Answer:

Kelly owes $16.5

Greg owes $33

Joe owes $64.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Kelly's portion = x

Greg's portion = 2x

Joe's portion = 4x - 1.50

Total bill = $114.00

Total bill = Kelly's portion + Greg's portion + Joe's portion

114 = x + 2x + (4x - 1.50)

114 = 3x + 4x - 1.50

114 = 7x - 1.50

Add 1.50 to both sides

114 + 1.50 = 7x - 1.50 + 1.50

115.5 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7

x = 115.5 / 7

= 16.5

x = $16.5

Kelly's portion = x

x = $16.5

Greg's portion = 2x

= 2 × 16.5

= $33

Joe's portion = 4x - 1.50

= 4(16.5) - 1.50

= 66 - 1.50

= $64.5

Therefore,

Kelly owes $16.5

Greg owes $33

Joe owes $64.5

URGENT!! The difference between the roots of the quadratic equation x2−12x+q=0 is 2. Find q
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

q=35

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - 12x + q = 0

Let the two roots be r and r+2.

Factor the quadratic expression:

(x - r)[x - (r + 2)] = 0

Expand, simplify, group like terms, and get

x2 - 2(r + 1)x + r(r + 2) = 0

Compare to

x2 - 12x + q = 0

and set equal the coefficients of like terms:

Coefficient of x:

-2(r + 1) = -12 ⇒ r + 1 = 6 ⇒ r = 5

(Then the other root is r + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7)

Constant term:

r(r + 2) = q ⇒ 5(5 + 2) = q

q = 35

Test the solution:

(x - 5)(x - 7) = x2 - 12x + 35

With two roots differing by 2, you get an equation of the form

x2 - 12x + q = 0

with q = 35.

(y+1)^5 divided by (y+1)^2<br><br>will mark brainliest
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

(y+1)^3

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing powers, subtract them. Therefore, 5-2 = 3. So, (Y+1)^5/(Y+1)^2 = (Y+1)^3
