Answer:

Total Number of eggs in the basket = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

The n be number of eggs and n is  between 50 and 60.

So, the possible outcomes are 50, 51, 52, .... , 59 and 60.

If the eggs are counted in 5's, the left over eggs are 4.

Hence, the number of eggs is NOT COMPLETELY DIVISIBLE by 5

So, n ≠ 50, 55 and 60.

If the eggs are counted in 3's  the leftover eggs are  2.

Hence, the number of eggs is NOT COMPLETELY DIVISIBLE by 3

n ≠ 51, 54, 57 and 60.

Now,  the possible values of <u>n = 52, 53, 56, 58 and 59.</u>

Checking for 52, when counted in 5, left over eggs are 2(as 5 x 10=50)

Checking for 53, when counted in 5, left over eggs are 3(as 3 x 10=50)

Checking for 56, when counted in 5, left over eggs are 1

Checking for 58, when counted in 5, left over eggs are 3

Checking for 59, when counted in 5, left over eggs are 4 and when counted in 3, left over eggs are 2.

Hence, TOTAL NUMBER OF EGGS IN THE BASKET ARE 59 as it satisfies bot the given conditions.

Answer:

The number of eggs in the basket is 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Let The number of eggs in the basket = 3x + 5x

When Loza counts 3's , there are 2 eggs left over

I.e , 3 ( x - 2 )

And  When Loza counts 5's , there are 4 eggs left over

I.e 5 ( x - 4 )

∴ 3 x - 6 = 5 x - 20

Or, 20 - 6 = 5 x - 3 x

Or,  14 = 2 x

∴     x = 7

So, the number of eggs = 3 × 7 + 5 × 7

                                        = 21 + 35 = 56

Hence The number of eggs in the basket is 56   Answer

What is y=-2/3 x + 4 in standard form?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

2x + 3y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is Ax + By = C, A, B and C must be intergers, cannot be  fractions or decimals

y = -2/3x + 4 First we want to get rid of  the fractions.  There is only one, so if we multiply both sides by 3 that should do it.

3y = -2x + 12 Now make the constant be on one side by itself

2x + 3y = 12

What is the answer to -6n^2 - 5n - 7 = -8
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

n = \frac{1}{3} , n = \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

6n² - 5n - 7 = - 8 ( add 8 to both sides )

6n² - 5n + 1 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the product of the factors of the coefficient of the n² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term

product = 6 × 1 = 6 and sum = - 5

The factors are - 3 and - 2

Use these factors to split the n- term

6n² - 3n - 2n + 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

3n(2n - 1) - 1(2n - 1) = 0 ← factor out (2n - 1) from each term

(2n - 1)(3n - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for n

3n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3n = 1 ⇒ n = \frac{1}{3}

2n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2n = 1 ⇒ n = \frac{1}{2}
