We need to multiply the factors (x - 2) and (x^2 + 9x + 10) to see if the product is the original expression given.
(x - 2)(x^2 + 9x + 10)
x^3 + 9x^2 + 10x - 2x^2 - 18x - 20
x^3 + 7x^2 - 8x - 20.
Since the product just found is not the original expression given, Jimmy is wrong.
I will complete the work on paper by synthetic division and post my answer.
After using synthetic division, the correct quotient is x^2 + 9x + 20.
Set x equal to the amount of money Kim gets, and y for Molly's money.
x = 2/5y, since the ratio is 2:5.
y = 105 + x, since Molly has 105 more pounds than Kim.
Substitute x into this equation, so that y = 105 + 2/5y. Subtract 2/5y from both sides to get 3/5y = 105. Divide each side by 0.6 (equivalent to 3/5) and you get y = 175, which is how much Molly has. Kim gets 2/5 of Molly's share (or 105 fewer pounds), so she has 70.
70 + 175 (Kim and Molly's shares) is equal to 245. Therefore, Laura receives the remaining 140 pounds.
140/385 = a/100
Cross multiply so that 385a is 14000. Divide by 385 to get 36.4 (rounded).
Thus, Laura receives about 36.4% of the total money. Hope this helps (:
25 because Becky read 45 and Jason read 20
45-20 = 25
Answer:
C. 10
Step-by-step explanation:
by deduction, 5 and 7 are prime numbers and 15 is not a multiple of 70, therefore the answer must be 10 as it is a non-prime number and is a factor of 70 (I.e. 10 and 7)
Z for the 5th percentile is about -1.6449
