Each student needs a pencil and a eraser to take a test. if pencils come in 8 in a box and erasers come 12 in a bag, what is te least number of boxes and bags needed for 24 students to each have a pencil and a eraser

The least number of boxes and bags needed are 3 and 2 respectively.

Explanation

Suppose, the number of boxes is and the number of bags is

Given that, pencils come in 8 in a box and erasers come 12 in a bag.

So, the total number of pencils in number of boxes and the total number of erasers in number of bags

As there are total 24 students and each student needs one pencil and one eraser to take a test, so...

and

So, the least number of boxes and bags needed are 3 and 2 respectively.

sorry man i accidentally pressed yes my bad

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

to determine whether a given function is even, we simply substitute x with -x in the expression. if the result after simplification is identical to the original equation, then the function is said to be even other wise odd.

f(-x) = (-x)^2 - (-x) + 8

      = x^2 + x +8

the resulting function is not identical to the original one;

f(-x) ≠ f(x)

therefore, f(x) is not an even function
