Answer: Could be 0,1,2,3,4,5
Step-by-step explanation: 9-n has to be greater or equal to four. 9 minus 4 is five. So all of the answers must be positive numbers that are less than five.
It looks like you already have a common denominator (y^2-9). So, you can just add the two numerators and put that over the common denominator. Hope this helps!
Answer:
sold 120 chocolate bars
sold 140 peanut butter bars
Step-by-step explanation:
x = peanut butter bars
y = chocolate bars
x + y = 260, total lbs
0.25x + 0.30y = 71, money
solve double variable equation
multiply -4 on both sides for 2nd equation
-x + -1.2y = -284
add both equations together
-0.2y = -24
y = 120
x = 260 - 120
x = 140
sold 120 chocolate bars
sold 140 peanut butter bars
3x² - 21
Factor 3 from both terms:
3 (x² - 7)
To me, that's as far as you should need to go. But if you want to get
completely carried away, you could go one step further, since you have
the difference of two squares:
3 (x + √7) (x - √7)
Of course, there's no end now, because the last binomial could be
considered another difference of two squares, so you'd have to
factor that too:
3 (x + √7) (√x + ⁴√7) (√x - ⁴√7)
but to me, this would be nonsense.
