sherry and mark picked a total of 75 cherries after mark ate 15 cherries the amount he had left was half as much as sherry how much cherries did mark pick ?

Mark picked 35 cherries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let sherry's cherry and mark's cherry be x and y respectively,

x + y = 75

x = 75 - yeqn ii

y - 15 = x/2...eqn ii

substituting eqn ii in eqn i,

y - 15 = x/2

or, y - 15 = (75 - y)/2

or, 2y - 30 = 75 - y

or, 2y + y = 75 + 30

or, 3y = 105

so, y = 35

2 x^2 -3x+p

sum of roots = 3/2

let other root be x

3+ x = 3/2

x= 3/2 - 3 = -3/2

product of roots = p/2

3× -3/2 = p/2

-9 = p
