Answer: 13 people (I think)

Step-by-step explanation:

I didn't use a set equation to solve the problem, but I added 1+2+3+4... (and so on) until I got a number that was over 100. When I got to 14, the number reached 105, meaning that 13 people were able to get the number of chocolates that they desired. The fourteenth person was short 5 chocolates.

Please feel free to ask me any further questions you have! Have a wonderful day!

What is the greatest common factor (gcf) of the numerator and denominator in the rational expression below? 7x+14/2x^2+x-6
Mashutka [201]
The answer is C. The numerator 7x+14 can be factored as 7(x+2). The denominator 2x^2+2x-6 can be factored as (x+2)(2x-3). The greatest common divisor of 7(x+2) and (x+2)(2x-3) is obviously x+2, which is contained in both of the two expressions.

(b) Paul uses the function y = 8x + 40 to model the situation. What score does the model predict for 3 h of homework? WILL MARK
Bess [88]
Assuming that x is the amount of hours spent doing homework:

Plug in 3 for x

y = 8(3)+40, y=64

That means that since a y value is the test score (because that's what the y-axis is labeled), your predicted test score is a 64.
