The mistake is in step 3:

I: −2m =−12 − 2n
II: 2m = 8 + 8n

the student set both right sides of the equations equal (−12 − 2n = 8 + 8n), but the left sides aren't equal: first equation has -2m, second has +2m so the signs of one of the equations must be inverted first

What are the zeros of f(x) = x3 + 6x2 + 3x – 10 ?

schepotkina [342]

One of the zeroes would be : x = 1

f (1) = 1^3 + 6(1) ^2 + 3 (1) - 10

f(1) = 1 + 6 + 3 - 10

f (1) = 10 - 10

f (1) = 0

Hope this helps

maksim [4K]

We are given that 8 oz of milk requires 15 oz of flour.

To know the amount of flour needed for 15 oz of milk, we will simply use cross multiplication as follows:
amount of flour needed = (15*15) / (8) = 28.125 oz

There are 24 pens in a desk drawer. The pens are either red or blue. The ratio of red pens to blue pens is 5:1. How many pens ar

Flura [38]

Answer:

The number of red pens is 20.

The number of blue pens is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that, the ratio of number of red pens to the number of blue pens is 5 : 1.

∴ Let us assume that the number of red pens be 5x and number of blue pens be x.

Total number of pens in the desk drawer = 24

Now, according to question :

Number of red pens + Number of blue pens = 24

⇒5x + x = 24

⇒6x = 24

⇒ $x=\frac{24}{6}=4$

So, number of red pens in the drawer = 5x = 5 × 4 = 20

Number of blue pens in the drawer = x = 4
