Answer:

I. C = 266 textbooks.

II. S = 207 textbooks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the chemistry textbook be C.

Let the sociology textbook be S.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

C + S = 473 ..... equation 1

S = C - 59 ..... equation 2

Substituting eqn 2 into eqn 1, we have;

C + C - 59 = 473

2C - 59 = 473

2C = 473 + 59

2C = 532

C = 532/2

C = 266 textbooks.

Next, we would determine the value of S;

S = C - 59

S = 266 - 59

S = 207 textbooks.

Check:

C + S = 473

266 + 207 = 473

473 = 473

8-3x=17 what does x equal
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Subtract 8 from both sides</u>

8 - 3x - 8 = 17 - 8

<em>-3x = 9</em>

<em />

<u>Step 2:  Divide both sides by -3</u>

-3x / -3 = 9 / -3

<em>x = -3</em>

<em />

Answer: x = -3

Use the Remainder Theorem to completely factor p(x) = x ^3 + 7x ^2 + 11x + 5.
tigry1 [53]

In order to use the remainder theorem, you need to have some idea what to divide by. The rational root theorem tells you rational roots will be from the list derived from the factors of the constant term, {±1, ±5}. When we compare coefficients of odd power terms to those of even power terms, we find their sums are equal, which means -1 is a root and (x +1) is a factor.

Dividing that from the cubic, we get a quotient of x² +6x +5 (and a remainder of zero). We recognize that 6 is the sum of the factors 1 and 5 of the constant term 5, so the factorization is

... = (x +1)(x +1)(x +5)

... = (x +1)²(x +5)

_____

The product of factors (x +a)(x +b) will be x² + (a+b)x + ab. That is, the factorization can be found by looking for factors of the constant term (ab) that add to give the coefficient of the linear term (a+b). The numbers found can be put directly into the binomial factors to make (x+a)(x+b).

When we have 1·5 = 5 and 1+5 = 6, we know the factorization of x²+6x+5 is (x+1)(x+5).
