21 picks
altogether (2x+5x)=21
7x=21
x=3
2*3=6 orange picks

or
x=orange, y = greens
x+y=21
x/y=2/5,---->   y=5x/2
x+5x/2=21
2x/2+5x/2=21
7x/2=21
7x=42,
x=6  orange picks

a boat can travel 30 miles upstream in the same amount of time you can travel 50 miles Downstream. If the speed of the current i
almond37 [142]
Speed, S = Distance (d) / Time (t) => S= d/t => t= d/S

Let the speed of boat in still water be x mph

Resulting speed upstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 30 miles
Resulting speed downstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 50 miles

Time taken in both distances is equal.
Therefore,

30/(x-4) = 50/(x+4) => 30(x+4) = 50(x-4) => 30x+120 = 50x-200 => 120+200 = (50-30)x => 20x = 320 => x=320/20 = 16 mph

The speed of boat in still water is 16 mph.

What is 3/2 x + 30 degrees
jekas [21]

Sum of internal angles of any triangle = 180∘

∴x + 2x + 3x = 180∘
∴6x = 180∘
∴ x = 30∘

So the angles are: 30∘, 60∘ and 90∘

Is (x-4) a factor of f(x) = x3 - 2x2 + 5x + 1? Use either the remainder theorem or the factor theorem to explain your reasoning.
Virty [35]

Answer:

(x-4) is not a factor of f(x)=x³-2x²+5x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Uding the remainder theorem,(x-4) is a factor if the remainder is 0

Plug in x=4

(4)³-2(4)²+5(4)+1

64-32+20+1
