Answer:
9 16-ounce packages
Step-by-step explanation:
144oz. ÷ 16 = 9 Packages
From the first equation,
x+5 = 3(y+5)
x = 3y + 15 - 5
Now substitue x in the second equation with (3y +15 - 5).
x-5 = 7(y-5)
(3y+15-5) - 5 = 7(y-5)
3y +5 = 7y - 35
-4y = - 40
y = 10
Since y is 10, and x is (3y +15 - 5),
x = 30 + 15 - 5 = 40
Answer:
Factoring the expression
completely we get 
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to factor the expression
completely
We need to find common terms in the expression.
Looking at the expression, we get
is common in both terms, so we can write:

So, taking out the common expression we get: 
Now, we can factor the term (1+x^3) or we can write (x^3+1) by using formula:

So, we get:

Therefor factoring the expression
completely we get 
The answer is b = 3. you subtract 24 from bothe sides and then divide by 2.
