Find two mixed numbers so that the sum is 7 2/8 and the difference is 2 4/8

So let's name the numbers x and y.

we know that their sum, x+y is 7\frac{2}{8}

and that that their difference, x-y is 2\frac{4}{8}

so, from the last one we can find out x:

x-y=2\frac{4}{8}
x=2\frac{4}{8}+y


we can substitute this into the first one:

2\frac{4}{8}+y+y = 7\frac{2}{8}

2\frac{4}{8}+2y = 7\frac{2}{8}

2y=4\frac{6}{8} (7-2=5, but you have to "borrow" one because the fraction of the number from which you substract is smaller than of the other number)

so y=2\frac{3}{8}

then x will be
x=2\frac{4}{8}+2\frac{3}{8}
x=4\frac{7}{8}

You have to substitute. So like number 1 is 3+5 because the value of t is three. 2. is -2.
3. is -9.
4 is 0.
5 is -12.
6 is 24.
7 is -96.
8 is 64.
9 is 7.
10 is 2.

Given P(x) = 2x3 - 11x2 + 18x - 15 is divided by x – 3. Use synthetic division to find the quotient and the remainder.
katrin [286]
You can find the remainder right away by simply plugging in x=3. The polynomial remainder theorem guarantees that the value of p(3) is the remainder upon dividing p(x) by x-3, but I digress...

Synthetic division yields

3   |   2   -11   18   -15
.    |           6   -15     9
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
.    |   2     -5     3     -6

which translates to

\dfrac{2x^3-11x^2+18x-15}{x-3}=2x^2-5x+3-\dfrac6{x-3}

(and note that p(3)=2(3)^3-11(3)^2+18(3)-15=-6, as expected)

What is the slope of the line y = -5x +1 ?
laila [671]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

m = Slope value

b = y-intercept

So in this case,

y = (-5)x + b

m = -5

b = 1

Thus the answer is -5
