Answer: hot dog = $1.75

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let h represent hot dogs and c represent bags of chips.

Customer 1: 4h + 2c = 9.00  →  3(4h + 2c = 9.00)  →  12h + 6c =  27.00

Customer 2: 5h + 3c = 11.75 → -2(5h + 3c = 11.75)  → <u>-10h - 6c </u>= <u>-23.50</u>

                                                                                       2h        =    3.50

                                                                                   <u>   ÷2        </u>    <u>   ÷2    </u>

                                                                                        h        =    1.75

The quotient of (x^3+3x^2-4x-12)/(x^2+5x+6)
Elis [28]

Answer: The quotient is (x-2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

f(x)=(x^3+3x^2-4x-12)\\\\and\\\\g(x)=x^2+5x+6\\\\So,\ \frac{\left(x^3+3x^2-4x-12\right)}{\left(x^2+5x+6\right)}

Now, we have to find the quotient of the above expression.

So, here we go:

Factorise\ (x^3+3x^2-4x-12)\\\\=\left(x^3+3x^2\right)+\left(-4x-12\right)\\\\=-4\left(x+3\right)+x^2\left(x+3\right)\\\\=\left(x+3\right)\left(x^2-4\right)

Now, we will divide the above simplest form with g(x):

\frac{\left(x+3\right)\left(x^2-4\right)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)}\\\\=\frac{x^2-4}{x+2}\\\\=\frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)}{x+2}\ using\ (a^2-b^2)=(a+b)(a-b)\\\\=x-2

Hence, the quotient is (x-2).

HELP ME PLEASE !!!!
lyudmila [28]

For this one, an easy way to solve it is to break it down into parts.  First lets convert 5 feet to inches.  

Multiply the number of feet by how many inches are in one foot.  

5 times 12= 60 in

Now just add the like terms

60 in + 2 in= 62 inches.

Now we see that Sarah is 62 inches tall, now we can convert to centimeters the same way.

62 times 2.54= 157.48

So that makes C your answer, Sarah is 157.48 cm tall.
