Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

(5 - a) = 20 + (6a -1) . . . . . 5-a is 20 greater than 6a-1

5 = 7a +19 . . . . . . . . . . . . . add a, collect terms

-14 = 7a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 19

-2 = a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7

The value of the variable is -2.

_____

<u>Check</u>

5 - (-2) = 7

6(-2) -1 = -13

7 is 20 greater than -13, so the answer checks OK.

otez555 [7]

Answer: The budget of Alexa is increased by $100.

Explanation:

It is given that the current income of Alexa is 3 times of her previous income.

Her previous salary was $800 and current salary was $2400.

Expenses =   Rent  + Utilities  + Groceries  + Savings  + Bus

The sum of previous expenses is,

Previous expenses = $300 + $60 + $200 + $100 + $30 = $690

The sum of current expenses is,

Current expenses = $300 + $60 + $250 + $150+ $30 = $790

Effect of income on expenses is the difference of current expenses and previous expenses.

Effect of income on expenses = $790 - $690 = $100

Therefore, the budget of Alexa is increased by $100.

What is the least possible degree of a polynomial that has roots -5, 1+4i, and -4i
N76 [4]
If complex coefficients are allowed, the answer is 3.

If the polynomial must have real coefficients, then each complex root comes as a pair of complex conjugate roots.

Root -5 is real, so that is 1 root, and degree 1.

Root 1 + 4i is complex, so it must come with its complex conjugate, 1 - 4i. This adds 2 roots to the polynomial, and now we're up to degree 3.

Root -4i is also complex. It also must come with its complex conjugate, 4i. That adds two more roots, and the degree is 5.

Answer: The least possible degree is 5 with real coefficients.
