Start by finding a common denominator.
In this case, it would be 21.
So, -12/21 + -28/21= -40/21

Joe spends 18.75% of his working day washing cars. He spends 1.5 hours washing cars. How many total hours does he work per day?

insens350 [35]

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe spends 18.75% of his working day washing cars.

Joe spends 1.5 hours washing car.

Therefore 18.75% is equal to 1.5 hour.

18.75% = 1.5 hour

1% = 1.5 ÷ 18.75 = 0.08 hour

100% = 0.08 x 100 = 8 hours

Find the values of k so that each remainder is three. 10. (x^2+ 5x + 7) = (x + k)

Goryan [66]

Answer:

$k=1\text{ or } k=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Polynomial Remainder Theorem. It states that if we divide a polynomial P(x) by a binomial in the form (x - a), then our remainder will be P(a).

We are dividing:

$(x^2+5x+7)\div(x+k)$

So, a polynomial by a binomial factor.

Our factor is (x + k) or (x - (-k)). Using the form (x - a), our a = -k.

We want our remainder to be 3. So, P(a)=P(-k)=3.

Therefore:

$(-k)^2+5(-k)+7=3$

Simplify:

$k^2-5k+7=3$

Solve for k. Subtract 3 from both sides:

$k^2-5k+4=0$

Factor:

$(k-1)(k-4)=0$

Zero Product Property:

$k-1=0\text{ or } k-4=0$

Solve:

$k=1\text{ or } k=4$

So, either of the two expressions:

$(x^2+5x+7)\div(x+1)\text{ or } (x^2+5x+7)\div(x+4)$

Will yield 3 as the remainder.
