Answer:

Let x represents the Sara eat pancake and y represents the Phil eat the pancake.

As per the statement:

Phil ate three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara.

"Twice as many pancake as Sara" means 2x

"three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara" means 2x -3

⇒y = 2x-3         .....[1]

It is also given that together they combined to eat 15 pancakes.

⇒x+y =15      .....[2]

Substitute equation [1] into [2] we get;

x+2x-3 = 15

Combine like terms;

3x-3 =15

Add 3 to both sides we get;

3x = 18

Divide both sides by 3 we get;

x = 6

Substitute the value of x in [1] we get;

y = 2(6)-3 = 12-3 =9

y = 9

Therefore, the pancakes did each eat are;

Sara eat pancake = 6 and Phil eat pancake = 9

Given the first three terms of a linear sequence: 3x – 2;x+9; 2x + 5 Determine the value of x.​
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between consecutive terms will be equal , then

a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is

x + 9 - (3x - 2) = 2x + 5 - (x + 9) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

x + 9 - 3x + 2 = 2x + 5 - x - 9 , simplify both sides

- 2x + 11 = x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )

- 3x + 11 = - 4 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

- 3x = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 5

(2x^2+x+3)/(x-2)with remainder
Leni [432]

Answer:

2x+5 r. 13

Step-by-step explanation:

So using long division, you can solve for the quotient and the remainder.

Please look at the attached for the solution.

Step 1: need to make sure that you right the terms in descending order. (If there are missing terms in between, you need to fill them out with a zero so you won't have a problem with spacing)

Step 2: Divide the highest term in the dividend, by the highest term in the divisor.

Step 3: Multiply your result with the divisor and and write it below the dividend, aligning it with its matched term.

Step 4: Subtract and bring down the next term.

Repeat the steps until you cannot divide any further. If you have left-overs that is your remained.
