You would have to do 5 times n for the number minus 6 so that it would be 5(n-6)

Solve x2 – 8x + 15 < 0. Select the critical points for the inequality shown.

quester [9]

Answer:

x=3,5

Explanation:

x2−8x+15=0

Try to express the terms of the equation in square form.

Adding 16 both sides of the equation,

(x2−2⋅x⋅4+42)+15=16

or,(x−4)2+15−16=0

or,(x−4)2−1=0

or,(x−4)2−12=0

This is the a2−b2=(a+b)(a−b)form.

(x−4+1)(x−4−1)=0

or,(x−3)(x−5)=0

Now, equate both the terms to zero since both of them when multiplied, give zero.

Either,

x−3=0

∴x=3

Or,

x−5=0

∴x=5

Ans:x=3,5 Hope this helpsXD...!!

How many trucks carried only late variety?

murzikaleks [220]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

late only: 15
extra-late only: 24
one type: 43
total trucks: 105

Step-by-step explanation:

It works well when making a Venn diagram to start in the middle (6 carried all three), then work out.

For example, if 10 carried early and extra-late, then only 10-6 = 4 of those trucks carried just early and extra-late.

Similarly, if 30 carried early and late, and 4 more carried only early and extra-late, then 38-30-4 = 4 carried only early. In the attached, the "only" numbers for a single type are circled, to differentiate them from the "total" numbers for that type.

a) 15 trucks carried only late

b) 24 trucks carried only extra late

c) 4+15+24 = 43 trucks carried only one type

d) 38+67+56 -30-28-10 +6 +6 = 105 trucks in all went out
