You would have 10 muffins left because 1/3 of 15 is 5 so 15-5=10

If you split 15 muffins into 3 groups, youre going to have 5 muffins in each group. so if you give a friend 1 out of the 3 groups, youre going to have 10 muffins left.

kompoz [17]

Given:

Total savings = $400

Ratio of savings of Blake and Josh = 3:1

To find:

The saving of each.

Solution:

Let the savings of Blake and Josh are 3x and x respectively.

According to the question,

$3x+x=400$

$4x=400$

Divide both sides by 4.

$x=100$

Now,

Savings of Blake = 3(100)=300

Savings of Josh =100

Therefore, the savings of Blake and Josh are $300 and $100 respectively.

FACTOR the following quadratic expression: x^2-3x-18. Clearly show your steps OR explain your reasoning and CHECK your answer by

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The factors of x² - 3·x - 18, are;

(x - 6), (x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic expression is presented as follows;

x² - 3·x - 18

To factorize the given expression, we look for two numbers, which are the constant terms in the factors, such that the sum of the numbers is -3, while the product of the numbers is -18

By examination, we have the numbers -6, and 3, which gives;

-6 + 3 = -3

-6 × 3 = -18

Therefore, we can write;

x² - 3·x - 18 = (x - 6) × (x + 3)

Which gives;

(x - 6) × (x + 3) = x² + 3·x - 6·x - 18 = x² - 3·x - 18

Therefore, the factors of the expression, x² - 3·x - 18, are (x - 6) and (x + 3)
