This is about conversion of currencies.

<u><em>He spent £25 on the first day.</em></u>

  • We are told he had spent £28 over 7 days.

Each day, he spends 50 pence more than the previous day. This means that;

  • From conversion,

1 pound = 100 pence

Thus, 50 pence = (50 × 1)/100 = £0.5

  • If the money he spent on the first day is £x.
  • On second day, he would have spent a total of; £(x + 0.5)
  • On third day; x + 0.5 + 0.5= x + 1
  • On fourth day; x + 1 + 0.5 = x + 1.5
  • On fifth day; x + 1.5 + 0.5 = x + 2
  • On sixth day; x + 2 + 0.5 = x + 2.5
  • On seventh day; x + 2.5 + 0.5 = x + 3

  • Thus; x + 3 = 28

x = 28 - 3

x = £25

2x^2-13x-24 factor the polynomial<br><br> Explain please
vovangra [49]

Answer:

(x - 8)(2x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor a polynomial of the form

ax² + bx + c,

follow these steps:

1) Multiply ac together.

2) Find 2 factors of ac that add to b. Call these factors p and q.

3) Break up the middle term of the polynomial into px + qx.

4) Factor by grouping.

Now let's follow the steps above with your problem.

You are given the polynomial

2x² - 13x - 24,

so a = 2, b = -13, and c = -24

1) Find ac.ac is the product 2(-24) = -48

2) Now we need to find 2 factors of -48 that add to b, -13.

I know that 48 = 3 × 16, so if we use -16 and 3 for the two numbers, we have

-16 + 3 = -13

and -16 × 3 = -48.

3) Now we break up the middle term of the polynomial, -13x, into -16x + 3x.

The polynomial is now

2x² - 16x + 3x - 24

4) We factor the polynomial by grouping. To factor by grouping, you factor a common factor out of the first 2 terms and factor out a common factor out of the last two terms.

2x² - 16x + 3x - 24 =

= 2x(x - 8) + 3(x - 8)

We now see the common factor of x - 8, so we factor that out.

= (x - 8)(2x + 3)

Answer: (x - 8)(2x + 3)

Answer:

1 is 90

2 is 52

Step-by-step explanation:

1 is a right angle so its 90

for 2 angles in a triangle equal to 180

so 180-90-38 is equal to 52

Select all ratios that are in their simplest form. a29:26 b4:28 c25:10 d28:5 e12:19
xxTIMURxx [149]

The correct answer is Option A , D , E.

<h3>What is meant by ratio?</h3>

A ratio in mathematics is a comparison of two or more numbers that shows how big one is in comparison to the other.

<h3>What is meant by ratio in simplest form?</h3>

Ratio in it's simplest form means when the ratio can't be simplified anymore  by cancelling out the common factors.

The ratio in Option(A) can't be simplified anymore because 29 is a prime number.

The ratio in Option(B) can be simplified to 1 / 7.

The ratio in Option(C) can be simplified to 5 / 2.

The ratio in Option(D) can't be simplified.

The ratio in Option(E) can't be simplified because 19 is prime number.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A , D , E.
