Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = number of pieces of chocolate bought by Amin.
Let b = number of pieces of chocolate bought by Bob.
b = 2a
(a - 3)(b - 3) = 14
ab - 3a - 3b + 9 = 14
a(2a) - 3a - 3(2a) = 5
2a^2 - 3a - 6a = 5
2a^2 - 9a - 5 = 0
(2a + 1)(a - 5) = 0
2a + 1 = 0 or a - 5 = 0
a = -1/2 or a = 5
Amin cannot have bought -1/2 pieces of chocolate, so we discard the soluion a = -1/2.
a = 5
Answer: 5
Percent means parts ot of 100
10%=10/100=1/10
'of' means mutily
10% of what=14
1/10 times what=14
mutiply both sides by 10
what=140
the number is 140
Answer:
(f - g)(x) = x² - 3x - 70
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
<u>Algebra I</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(x) = x² - 2x - 63
g(x) = x + 7
(f - g)(x) is f(x) - g(x)
<u>Step 2: Find (f - g)(x)</u>
- Substitute: (f - g)(x) = x² - 2x - 63 - (x + 7)
- Distribute -1: (f - g)(x) = x² - 2x - 63 - x - 7
- Combine like terms (x): (f - g)(x) = x² - 3x - 63 - 7
- Combine like terms (Z): (f - g)(x) = x² - 3x - 70
