Answer:

It is a binomial with degree 3

Step-by-step explanation:

t has two terms: (−3xy2) and (5x2y) → it is a binomial

The degree of an expression is the largest sum of exponents of variables for any term in the expression.

−3xy2=−3x1y2 has a sum of exponents of variables =3

5x2y=5x2y1 also has a sum of exponents of variables =3

→ the expression has degree 3

Can the sum of two mixed fractions be less than 1?? Why or why not

stich3 [128]

Yes, because the mixed numbers could be a negative number like -1 1/2 plus -2 1/2 which would be -4 and -4 is less than one.

Cheryl falkowski has a collection of silver spoons from all over the world. she finds that she can arrange her spoons in sets of

Afina-wow [57]

There are a number of ways to approach this problem, including writing all the numbers that match one of the arrangements, such as for sets of 15:
.. 14, 29, 44, 59, 74, 89, 104, 119, 134, 149, 164, 179, 194 (separated by 15)
Modulo 8, these numbers are
.. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2
This reduces the numbers of interest to those that are 3 modulo 8:
.. 59, 179 (separated by 8*15 = 120)
Looking at these modulo 7, we have
.. 3, 4
pinpointing 179 as the number of spoons in Cheryl's collection.

The attachment shows a solution via graphing calculator. We simply added the absolute values of the differences of the remainders from the desired values and looked for where that sum was zero. This method, too, pointed to 179 as the solution to the problem.
