Answer:

k = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The remainder theorem tells you that the remainder from division of f(x) by (x-1) is f(1). Evaluating the expression for x=1 gives ...

2(1³) -3(1²) +k(1) -1 = 2 -3 +k -1 = k -2

We want this to be equal to 2, so ...

k -2 = 2

k = 4

Solve the equation.5/6=1/3+d

TiliK225 [7]

Solving a linear equation

We have the following equation

$\begin{gathered} \frac{5}{6}=\frac{1}{3}+d \\ \end{gathered}$

We substract 1/3 each side:

$\begin{gathered} -\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}=-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}+d \\ -\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}=0+d \\ -\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}=d \\ \end{gathered}$

We multiply each side of the fraction 1/3 by 2:

$-\frac{1}{3}=-\frac{1\cdot2}{3\cdot2}=-\frac{2}{6}$

Then

$\begin{gathered} -\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}=d \\ -\frac{2}{6}+\frac{5}{6}=d \\ \frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}=d \end{gathered}$ <h2>Answer: d = 1/2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

remember, dividing one fraction by a second is the same as multiplying the first one with the inverse fraction of the second.

5/6 ÷ 5/24 = 5/6 × 24/5 = 24×5 / 6×5 = 24/6 = 4
