To find the rate per person, we divide the additional $105 by the three people who backed out. The quotient would be 35. Hence, each person should pay $35. To determine how many people went to the expedition, divide the $1400 + $105 by 35, the answer is 43. Since 3 backed out, then the total number who actually went was 40.

Answer:

5 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

  • x = number of people
  • y = cost per person

The total cost was $1400, which was to be divided equally among the members going. Then,

y = 1400 / x [1]

Prior to the trip, 3 members decided not to go. The cost per person increased by $105.

y + 105 = 1400 / (x - 3)

(y + 105) . (x - 3) = 1400 [2]

We replace [1] in [2],

(1400/x + 105) . (x - 3) = 1400

1400 - 4200/x + 105x -315 = 1400

- 4200/x + 105x = 315

(- 4200 + 105x²)/x = 315

- 4200 + 105x² = 315 x

105x² - 315x - 4200 = 0

When we solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, we get x₁ = 8 and x₂ = -5. Only the positive x has sense.

The people that went to the expedition was x - 3 = 8 - 3 = 5.

The measure of an interior angle of a regular octagon is how many degrees greater than the measure of an interior angle of a reg
harina [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of interior angle of any polygon = 180* (n- 2 )

Here, n= number of sides

Sum of interior angles of regular octagon = 180 * ( 8-2) = 180 * 6 = 1080°

In regular octagon, all the angles are congruent,

So, measure of an interior angle of regular octagon = 1080/8 =  135°

Sum of interior angles of regular hexagon = 180 * ( 6-2) = 180*4 = 720°

In regular hexagon, all the angles are congruent,

So, measure of an interior angle of regular hexagon = 720/6 =  120°

The measure of an interior angle of a regular octagon is  greater than the measure of an interior angle of a regular hexagon by 15°

the ratio of boys to girls at the beach cleanup was 7:8. If there were 43 boys, how many girls were there?
faltersainse [42]
I'm pretty sure there were 48 girls at the beach clean up. 43 ÷ 7 = 6.14 (6 cause there's not gonna be floating males with missing body parts). So we multiply 6 x 8 and we get 48.

Use the Rational Zeros Theorem to write a list of all potential rational zeros f(x) = 14x^3 + 56x^2 + 2x - 7
Crank
The factors of 7are -1 and 7 or 1 and -7, the factors of 14 are 1, 2, 7, and 14, or -1,  -2, -7,-14. so the list of potential zeros are: 1/1, 1/2, 1/7, 1/14, 7/1,7/2, 7/7, 7/14, which can be simplified into 1, 1/2,1/7, 1/14, 7, 7/2
add the negative ones: -1, -1/2,-1/7, -1/14, -7, -7/2
I believe there are a total of 12 potential zeros
