If one ream of bond paper costs (3x -4) pesos. How many reams can you buy for ( 6x4 -17x3 +24x2- 34x + 24) pesos?

1 ream = (3x - 4) pesos

Price of n reams = (6x^4-17x^3+24x^2 34x+24) pesos

Solution:(pic1)

number of reams 3x-4

By using synthetic division,

3x-4=0

3x=4

x=4/3

6 -17 24 -34 24 | 4/3

8-12 16-24

6 -9 12-18 0

Final equation is:(pic2)

step-by-step explanation:

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
