<span><u><em>First way:</em></u>
The easiest and simplest way is to <u>count by 1</u> starting from 82 till you reach 512.
<u>This will go as follows:</u>
82, 83, 84, 85, ........... , 510, 511, 512
<u><em>Second way:</em></u>
We can note that the two given numbers are even numbers. This means that the two numbers are divisible by 2.
Therefore, we can <u>count by 2</u> starting from 82 till we reach 512.
<u>This will go as follows:</u>
82, 84, 86, 88, ................... , 508, 510, 512
<u><em>Third way:</em></u>
We can note that the units digit in both numbers is the same (the digit is 2). This means that we can count from 82 till 512 by <u>adding 10 each time</u>.
<u>This will go as follows:</u>
82, 92, 102, 112, ......................, 492, 502, 512
Hope this helps :)</span>
Answer: y=12 x=28
Explanation:
x=Amount of Small Lanterns y=Amount of Large Lanterns
25x+40y=1180
x+y=40
x=40-y
25(40-y)+40y=1180
1000-25y+40y=1180
1000+15y=1180
15y=180
y=12
x+12=40
x=28
Complex solutions, namely roots with a √(-1) or "i" in it, never come all by their lonesome, because an EVEN root like the square root, can have two roots that will yield the same radicand.
a good example for that will be √(4), well, (2)(2) is 4, so 2 is a root, but (-2)(-2) is also 4, therefore -2 is also a root, so you'd always get a pair of valid roots from an even root, like 2 or 4 or 6 and so on.
therefore, complex solutions or roots are never by their lonesome, their sister the conjugate is always with them, so if there's a root a + bi, her sister a - bi is also coming along too.
if complex solutions come in pairs, well, clearly a cubic equation can't yield 3 only.
