Answer:
x= -13
y= -28
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the two numbers, write a system of equations with x as one number and y as another:
x-y=15
5x=2y-9
Use substitution to substitute one equation into another. Then solve for the variable.
x=15+y into 5x=2y-9
becomes
5(15+y) = 2y-9
75+5y = 2y- 9
75+3y= -9
3y = -84
y= -28
To find x, substitute y= -28 into one equation.
x - (-28) = 15
x+28 =15
x = 15-28
x=-13
Answer:
F(x)=-x^2-4x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
According to PEMDAS, do the exponent part for the parentheses, sense it goes first.
F(x)= -(x^2+4x+4)+3
Then distribute the - sign
F(x)= -x^2-4x-4+3
Then you simplify
F(x)= -x^2-4x-1
Let x be the no of boxes.
120x = 14501
x = 14501/120
Upon division the quotient +1 = The no of boxes required and
The remainder is the amount of popcorn in the last box
No of boxes = 121 boxes
Kernels in the last box = 101 kernels
