Answer:

32 and 46.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x - 14

x + y + 7 = 85

x + y = 78

From the first equation:

-x + y = -14 Adding the last 2 equations:

2y = 64

y = 32

and from the first equation (y = x - 14) :

32 = x - 14

x = 32 + 14 = 46.

Hi! Lets see if anyone can do this!

In order to factor a polynomial $P(x)$ , you have to find its roots $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$ . Then, you can write

$P(x)=a(x-x_1)(x-x_2)\ldots(x-x_n)$

where $a$ is the leading coefficient of $P(x)$

a: Let's try to solve

$12u^2+5u+3=0$

the disciminant of this quadratic function is

$\Delta = b^2-4ac=25-144=-119$

So, this quadratic function has no roots, which implies that it cannot be factorised (using real numbers, at least. Are you allowing complex numbers? Let me know in that case)

b: Similarly, we set up

$50g^2 - 15g - 2=0$

This time we can find the two solutions

$g_1 = -\dfrac{1}{10},\quad g_2=\dfrac{2}{5}$

which yields the factorization

$50g^2 - 15g - 2=50\left(g+\dfrac{1}{10}\right)\left(g-\dfrac{2}{5}\right)$

Members of a soccer team raised $1946.50 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus for $974.50 and budgeted $60.75 per player for

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

16 players can be brought to the tournament. The equation is written within my step-by-step explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable p = number of players

Set up an equation:

974.50 + 60.75p = 1946.50

Isolate variable p:

60.75p = 972

Divide:

p = 16

Check your work:

974.50 + 60.75(16) = 1946.50

974.50 + 972 = 1946.50

1946.50 = 1946.50

Correct!
