David inherited some money from his uncle. He invested half of the money with Bernie

1 answer:

3 0

Given:
Let x be the whole amount inherited.
1/2 * x - invested with Bernie Madoff
1/3 * x - lost due to identity theft
1/8 * x - lost in casino
40,000 - remainder

x - x/2 - x/3 - x/8 = 40,000

LCM:
2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24
3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
8: 8, 16, 24,

x * 24/24 = 24x / 24
x/2 * 12/12 = 12x / 24
x/3 * 8/8 = 8x / 24
x/8 * 3/3 = 3x / 24
40,000 * 24/24 = 960,000 / 24

24x/24 - 12x/24 - 8x/24 - 3x/24 = 960,000/24
(24x - 12x - 8x - 3x)/24 = 960,000/24
x/24 = 960,000/24
24 * x/24 = 24 * 960,000/24
x = 960,000

x = 960,000 initial inheritance
x/2 = 960,000/2 = 480,000 invested with Bernie Madoff
x/3 = 960,000/3 = 320,000 lost due to identity theft
x/8 = 960,000/8 = 120,000 lost in the casino
40,000 - remaining amount.

960k - 480k - 320k - 120k = 40k
40k = 40k

Answer:

9a+6b

Step-by-step explanation:

4a+7b+5a-b

First figure out the a's 4a + 5a = 9a

Then do b's (Remember, if there is no number by the letter then it is 1)

7b - 1b = 6b

So for this to be simplified the answer is 9a+6b

Can u help me ASAP. i need to know how to do it step by step

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) =4x^3-8x^2+ax+b$ has a factor $2x-1$ and

when divided by $x+2$ , remainder is 20.

To find:Remainder when divided by (x-1) ?

Solution:

$2x-1$ is a factor

$2x - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{2}$ when we put this value of x to the function, it will become 0.

i.e.

$\Rightarrow f(\dfrac{1}{2}) =0 =4\times (\dfrac{1}2)^3-8(\dfrac{1}2)^2+\dfrac{a}{2}+b=0\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}-2+\dfrac{a}{2}+b=0\\\Rightarrow 1-4+a+2b=0\\\Rightarrow a +2b=3 ......(1)$
