Answer:

A. 3 bags of oranges, 4 bags of apples

Step-by-step explanation:

If O is number of bags of oranges and A is number of bags of apples:

O + A = 7

5O + 3A = 27

We can solve this system of equations with either substitution or elimination. I like to use substitution, but you can use whichever you prefer.

O = 7 − A

5 (7 − A) + 3A = 27

35 − 5A + 3A = 27

35 − 2A = 27

8 = 2A

A = 4

O = 7 − A

O = 3

Answer:

solution,

$(\frac{1}{7} ) ^{3a + 3} = {343}^{a - 1} \\ or \: ( {7}^{ - 1} ) ^{3a + 3} = {(7}^{3} ) ^{a - 1} \\ or \: (7) ^{ - 3a - 3} = {(7)}^{3a - 3} \\ or \: - 3a - 3 = 3a - 33 \\ or \: - 3a - 3a = - 3 + 3 \\ or \: - 6a = 0 \\ \: a = 0$

hope this helps..

Find all the integers,b, that make up the trinomial x2 + bx + 10 factorable.

KonstantinChe [14]

By the fundamental theorem of algebra, we can write

$x^2+bx+10=(x-r_1)(x-r_2)$

Expanding the right hand side, we get

$x^2+bx+10=x^2-(r_1+r_2)x+r_1r_2\implies\begin{cases}r_1+r_2=-b\\r_1r_2=10\end{cases}$

We want $b$ to be an integer, which means $r_1,r_2$ must also be integers. This means $r_1,r_2$ must be factors of 10. There are several possibilities:
