I promise you this is right but it's quite long to explain.
(x - 5) is a factor of the polynomial function f(x) = x³ - x² - 17x -15 as there is no remaider.
<h3>What is a factor of a polynomial?</h3>
We know that if x = a is one of the roots of a given polynomial x - a = 0 is a factor of the given polynomial.
To confirm if x - a = 0 is a factor of a polynomial we replace f(x) with f(a) and if the remainder is zero then it is confirmed that x - a = 0 is a factor.
Given a polynomial function f(x) = x³ - x² - 17x -15.
If (x - 5) is it's factor then f(5) = 0.
∴ f(x) = x³ - x² - 17x -15.
f(5) = 5³ - 5² - 17(5) - 15.
f(5) = 125 - 25 - 85 - 15.
f(5) = 0.
So, the remainder is zero hence (x - 5) is a factor of the polynomial function f(x) = x³ - x² - 17x -15.

Given:
40 pages in 1.6 minutes
40 / 1.6 = 25 pages per minute
25 x 5 minutes = 125 pages
40 / 1.6 = x / 5
40*5 = 1.6x
200 = 1.6x
200/1.6 = x
125 = x pages
25 : 1 = 150 : x
25x = 150
x = 150/25
x = 6 minutes
Let cost of 1 box of red pen = x
Let cost of 1 box of black pen = y
Gaga bought 5 red box and her sister 4 black box then total cost is given by
5x+4y
Given that total cost was $44
so equation will be 5x+4y=44...(i)
After exchange
Gaga= 4 red box + 1 Black box
Sister = 1 red box + 3 Black box
then cost for Gaga = 4x+1y
cost for sister = 1x+3y
Given that cost for both after exchange is same so we get
4x+1y = 1x+3y
or 4x-1x = 3y-1y
or 3x = 2y
or 3x/2=y ...(ii)
plug (ii) into (i)
5x+4y=44
5x+4(3x/2)=44
5x+12x/2=44
5x+6x=44
11x=44
x=4
Now plug value of x into (ii)
y=3x/2=3*4/2=12/2=6
Hence cost of 1 box of red pen = $4
And cost of 1 box of black pen = $6

If you want to get solution without solving both equations then just graph both equations and find the intersection point.
You will see that graph intersect at (4,6) which gives x=4, y=6
70 kilometers because you have to multiply 3.5 by 20.
