Answer:

The answer is 31 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to find a number that gives a remainder of 1 when divided by both 2, 3 and 5.

The easiest way to do this is to list the factors of 5, add 1 to it, and test them until we find the one with a remainder of 1 by all three divisors. This is done as follows:

1) factor: 5 (+1) = 6

6 ÷ 2 = 3 remainder 0

6 ÷ 3 = 2 remainder 0

since there is a remainder of 0, when divided by 3, 6 is wrong

2) factor; 10 (+1) = 11

11 ÷ 3 = 3 remainder 2 ( 11 is not the correct answer

3) factor : 15 (+1) = 16

16 ÷ 2 = 8 remainder 0 ( 16 is  not the correct answer

4) factor : 20(+1) = 21

21 ÷ 3 = 7 remainder 0 ( 21 is wrong)

5) factor : 25(+1) = 26

26 ÷ 2 = 13 remainder 0 ( 26 is wrong)

6) factor : 30(+1) = 31

31 ÷ 2 = 15 Remainder 1

31 ÷ 3 = 10 Remainder 1

31 ÷ 5 = 6 Remainder 1

since all three divisors give a remainder of 1, the correct answer is 31

Therefore you have 31 pwnnies

Answer:

<em>Solution; x = - 2, x = 5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation 2x^2 + 2x + 12 = 3x^2 - x + 2;

2x^2 + 2x + 12 = 3x^2 - x + 2 ⇒ Subtract 2 from either side,

2x^2 + 2x + 10 = 3x^2 - x ⇒ Add x on either side,

2x^2 + 2x + 10 = 3x^2 ⇒ Subtract 3x^2 on either side, simplifying result,

- x^2 + 3x + 10 = 0 ⇒ Factor out common term - 1,

- ( x^2 - 3x - 10 ) = 0 ⇒ Break expression into groups,

- ( x^2 + 2x ) + ( - 5x - 10 ) = 0⇒ Factor x from x^2 + 2x , and - 5 from - 5x - 10,

- ( x( x + 2 ) ) - 5( x + 2 ) = 0 ⇒ Factor out common term x + 2,

- ( x + 2 )( x - 5 ) = 0 ⇒ Apply Zero Factor Principle,

x + 2 = 0, and x - 5 = 0 ⇒ Simplify,

<em>Solution; x = - 2, x = 5</em>
