Answer:

1060 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

let the weight of the orange be x, then

pineapple weighs 7x, and also x + 870

equating the 2 expressions for the weight of the pineapple

7x = x + 870 ( subtract x from both sides )

6x = 870 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 145

The orange weighs 145 grams and the pineapple 145 + 870 = 1015 grams

Total weight of both = 145 + 1015 = 1060 grams

Answer: $\frac{15+8a}{15a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$=\frac{1}{3a} +\frac{3}{5} -\frac{1}{15}+ \frac{2}{3a} \\= \frac{1}{3a} +\frac{8}{15} +\frac{2}{3a} \\=\frac{5+8a+10}{15a} \\=\frac{15+8a}{15a}$

Answer:

M = 7x² +21

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the unwanted terms on the left from both sides.

(-7x² +6x -16) + M = 6x +5

M = 6x +5 -(-7x² +6x -16)

M = 7x² +21 . . . . simplify

Use synthetic division to show that the number given to the right of the equation is a solution of the equation. Then solve the

AysviL [449]

Answer:

$x = 2 \: or \: x = - 2 \: or \: x = - \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial equation is

$2 {x}^{3} + {x}^{2} - 8x - 4 = 0$

We perform the synthetic division as shown in the attachment by dividing by x-2.

This gives a remainder of 0 and a quotient of

$2 {x}^{2} + 5x + 2$

This means the polynomial equation becomes:

$(x - 2)(2 {x}^{2} + 5x + 2) = 0$

We factor the quadratic term by splitting the middle term;

$(x - 2)(2 {x}^{2} + 4x +x + 2) = 0$

$(x - 2)(2 x(x+ 2) +1(x + 2) )= 0$

Collect common factors again:

$(x - 2)((x+ 2)(2x + 1) = 0$

The solution is:

$x = 2 \: or \: x = - 2 \: or \: x = - \frac{1}{2}$
