Suppose you always eat a particular brand of cookies out of the standard sized package it comes in from the store. You notice th

at when you eat 3 at a time, there's always 1 cookie left over. You decide when you purchase the next package, you'll eat 5 at a time, but still, there's always 1 cookie left over. Since it really isn't helpful to always have a leftover cookie, you decide to eat 7 at a time, and there are no cookies leftover. If you know there are less than 100 cookies in the package, how many cookies are there?

Answer:

There are 91 cookies in the package of cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameter for the number of cookies are;

The number of cookies left when eating 3 at a time = 1 cookie

The number of cookies left when eating 5 at a time = 1 cookie

The number of cookies left when eating 7 cookies at a time = No cookie leftover

Let 'n' represent the number of cookies in the pack, let 'a', 'b', and 'c' be the multiples of 3s, 5s, and 7s in 'n', respectively, we have;

The number of cookies in the pack, n < 100

Therefore, we have;

3·a = n - 1

5·b = n - 1

7·c = n

∴ n - 1 is a multiples of 3 and 5 less than 100 which are;

15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90

Therefore, the possible values of 'n' are'

n = n - 1 + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16, 30 + 1 = 31, 45 + 1 = 46, 60 + 1 = 61, 75 + 1 = 75, 90 + 1 = 91

Multiples of 7 includes;

7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91, and 98

Therefore, n = 91 which is the number that appear simultaneously in both search

The number of cookies in a package = 91 cookies

I am having some problem can anyone please help me out to do this math.<br><br>(x + 3)(x + 4)​
Lorico [155]

Answer:

x^2 + 7x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a product of two binomials.  There's a formula:  

(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd.

Therefore, (x + 3)(x + 4)​ = x^2 + 3x + 4x + 12  =  x^2 + 7x + 12

Solve for x &amp; y. 30x−42y=−6 and 5x−7y=−1
vladimir1956 [14]
Um.. Both of those equations are the exact same. Divide both sides of the first equation by 6. You get:

\frac{30x  - 42y}{6} = \frac{-6}{6} \\ 5x - 7y = -1

That is the exact same as the second equation. This system has an infinite number of solutions. 5x - 7y = -1 is a line, so basically every point on that line is a solution to the system.

For example, x = 0 and y = \frac{1}{7} would work, but so would x = 1 and y = \frac{6}{7}
