<span>He started with 184 digital cameras and 56 manual cameras

Work--> </span>d + m = 240   equation 1 (d-82) = 3(m-26)  equation 2d - 82 = 3m - 78d - 3m = 82 - 78d - 3m = 16         equation 2 simplified  d + m = 240d - 3m = 16         subtract equation 1 from equation 2---------------   -4m = -224      m = -224/-4      m = 56 d + m = 240d = 240-md = 240-56d = 184

$2.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling them at 5 cents each ($0.05), he could sell 1 dozen buttons for

12 * $0.05 = $0.60

As he bought them at $0.38 per dozen, the profit per dozen would be

$0.60 - $0.38 = $0.22

As 12 dozen is 1 gross, the profit per gross would be

12 * $0.22 = $2.64

Use the binomial theorem to show that 7^n + 2 is divisible by 3, where n is a positive integer.
masha68 [24]

By the binomial theorem,

7^n=(6+1)^n=6^n+n6^{n-1}+\dbinom n26^{n-2}+\cdots+\dbinom n{n-2}6^2+n6^1+1

Each term containing a factor 6 is divisible by 3, since 3 divides 6. The remaining 1 and 2 sum to 3, which is also divisible by 3.

low and behold, x = -17, y is 0, and x= 15, y is 0
the graph is touching the x-axis, an x-intercept
