Answer:

The smaller board would be 2.75 feet and the longer one would be 10.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, assume the shorter board is equal to x. Next, we would know that the longer board would be equal to x + 7.5. Using these two assumptions, we can add the lengths together, set equal to 13 and then solve for x.

x + (x + 7.5) = 13

2x + 7.5 = 13

2x = 5.5

x = 2.75

Now that we have the length of the shorter board, we can add 7.5 to it to get the larger one.

2.75 + 7.5 = 10.25

Two friends are collecting stuffed animals. Veronica has 5 more than double the number of stutted
STatiana [176]

v + m = 32 and v = 5 + 2m are the equations that are used  to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has

Number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let "v" be the number of stuffed animals with Veronica

Let "m" be the number of stuffed animals with Mariposa

Given that,

Together, they have 32 stuffed animals

Therefore,

v + m = 32  --------- eqn 1

Veronica has 5 more than double the number of stutted  animals as her friend Mariposa

Therefore,

Number of stuffed animals with Veronica = 5 + 2(number of stuffed animals with Mariposa)

v = 5 + 2m ---------- eqn 2

Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 can be used to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

5 + 2m + m = 32

5 + 3m = 32

3m = 32 - 5

3m = 27

<h3>m = 9</h3>

Substitute m = 9 in eqn 2

v = 5 + 2(9)

v = 5 + 18

<h3>v = 23</h3>

Thus number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23

Divide -3x^3-2x^2-x-2 by x-2
Rasek [7]

Let's do this by Briot-Ruffini


First: Find the monomial root


x - 2 = 0

x = 2


Second: Allign this root with all the other coeficients from equation

Equation = -3x³ - 2x² - x - 2

Coeficients = -3, -2, -1, -2

2 | -3 -2 -1 -2


Copy the first coeficient


2 | -3 -2 -1 -2

-3


Multiply him by the root and sum with the next coeficient


2.(-3) = -6

-6 + (-2) = -8


2 | -3 -2 -1 -2

-3 -8


Do the same


2.(-8) = -16

-16 + (-1) = -17


2 | -3 -2 -1 -2

-3 -8 -17


The same,


2.(-17) = -34

-34 + (-2) = -36


2 | -3 -2 -1 -2

-3 -8 -17 -36


Now you just need to put the "x" after all these numbers with one exponent less, see


2 | -3x³ - 2x² - 1x - 2

-3x² - 8x - 17 -36


You may be asking what exponent -36 should be, and I say:


None or the monomial. He's like the rest of this division, so you can say:


(-3x³ - 2x² - x - 2)/(x - 2) = -3x² - 8x - 17 with rest -36 or you can say:

(-3x³ - 2x² - x - 2)/(x - 2) = -3x² - 8x - 17 - 36/(x - 2)


Just divide the rest by the monomial.
