Option B

48 = 2s - 3 shows an equality between number of political articles that Reggie wrote this year

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that, Reggie wrote a total of 48 political articles for the town newspaper this year

Number of political articles = 48

Let s represent the number of sports articles he wrote

The number of political articles he wrote is 3 less than twice the number of sports articles he wrote

Number of political articles = twice the number of sports articles - 3

Number of political articles = (2 x number of sports articles) - 3

Number of political articles = 2s - 3

We know that, number of political articles = 48

48 = 2s - 3

Thus above equation shows an equality between number of political articles that Reggie wrote this year

Pete traveled 1,380 miles in two days.The first day , he traveled 1.5 times as far as he did the second day . How many miles did
ahrayia [7]
Let s be the distance traveled the second day.

1.5s+s=1380

2.5s=1380

s=552

So on the first day he traveled 1380-552=828 miles.

Julia went into a movie theater and bought 2 bags of popcorn and 5 pretzels, costing
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

A bag of pop corn costs $8, and each Pretzel costs $4.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the price of popcorn, and p the price of Pretzels. If the girl bought 2 bags of popcorn and 5 Pretzels and it cost her $37.25, we have the equation

2b+5p=37.25  <em>(this says that the cost of 2 popcorn bags plus 5 pretzels equals $37.25)</em> .

And, since Zoe bought 8 popcorn bags and 9 Pretzels with a total price of $102.25, we get the equation

8b+9p=102.25<em> (this says that the cost of 8 popcorn bags plus 9 Pretzels equals $102.25).</em>

Thus, we have two equations

1. 2b+5p=37.25

2. 8b+9p=102.25

and we solve them by first multiplying equation (1) by 4:

4(2b+5p=37.25 )\rightarrow (8b+20p=149),

and then subtracting it from equation (2):

\:\:\:\:\: 8b+9p=102.25\\-(8b+20p=149)\\\line(1,0){3 cm}\\-11p=-46.75\\\\\boxed{p=\$4.25}

Now we put this value of p into equation (1) and get:

2b+5(4.25)=37.25

and we solve for b to get:

2b=37.25-21.5

\boxed{ b=8}

Therefore, a bag of popcorn costs $8, and each Pretzel costs $4.25.

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which function has the same set of potential rational roots as the function g(x) = 3x5 –
elena55 [62]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Given is an algebraic polynomial of degree 5.

g(x) = 3x^5-2x^4+9x^3-x^2+12\\

Here leading term is p=3 and constant term is q =12

Factors of p are ±1,±2,±3

Factors of q are \frac{±1,±2,±3,±4,±6,±12} \\

Possible forms of p/q will be the same for any other polynomial of degree 5 with leading term =3 and constant term = 12

Hence any other polynomial

g(x) = 3x^5+ax^4+bx^3+cx^2+12

will have same possible zeroes of p/q, when a,b,c are rational.

Hence any polynomial of this type would have the same possible rational roots.

G = x-c/x solve for x
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

x=\frac{c}{1-g}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Multiply both sides by x,

 gx=−c+x

Step 2: Add -x to both sides.

gx+−x=−c+x+−x

gx−x=−c

Step 3: Factor out variable x.

x(g−1)=−c

Step 4: Divide both sides by g-1.

\frac{x(g-1)}{g-1} =\frac{-c}{g-1\\}

x=\frac{c}{1-g}

Hope this helps!
