Answer:

430p

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, we'll find the least common multiple for 15 and 18.

=> The least common multiple for 15 and 18 is 90

<u><em>Plastic Knives:</em></u>

Jace will buy 90 knives.  

=> Packets = 90/18 = 5 Packets

Money for 5 Packets = 5 * 45

=> 225p

<u><em>Plastic Forks:</em></u>

Jace will buy 90 forks also.

=> Packets = 90/15 = 6 Packets

Money fro 6 packets = 6 * 41

=> 205p

<u><em>Least Amount of Money Jace will spend</em></u> = 225p+205p

=> 430p

The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1
Anarel [89]

Answer: The number is 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1

The nth term of a different sequence is 30–n²

We want to find a number that belongs to both sequences (it is not necessarily for the same value of n) then we can use n in one term (first one), and m in the other (second one), such that n and m must be integer numbers.

we get:

3n²- 1 =  30–m²

Notice that as n increases, the terms of the first sequence also increase.

And as n increases, the terms of the second sequence decrease.

One way to solve this, is to give different values to m (m = 1, m = 2, etc) and see if we can find an integer value for n.

if m = 1, then:

3n²- 1 =  30–1²

3n²- 1 = 29

3n² = 30

n² = 30/3 = 10

n² = 10

There is no integer n such that n² = 10

now let's try with m = 2, then:

3n²- 1 =  30–2² = 30 - 4

3n²- 1 = 26

3n² = 26 + 1 = 27

n² = 27/3 = 9

n² = 9

n = √9 = 3

So here we have m = 2, and n = 3, both integers as we wanted, so we just found the term that belongs to both sequences.

the number is:

3*(3)² - 1 = 26

30 - 2² = 26

The number that belongs to both sequences is 26.

Solve the inequality:<br>(x+2)/(x^2-3x)&gt;0​
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The inequality is equivalent to x(x+2)(x−3)>0 , with the additional conditions that x≠0 and x≠3 .

Since x(x+2)(x−3) only changes signs when crossing −2 , 0 and 3 , from the fact that the evaluating the polynomial at 4 yields 24 , we see that the polynomial is

positive over (3,∞)

negative over (0,3)

positive over (−2,0)

negative over (−∞,−2)

Thus the solution set for your inequality is (−2,0)∪(3,∞) .

Good morning ☕️

______

Answer:

4

____________________

Step-by-step explanation:

Just solve the equation 5-√x = 3

So, let’s solve it:

5-√x = 3 ⇔ 5-3=√x ⇔ √x = 2 ⇔ x=4

Then ?=4

I need help with this is dont really understand it
user100 [1]

Answer:

y = 10x + 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + c

Here  the slope m = 10 and c = 6 ( the y-intercept)

It's 6 because the point (0, 6) lies on the y-axis (where x = 0).

Ryan buys some jumpers to sell on a stall.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

£312

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount spent on 60 jumpers = £120

80% of the jumpers :

0.8 * 60 = 48 jumpers

Sales price for 80% = £8 each

Total = £8 * 48 = £384

The remain at an half price offer :

Half price = £8 / 2 = £4

£4 * (60 - 48)

£4 * 12 = £48

Total sales revenue = £(48 + 384) = £432

Total profit made :

Total sales revenue - purchase price

£432 - £120

= £312
