Answer:
Since Darcie wants to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets and she crochets at a rate of 1/5 blanket per day, we can determine how many days she will need to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets following the next steps:
- Finding the number of days needed to crochet one (1) blanket:
\begin{gathered}1=\frac{1}{5}Crochet(Day)\\Crochet(Day)=5*1=5\end{gathered}
1=
5
1
Crochet(Day)
Crochet(Day)=5∗1=5
So, she can crochet 1 blanket every 5 days.
- Finding the number of days needed to crochet three (3) blankets:
If she needs 5 days to crochet 1 blanket, to crochet 3 blankets she will need 15 days because:
\begin{gathered}DaysNeeded=\frac{NumberOfBlankets}{Rate}\\\\DaysNeeded=\frac{3}{\frac{1}{5}}=3*5=15\end{gathered}
DaysNeeded=
Rate
NumberOfBlankets
DaysNeeded=
5
1
3
=3∗5=15
- Writing the inequality
If she has 60 days to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets but she can complete it in 15 days, she can skip crocheting 45 days because:
AvailableDays=60-RequiredDaysAvailableDays=60−RequiredDays
AvailableDays=60-15=45DaysAvailableDays=60−15=45Days
So, the inequality will be:
s\leq 45s≤45
The inequality means that she can skip crocheting a maximum of 45 days since she needs 15 days to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets.
Have a nice day!
Answer:
-4x + 12 = 20 is incorrect. she added 12 to 20 instead of subtracting 12 from both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
It should have been, write problem
-4(x - 3) = 20
Use distributive property.
-4x + 12 = 20
subtract 12 from each side
-4x =8
divide each side by -4
x = -2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Instead, since the divisor is in the form of
, use what is called Synthetic Division. Remember, in this formula,
gives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so do not forget it. Anyway, here is how it is done:
4| 1 −5 7 −12
↓ 4 −4 12
_______________
1 −1 3 0 → 
You start by placing the
in the top left corner, then list all the coefficients of your dividend [x³ - 5x² + 7x - 12]. You bring down the original term closest to
then begin your multiplication. Now depending on what symbol your result is tells you whether the next step is to subtract or add, then you continue this process starting with multiplication all the way up until you reach the end. Now, when the last term is 0, that means you have no remainder. Finally, your quotient is one degree less than your dividend, so that 1 in your quotient can be an
, the −1 [
] follows right behind it, and bringing up the rear, comes the 3, giving you the quotient of
.

Quadratic equations CAN be used to solve word problems so the answer to your question is false
The coefficient is 2, the first number being multiplied by a variable will always be the coefficient.
