Answer:
-13/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Look for the LCM of both which is 4. 4÷1 ×-4 which is -16
then 4 divided by 4 which is 1 then × 3 which is 3.
now (-16+3)/4 to have -13/4
R:{-46, 52}. You cannot repeat any numbers and the order is from least to greatest.
Answer:
B and D
Step-by-step explanation:
Write as a quadratic
-2x² - 3x + 5 = 0
Factor
-2x² - 5x + 2x + 5 = 0
-x(2x + 5) + 1(2x + 5) = 0
(1 - x)(2x + 5) = 0
To make the equation 0, x is either 1 or -5/2.
Number of books each of them have:
Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)
There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24 / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200 / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40
Doublecheck:
Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102
102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)
