Second question isn't well formatted

Answer:

Number of republicans = 207

Number of democrats = 245

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Number of republicans = x

Number of democrats = x + 38

Total number of representatives from the two parties = 452

Tge number of representatives from each party can be calculated thus ;

Number of democrats + number of republicans = total number of representatives

(x + 38) + x = 452

x + 38 + x = 452

2x = 452 - 38

2x = 414

x = 414 / 2

x = 207

Number of republicans = 207

Number of democrats = 207 + 38 = 245

If (1)=0, what are all the roots of the function f(x)=x3+3x2-x-3?use the remainder theorem
Anon25 [30]
If f(1)=0, then by the remainder theorem \dfrac{f(x)}{x-1} has a remainder of 0, which means f(x) is divisible by x-1. In fact,

x^3+3x^2-x-3=x^2(x+3)-(x+3)=(x^2-1)(x+3)=(x-1)(x+1)(x+3)

So we know 1 is a root, and the other two roots are -1 and -3.

Nellie and her younger sister Debbie share expenses on a holiday. Nellie spends $122 more than Debbie. Their total expenses amou
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N = how much Nellie spends

Let D = how much Debbie spends

Part A

Nellie spends $122 more than Debbie.

N= D +122

Their total expenses amount to $840.

N+D =840

The two equations are

N= D +122

N+D =840

Part B

We can substitute the first equation which is solved for N into the second equation.  Every place we see an N in the second equation, we replace it with D+122

Part C

N= D +122

N+D =840

(D+122) +D = 840

Combine like terms

2D +122 = 840

Subtract 122 from each side

2D+122-122=840-122

2D =718

Divide by 2

2D/2= 718/2

D =359

Debbie spends 359

Jason rolls the die 14 times. What is the experimental probability that he will roll a 2
Vaselesa [24]
There’s 14 rolls. The probability he lands on a 2 would be 2/14. Once you simplify it it would give you a probability of 1/7
