We let x represent number 1 and let y represent number 2. In this case, the first statement is translated into an expression: y - x  = 25 while the second statement is expreesed as x = y/6. Solving the two euqations simultaneously, y is equal to 30 and x is equal to 5.  hence, answer is 5

For a polynomial p(x), the value of p(3) is −2. Which of the following must be true about p(x)?
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor theorem states if (x - h) is a factor of a polynomial p(x) then

p(h) = 0

However, p(h) ≠ 0 then the value obtained is the remainder.

Thus

p(3) = - 2

When p(x) is divided by (x - 3) then the remainder is - 2

What is the quotient when (x+3) is divided into the polynomial 2x2+3x-9
maks197457 [2]
Problem: 2x^2+3x-9
For a polynomial of the form, ax^2+bx+c rewrite the middle term as the sum of two terms whose product a·c=2·-9=-18 and whose sum is b=3.
Factor 3 out of 3x
2x^2+3(x)-9
Rewrite 3 as -3 plus 6.
2x^2+(-3+6)x-9
Apply the distributive property
2x^2(-3x+6x)-9
Remove the parentheses
2x^2-3x+6x-9
Factor out the greatest common factor from each group
Group the first two terms and the last two terms
(2x^2-3x) (6x-9)
Factor out the greatest common factor in each group.
x(2x-3)+3(2x-3)
Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, 2x-3
(x+3) (2x-3). So, the quotient is 2x-3
