Answer:
9x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
(7x + 3) + (4x - 1) - (2x + 4)
Distribute the minus sign
(7x + 3) + (4x - 1) - 2x - 4
Combine like terms
7x+4x-2x +3 -1-4
9x -2
Answer:wow this is hard
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of deluxe that Pacific has be x
the number that Caribbean has will be (x+18)
the number that Mediterranean has will be (3x-25)
total b=number of deluxe in the 3 ships will be:
x+(x+18)+(3x-25)
5x-7=928
5x=928+7
x=935/5
x=187
Hence the Pacific has 187, Caribbean has 187+18=205, Mediterranean has (3*187-25)
=534
-15u+30
Have a great day! :)
A good place to start is to set
to y. That would mean we are looking for
to be an integer. Clearly,
, because if y were greater the part under the radical would be a negative, making the radical an imaginary number, not an integer. Also note that since
is a radical, it only outputs values from
, which means y is on the closed interval:
.
With that, we don't really have to consider y anymore, since we know the interval that
is on.
Now, we don't even have to find the x values. Note that only 11 perfect squares lie on the interval
, which means there are at most 11 numbers that x can be which make the radical an integer. All of the perfect squares are easily constructed. We can say that if k is an arbitrary integer between 0 and 11 then:

Which is strictly positive so we know for sure that all 11 numbers on the closed interval will yield a valid x that makes the radical an integer.
