If 3 pounds of potato salad feeds 15 people, then 1 pound of potato salad would feed 5 people. Now divide 200 by 5 to get the number of pounds. 200/5 = 40 pounds

Sergio [31]

Answer:

The values of p in the equation are 0 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to make the denominators the same. to do that, first factor 2p^2-7p-4 = \left(2p+1\right)\left(p-4\right)2p

2

−7p−4=(2p+1)(p−4)

So then the equation looks like:

\frac{p}{2p+1}-\frac{2p^2+5}{(2p+1)(p-4)}=-\frac{5}{p-4}

2p+1

p

−

(2p+1)(p−4)

2p

2

+5

=−

p−4

5

To make the denominators equal, multiply 2p+1 with p-4 and p-4 with 2p+1:

\frac{p^2-4p}{(2p+1)(p-4)}-\frac{2p^2+5}{(2p+1)(p-4)}=-\frac{10p+5}{(p-4)(2p+1)}

(2p+1)(p−4)

p

2

−4p

−

(2p+1)(p−4)

2p

2

+5

=−

(p−4)(2p+1)

10p+5

Since, this has an equal sign we 'get rid of' or 'forget' the denominator and only solve the numerator.

(p^2-4p)-(2p^2+5)=-(10p+5)(p

2

−4p)−(2p

2

+5)=−(10p+5)

Now, solve like a normal equation. Solve (p^2-4p)-(2p^2+5)(p

2

−4p)−(2p

2

+5) first:

(p^2-4p)-(2p^2+5)=-p^2-4p-5(p

2

−4p)−(2p

2

+5)=−p

2

−4p−5

-p^2-4p-5=-10p+5−p

2

−4p−5=−10p+5

Combine like terms:

-p^2-4p+0=-10p−p

2

−4p+0=−10p

-p^2+6p=0−p

2

+6p=0

Factor:

p=0, p=6p

Which expressions are equivalent to -2(5x-1)+7(5x-1)-3(-5x+1)
blondinia [14]

Answer:

x=1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we will have to open the bracket first

So let's go back to the given question

-2(5x-1)+7(5x-1)-3(-5x+1)

We can actually equate the equation to zero

Let's solve

-10x+2+35x-7+15x-3=0

Let's collect like terms

-10x+35x+15x=-2+7+3

40x=8

Let's make x the subject of formula by dividing both sides by 40

x=1/5

So the final answer is 1/5

Alex scored 98,72, and 87 on his first three math test. What must he score on the next test to have an average of at least 86 (P
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\text{At least an } 87\%}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find what score Alex must earn to have an average of 86 on all his tests, we need to first note what the formula to find the average of a data set is.

\displaystyle \frac{x_1+x_2+...x_n}{n}

What the formula means is that we have to add up all the values then divide by the total number of values.

Let's represent our unknown number as x.

\displaystyle \frac{98+72+87+x}{4} \geq 86 (since we want AT LEAST an 86).

Let's solve this inequality for x.

  • \frac{98+72+87+x}{4} \cdot 4 \geq 86 \cdot 4
  • 98+72+87+x \geq 344
  • 257 + x \geq 344
  • 257 + x  - 257 \geq 344 - 257
  • x \geq 87

So, Alex must score at least an 87% on his next quiz to have an average of 86%.

Hope this helped!
