Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

M = 2J

M = H + 7

M + J + H = 53

Then combine first two equations and solve in terms of J:

2J = H + 7 --> H = 2J - 7

Substitute for H & M in last equation:

2J + J + 2J - 7 = 53

5J - 7 = 53

5J = 60

J = 12

Then plug J into other equations:

M = 24

J =12

H = 17

Five times the sum of 3 and twice some numbers is 70. What is the number?
Anna11 [10]
Let x represent some number
Sum of 3 and twice some number = 3 +2x
Five times the sum of 3 and twice some number: 5(3+2x)

5(3+2x)=70
15+10x=70
Subtract 15 from both sides to have 10x by itself
10x=55
Divide 10 on both sides to get x by itself
x=55/10
x=5.5

Hope this helped

If 2i is a zero of f(x)=x^4+x^2+a, find the value of a
Sedbober [7]

By the polynomial remainder theorem, because <em>x</em> = 2<em>i</em> is a zero of <em>f(x)</em>, we have no remainder upon dividing <em>f(x)</em> by <em>x</em> - 2<em>i</em>.

Computing the quotient yields

\dfrac{x^4+x^2+a}{x-2i} = x^3+2ix^2-3x-6i+\dfrac{12+a}{x-2i}

Then if the remainder term is 0, follows that <em>a</em> = -12.
