) + 5y = 100

52 - 2y + 5y = 100

3y = 100 - 52

3y = 48

<em><u>Substitute y = 16 in eqn 3</u></em>

x = 26 - 16

Thus 10 question of spelling words and 16 questions of vocabulary are present

HELP PLEASE

kifflom [539]

Answer:

2nd choice

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the inital peanuts, we multiply 32 ounces by 3/10 or 0.3. then we add x which are peanuts as well. that makes 0.3 x 32 + x. this is our total peanuts. to find the percantage, we find the whole mixture which is now 32 + x, divide peanuts by the whole mixture and multiply by 100.
