400 + (n-1) (-5) = 322 + (n-1) (-3)
-5n + 5 = 322 
-3n + 3    | 405 - 5n
               =325 - 3n
80=2n
n=40            n - 1 = 39    

 Answer = 39 , 39 weeks until they weigh the same

Using factor theorem , show that (x -4) is a factor 2x3 + x2 -26x - 40 and hence factorize completely.
notka56 [123]

Step-by-step explanation:

if x-4 is a factor of 2x^3 + x^2- 26x - 40

then f(4) = 0

f(x) = 2x^3 + x^2- 26x - 40

f(4) = 2(4)^3 + (4)^2 - 26(4) - 40

f(4)= 2(64) + 16 - 104 - 40

f(4) = 128 + 16 - 104 - 40

f(4) = 0

hence factorize completely is the photo
