Answer: n = 75; p = 30
Explanation: (a) 5p + 4n = 450 where p is for pen and n is for notebook.
(b) 10p + 3n = 525
We can use the elimination method to solve these two equations.
1. Multiply the first equation by 2 so that 10p will cancel out:
2(5p + 4n = 450)
- 10p + 3p = 525
10p + 8n = 900
- 10 p + 3n = 525
5n = 375
2. Divide by 5 to get n alone: n = 75
3. Plug 75 into the first equation: 5p + 4(75) = 450
5p + 300 = 450
4. Subtract 300 from 450: 5p = 150
5. Divide by 5 to get p alone: p = 30
We can test if this is correct by plugging our answers into the second equation:
10(30) + 3(75) = 525
300 + 225 = 525
525 = 525
This is a true statement, which means that our answers are correct.
x^5 is your answer because you add exponents when they are not in separate paretheses.
Answer:
I don't know but i think the answer is:
3/8 and 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
add both and the answer is there
Dividing <em>f(x)</em> by 2<em>x</em> + 5 leaves the same remainder as division by <em>x</em> + 5/2. By the remainder theorem, it is equal to <em>f </em>(-5/2), so the remainder here is
<em>f</em> (-5/2) = 8 (-5/2)³ + 4 (-5/2)² - 13 (-5/2) + 3 = -129/2
