Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, turn the word problem into an equation:

n(a number) was divided by 2

\frac{n}{2}

followed by this quotient beying multiplied by 4

\frac{n}{2}*4

the product was added to 9

\frac{n}{2}*4+9

the total sum was 25

\frac{n}{2}*4+9 = 25

use PEMDAS to solve the equation

subtract 9 on both sides

\frac{n}{2}*4 = 16

cancel the 2 and the 4 using factorization

n*2 = 16

divide 2 on both sides

n = 8

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The function will be zero when the numerator is equal to 0. So, set the numerator equal to 0 and solve:

0 = 4 {x}^{2}  - 36x

I will use the quadratic formula:

\frac{ 36  +  \sqrt{ {36}^{2}  - 4(4)(0)} }{2(4)}  \\  \frac{  36 + 36}{8}  = 9

Therefore, x = 9 is a 0. Let's check with subtracted root now:

\frac{ 36   -    \sqrt{ {36}^{2}  - 4(4)(0)} }{2(4)}  \\  \frac{ 36  -  36}{8}  =  0

It appears 0 is also a root.

Therefore, the answer is D.

Answer:

260 stickers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Gareth's stickers be x.

Hence Cheryl sticker is 160+x;

If Cheryl gave 185 stickers

to Gareth, it means:

Cheryl has at the moment;

160 + x - 185 = x - 25

At this time when Gareth receives 185 he now has:

x+ 185

Also when he receives x +185, he has 3 times Cherry's meaning:

x+185 =3(x-25)

x + 185 = 3x -75

185 + 75 = 3x-2x

260= x

x = 260.

Hence Gareth has 260 stickers
