Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
-x = 4 - 3x + 6
3x-x = 4 + 6
2x = 10
x = 5
Let
x-------> total peanuts originally from the bag
we know that
1) Phillip took 1/3 of the peanuts from the bag--------> (1/3)*x
remaining=x-(1/3)*x-------> (2/3)*x
2) Joy took 1/4 of the remaining peanuts-------> (1/4)*[(2/3)*x]----> (1/6)*x
remaining= (2/3)*x-(1/6)*x------> (1/2)*x
3) Brett took 1/2 of the remaining peanuts------> (1/2)*(1/2)*x-----> (1/4)*x
remaining= (1/2)*x-(1/4)*x-------> (1/4)*x
4) Preston took 10 peanuts------> 10
(1/4)*x-10=71----> multiply by 4 both sides----> x-40=284----> x=324 peanuts
5) Total originally peanuts from the bag is equal to 324 peanuts
6) Phillip took (1/3)*x-----> (1/3)*324=108 peanuts
7) Joy took (1/6)*x------> (1/6)*324=54 peanuts
8) Brett took (1/4)*x------> (1/4)*324=81 peanuts
9) Preston took 10
so
check
108+54+81+10=253
remaining=324-253------> remaining=71-------> is correct
The answer is 48 because 8 times 9
Yes it does because question back no remove
Answer:
Explanation:
7. f(x) = x^4 + 3x^3 - 6x^2 - 10x + 8
f(2) = 2^4 + 2^3 - 6^2 - 10(2) + 8
f(2) = 16 + 8 - 12 - 20 + 8
f(2) = 0
8. x^2 - 9 = (x - 3)(x + 3)
x ^2 + x - 6 = (x + 3)(x -2)
Thus, the common factor is x + 3
