Given:
child = 2 forks
adult = 5 forks
total number of forks = 2992
total number of people = 764

c + a = 764
2c + 5a = 2992

find the value of c using the 1st equation.

c = 764 - a

substitute c in the 2nd equation by its value

2c + 5a = 2992
2(764-a) + 5a = 2992

1528 - 2a + 5a = 2992
1528 + 3a = 2992
3a = 2992 - 1528
3a = 1464
3a/3 = 1464/3
a = 488

c = 764 - a
c = 764 - 488
c = 276

child = 276 ; adult = 488

2c + 5a = 2992
2(276) + 5(488) = 2992
552 + 2440 = 2992
2992 = 2992

When the solution to the equation 5(x+4)=5x-3? A.x=20 c.there is no solution D.there are infinite solutions...
MissTica

Answer:

The sides are not equal

Therefore, there is NO SOLUTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

5\left(x+4\right)=5x-3

Expanding

5x+20=5x-3

subtract 20 from both sides

5x+20-20=5x-3-20

5x=5x-23

subtract 5x from both sides

5x-5x=5x-23-5x

0=-23

The sides are not equal

Therefore, there is NO SOLUTION.

As we can observe,
Angle x and 40° forms a linear pair.

so,
x+40 = 180
x = 140°

Measure of Angle x will be 140°.

Is (x+7) a factor of f(x)= x^3-3x^2+2x-8
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use synthetic division to answer this.  If the remainder is zero, then we can safely assume the divisor (x + 7) is a factor of the polynomial f(x)= x^3-3x^2+2x-8.

We use -7 as the divisor in synth. div.  This comes from the factor (x + 7):

-7   /    1    3     2     -8

               -7   28  -210

     -------------------------

         1      -4   30   -218

Here, the remainder is -218, not zero, so no, (x+7) is not a factor of f(x)= x^3-3x^2+2x-8.
