From al-Khowarizmi's Algebra: Ten dinar is divided equally among a group of men so that when 6 more men are added to their number and 40 dinar is divided equally among them, then each receives as much as he did previously. Find the original number of men.

Answer from: bkabyma91

The original number of men is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of men be x

The amount each of the men will receive from the ten dinar since they all received equal amounts will be 10/x

Now, adding 6 more men, we have a total of x + 6 men now

Now we share 40 dinar amongst the x + 6 men and each will receive 10/x as received before

Mathematically;

40/x + 6 = 10/x

x(40) = 10(x + 6)

40x = 10x + 60

40x -10x = 60

30x = 60

x = 60/30

x = 2

There were originally 2 men

Answer from: Quest

x= -3 and $x=\frac{-3+/-3i\sqrt{3} }{2}$

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

$(x^3-a^3)=$ $(x-a)(x^2+ax+a^2)$

where a is the cube root of $a^3$ .

here this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

$(x-3)(x^2+(3)x+3^2)\\(x-3)(x^2+3x+9)$ .

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

$x=\frac{-3+/-\sqrt{3^2-4(1)(9)} }{2(1)} \\x=\frac{-3+/-\sqrt{9-36)} }{2} \\x=\frac{-3+/-\sqrt{-27)} }{2}\\x=\frac{-3+/-3i\sqrt{3} }{2}$

this cubic has two complex roots.

Answer from: Quest

$y> \frac{1}{3}x$ and y≤ -x +4 .

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a graph for system of inequalities.

in order to write the system of inequalities for the given graph, we need to find the inequality for each of the line separately.

let us find the slope of dotted line first.

taking two coordinates on the graph.

let us say (0,0) and (3,1).

let us find the slope of the line now.

slope of the dotted line would be = $\frac{1-0}{3-0} = \frac{1}{3}$ .

y-intercept of dotted line is y=0 only.

plugging slope m= $\frac{1}{3}$ and b=0 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

$y=\frac{1}{3}x$ .

the line is shaded up of that dotted line.

therefore, for shading up we would take greater than inequality symbol > .

and because it's a dotted line we would take only > symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for dotted line would be

$y> \frac{1}{3}x$ .

let us take two points (3,1) and (0,4) on the solid line.

slope of the solid line would be = $\frac{4-1}{0-3} = \frac{3}{-3}=-1$ .

for the solid line we have y-intercept b= 4.

plugging slope m= -1 and b=4 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

y = -1x + 4.

the line is shaded down of that solid line.

therefore, for shading down we would take less than inequality symbol < .

and because it's a solid line we would take ≤ symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for solid line would be

y≤ -x +4 .
Write a system of inequalities to represent the shaded portion of the graph.
