Answer: Mo gets 27 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

- There are 72 pencils in total

- Let 3x be the number of pencils Mo gets

- Let 5x be the number of pencils Kim gets

<u>Solve</u>

Given

3x + 5x = 72

Combine like terms

8x = 72

Divide 8 on both sides

8x / 8 = 72 / 8

x = 9

Mo = 3x = 3 ( 9 ) = 27 pencils

Hope this helps!! :)

Find a quadratic polynomial whose sum and and product is -7 and -2
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

<h2>x²+7x-2 = 0</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a quadratic equation with roots a and b is expressed as shown;

x²-(sum of root) x + (product of roots) = 0

x² - (a+b)x + ab = 0 ... 1

Given the sum of roots a+b = -7

Product of roots ab = -2

Substituting this values in equation 1 above wil give;

x²-(-7)x+(-2) = 0

x²+7x-2 = 0

The resulting quadratic polynomial is x²+7x-2 = 0

Find three consecutive even integers. Such that 7 times of first integer is 4 more than the sum of second and third integers
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

1st even integer = 2

2nd even integer = 4

3rd even integer  = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive even integers be:

1st = 2(x)

2nd= 2(x +1) = 2x + 2

3rd = 2(x + 2) = 2x + 4

According to Given conditions:

7(2x) = 4 +  2x +2 + 2x + 4

By Simplifying:

14x = 10 + 4x

Subtracting 4x from both sides

14x - 4x = 10 + 4x -4x

10x = 10

Dividing both sides by 10 we get:

x = 1

Now putting value of x in supposed integers:

1st even integer = 2(1) = 2

2nd even integer = 2(1)+2 = 4

3rd even integer = 2(1) + 4 = 6

I hope it will help you!
