5% = 0.5
0.5n = 85
Divide by 0.5
0.5n = 85
/0.5 /0.5
n = 170.
The number is 170.
Answer:
(-2, -4.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this equation with substitution.
x=2y+7
3x-2y=3
We can "substitute" 2y+7 for x into the second equation:
3(2y+7)-2y=3
Distribute the 3
6y+21-2y=3
Add like terms
4y+21=3
Subtract 21 from both sides
4y=-18
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate y
y=-4.5
Plug -4.5 back in for y:
x=2(-4.5)+7
x=-9+7
x=-2
(x,y)=(-2,-4.5)
The answer is 9.53939201417
Clearly, we can see that x+2 is a factor of the given polynomial.
