Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x² - 3x + 5
f(-2) = (-2)² - 3.(-2) + 5
f(-2) = 4 + 6 + 5
f(-2) = 15
Answer:
Simple, no. This would not be enough.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because you mentioned that there are 20 students and each of them needed 2 plates. So, there would need to be at least 40 plates. Forks seem irrelevant in this question but if the teacher has 8 plates in 1 box and another 8 in the second box, that would sum up to 16 plates that are available. And the fact that the box doesn't even include the other items, should hint the lack of items available for the students.
This question seemed worded differently. But tried my best. :)
Let x be a number of skateboards and y be the number of bicycles in Eddie's repair shop.
Eddie asks the girls to order 54 new wheels for 21 skateboards and bicycles, then
x+y=21.
One scateboard has 4 wheels, then x scateboards have 4x wheels, one bicycle has 2 wheels, then y bicycles have 2y wheels. In total there should be ordered 54 wheels, so
4x+2y=54.
Solve the system of equations:
From the first equation 
Substitute it into the second equation:
Then
Answer: 6 scateboards and 15 bicycles.
