Sub in given values to get 2 equations.
Solve system using elimination. Add the equations together, cancelling out 'b'
Sub into first equation to get value for 'b'
The answer is 6, reaosn is because 6/8 is not simplified, so if we divide both sides by 2 (the numerator and the denominator), we can get a simplified fraction, which is 3/4. Steps: 6/8, 6 divided by 2/8 divided by 2, 3/4.
Hope this helped!

Answer:
Option B, Yes, the remainder is 0, so x-5 is a factor of P(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Factor</u>
p(x) = x^3 - 5x^2 - x + 5
<em>p(x) = (x - 5)(x + 1)(x - 1)</em>
<em />
<em>Yes, the remainder is 0 so, x-5 is a factor of p(x)</em>

Answer: Option B, Yes, the remainder is 0, so x-5 is a factor of P(x)
