Note: As you may have unintentionally missed to add the different answers, based on which we had to check who solved correctly between Tamara and Clyda's work.

But, I am actually solving the expression and you must note that whoever (between Tamara and Clyda's work) may have got the same answer or match the answer with mine, would be the one who solved correctly.

Answer:

We conclude that whoever (between Tamara and Clyda's work) may have got the answer as $x^2+5x-2$ after dividing $2x^4\:+\:7x^3\:-\:18x^2\:+\:11x\:-\:2$ by $2x^2\:-\:3x\:+\:1$ , would be the one who solved it correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$2x^4\:+\:7x^3\:-\:18x^2\:+\:11x\:-\:2$

Lets divide the expression by $2x^2\:-\:3x\:+\:1$

Solution Steps:

$\frac{2x^4+7x^3-18x^2+11x-2}{2x^2-3x+1}$

Factorizing

$2x^4+7x^3-18x^2+11x-2:\quad \left(x-1\right)\left(2x-1\right)\left(x^2+5x-2\right)$

$\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(2x-1\right)\left(x^2+5x-2\right)}{2x^2-3x+1}$

Factorizing

$2x^2-3x+1:\quad \left(2x-1\right)\left(x-1\right)$

$\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(2x-1\right)\left(x^2+5x-2\right)}{\left(2x-1\right)\left(x-1\right)}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:}\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(2x-1\right)\left(x^2+5x-2\right)}{\left(2x-1\right)\left(x-1\right)}:\quad x^2+5x-2$

$x^2+5x-2$

Thus,

$\frac{2x^4+7x^3-18x^2+11x-2}{2x^2-3x+1}=x^2+5x-2$

Therefore, we conclude that whoever (between Tamara and Clyda's work) may have got the answer as $x^2+5x-2$ after dividing $2x^4\:+\:7x^3\:-\:18x^2\:+\:11x\:-\:2$ by $2x^2\:-\:3x\:+\:1$ , would be the one who solved it correctly.

1. The two boats picked for the trip are the steamboat and the tall ship. Let us assume that we will take the steamboat going to the island, and then we will take the tall ship for the return trip. We will then relate the distances travelled by both ships to each other.

2. We know that the steamboat takes five hours to complete the trip. The tall ship takes more time, at ten hours to complete the trip. We do not have the exact speeds of the steamboat or of the tall ship, but we do know that the tall ship is 10 knots slower than the steamboat. We likewise do not know the exact distance travelled by either ship, but we do know that both travel the same distance. We want to find out how fast each boat travels. We expect the answers to be in knots, with a difference of 10.

3. We know that distance is equivalent to the product of speed of a boat multiplied by the time of travel. For the trip going to the island, we will use the steamboat. Let its speed be x knots (equivalent to x nautical miles per hour), and let the distance going to the island be d nautical miles. Given that the time takes is 5 hours, this means that d = 5x.

4. If we let x be the speed of the boat you are taking to the island (the steamboat), then we know that the speed of the other boat (the tall ship) is 10 knots less than the steamboat's. So the speed of the tall ship (for the return trip) is (x - 10) knots.

5. Similar to part 3: we will multiply speed by time to determine the distance from the island. From part 4, we have determined that the speed of the tall ship to be used in returning is (x - 10) knots. Meanwhile, the given in the problem says that the tall ship will take 10 hours to make the trip. Therefore the distance will be equal to d = 10(x - 10) = 10x - 100 nautical miles.

6. We can assume that the distance travelled going to the island is the same distance travelled coming back. Therefore, we can equate the formula for distance from part 3 for the steamboat, to the distance from part 5 for the tall ship.
5x = 10x - 100

7. Solving for x: 5x = 10x - 100
-5x = -100
x = 20
Since x is the speed of the steamboat, x = 20 means that the steamboat's speed is 20 knots.

8. We determined in part 4 that the speed of the second boat (in our case, the tall ship) is (x - 10) knots. Since we have calculated in part 7 that the steamboat travels at x = 20 knots, then the speed of the tall ship is (x - 10) = 20 - 10 = 10 knots.

HELP MEEEEEEEEEE Package A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes and costs $9.60. Package B contains 8 birthday cards

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Each birthday card costs $2.2 ⇒ answer c

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Package A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes

- It costs $9.60

- Package B contains 8 birthday cards and 6 thank-you notes

- It costs $26.60

- x represents the cost of birthday card and y represents the cost of

thank-you note

* Lets change these information to two equations

∵ x represents the cost of each birthday cards

∵ y represents the cost of each thank-you notes

∵ Bag A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes

∵ Bag A costs $9.60

∴ 3x + 2y = 9.60 ⇒ (1)

∵ Bag B contains 8 birthday cards and 6 thank-you notes

∵ Bag B costs $26.60

∴ 8x + 6y = 26.60 ⇒ (2)

* Lets solve this system of equations to find x and y

- Multiply equation (1) by -3 to eliminate y

∵ -3(3x) + -3(2y) = -3(9.60)

∴ -9x - 6y = -28.8 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ -x = -2.2

- Multiply both sides by -1

∴ x = 2.2

∵ x represents the cost of each birthday cards

∴ The cost of each birthday card is $2.2

* Each birthday card costs $2.2

If n - 2y = 3y- n/m,find the value of n when y = 5 and m = -3

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

37 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

n - 2y = 3y- n/m,

find the value of n when y = 5 and m = -3

--------

n-2*5=3*5-n/-3

n-10=15+n/3

n-n/3=15+10

2n/3=25

2n=3*25

n=75/2

n=37 1/2 or 37.5

Lina has 12 coins in her purse. D of them are dimes and the rest are quarters.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

she has 12 - D quarters.

She has 24 (12-D) cents in quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the number of coins, and you know the number of dimes - even if the amount is a variable - you can find the amount of quarters with an equation.

If you knew that Lina had 6 dimes instead of D, you would say 12 - 6 and get the number of quarters. You can do the same thing here.

and If you know Lina has 6 quarters, you could find the amount of money in cents by multiplying 6 by 25. You can do that here too, but with variables and an equation.
