18=p+d+n, 3p=d, 2n=d
The lowest number that is divisible by 3&2 is 6 so, there is 6 nickels.
There is 6 nickels and there is half of that in dimes, 3 dimes.
There is three times the amount of pennies of dimes. 3*3=9. There is 9 pennies.
6 nickels + 3 dimes + 9 pennies= 18 coins
17-9 = 8
8 is your answer.
Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:
25% is the same as 1/4 of something.
So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.
You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.
If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.
Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:
If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).
That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.
***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***
Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).
So
25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%
If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:
2+2+2+2 = 8
It checks out!
Hope this helps!

x = ³/₄y - 2
-16x + 4y = 32
-16(³/₄y - 2) + 4y = 32
-16(³/₄y) + 16(2) + 4y = 32
-12y + 32 + 4y = 32
-12y + 4y + 32 = 32
-8y + 32 = 32

f(x) can be written as (x+2)(x-2)(x-1)
by using difference of two squares to expand x^2 - 4 whch yields 3 x intercepts
similarly, k(x) can be written as
x(x+5)(x-5) which also yields 3
x intercepts (0,-5, and 5)
