Let's say each row has x desks and there are y rows.
We then know that x*y =25
We also know that x*2-5=y (number number of rows is five less than twice the number of desks in each row)
So we substitute: x*(x*2-5)=25
putting numbers out of the brackets:
2x*x-5x=25
2x*x-5x-25=0
(2x+5)(x-5)=0 (this bracketing is true: you can check it by expanding it:
2x*x-10x+5x-25
So that means that either x=-2.5which can't be : there can't be a fractional number of benches,
or x=5
so each row has 5 desks and there are 2*5-5 rows, or 5 rows.
Answer:
B 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the divisor is in the form of <em>x - c</em>, use what is called Synthetic Division. Remember, in this formula, -c gives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so do not forget it. Anyway, here is how it is done:
2| -2 1 5 0 4 1
↓ -4 -6 -2 -4 0
_________________
-2 -3 -1 -2 0 1→ -2x⁴ - 3x³ - x² -2x + [x - 2]⁻¹
You start by placing the <em>c</em> in the top left corner, then list all the coefficients of your dividend [-2x⁵ + x⁴ + 5x³ + 4x + 1]. You bring down the original term closest to <em>c</em> then begin your multiplication. Now depending on what symbol your result is, tells you whether the next step is to <em>subtract</em> or <em>add</em>, then you continue this process starting with multiplication all the way up until you reach the end. Now, when the last term is 0, that means you have no remainder. Finally, your quotient is one degree less than your dividend, so that -2 in your quotient can be a -2x⁴, and the -3 [x³] follows right behind it, then 1 [-x²], -2[x], and finally, [1\x - 2] (remainder is 1, so set it over your denominator, which is the divisor), giving you the other factor of -2x⁴ - 3x³ - x² -2x + [x - 2]⁻¹.

Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "a number" = x
44 = 8x - 4
Simplify. Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First add 4 to both sides:
44 (+4) = 8x - 4 (+4)
44 + 4 = 8x
48 = 8x
Isolate the variable, x. Divide 8 from both sides:
(48)/8 = (8x)/8
x = 48/8
x = 6
6 is your answer.
