Answer:

The numbers are 14 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the numbers be x. The second number we are told is 3 less than twice x. The second number will thus be;

2x - 3

The sum of the numbers is thus;

x + (2x - 3) = 3x - 3

But the sum of the numbers is said to be 39, therefore;

3x - 3 = 39

3x = 42

x = 14

The second number is thus;

2(14) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25

Don ate 160 grams of carbohydrates, 100 grams of fat, and 70 grams of protein today. What is his total calorie consumption for t

Artemon [7]

Answer:

His total calorie consumption for the day is:

Option C. 1.820 kcal

Step-by-step explanation:

Protein and carbohydrates both contain 4 calories per gram, while fat provides 9 calories per gram, then:

1.) 160 grams of carbohydrates contain:

160 grams * (4 cal/gram)=640 cal

2.) 100 grams of fat contain:

100 grams * (9 cal/gram)=900 cal

3.) 70 grams of protein contain:

70 grams * (4 cal/gram)=280 cal

Then, his total calorie consumption for the day is:

T=640 cal + 900 cal +280 cal

T=1,820 cal

T=1,820 cal (1 kcal / 1,000 cal)

T=1.820 kcal

Answer:

2x^3 +3x^2 +9x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

Polynomial long division works best with the polynomials written in standard form, with appropriate 0 terms added where necessary to account for all of the powers of the variable.

As shown in the "Hints," the quotient terms are the ratio of the leading dividend term and the leading divisor term. The product of the quotient term and divisor is subtracted from the dividend to get the new dividend at each step.

The result of your division is 2x^3 +3x^2 +9x +3.
