Charlotte volunteered to deliver dinners for seniors. The supervisor told her to take half the meals to Oak Hill Senior Center, one-fourth of them to the Glenview Apartment complex, and one-fifth of them to North-side neighborhood center. Unfortunately, there were 19 meals, which didn’t divide evenly as mandated. How could Charlotte follow the supervisor’s instructions without splitting apart any meals?

Charlotte should take 5 meals to Glenview Apartment complex, 4 meals to North-side neighborhood center and 10 meals to Oak Hill Senior Center

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number of meals = 19 meals

The fraction of the meals to be taken to Oak Hill = (1/2)

The fraction of the meals to be taken to Glenview Apartment = (1/4)

The fraction of the meals to be taken to North-side neighborhood = (1/5)

Let A represent an even number of meals, we have;

The total meals she delivers = (1/2)·A + (1/4)·A + (1/5)·A = (19/20)·A

The remaining meals = A - (19/20)·A = (1/20)·A

Therefore, if the meals where 20, she would have an excess of 1 meal left

Therefore, the number of meals she can share using the given fractions = 19 meals

Therefore;

The number of whole meals she can take to Glenview = 20×(1/4) meals = 5 meals

The number of whole meals she can take to North-side neighborhood = 20 × (1/5) meals = 4 meals

Therefore, the number of meals she would take to Oak Hill Senior Center = (20 - 5 - 4) meals = 10 meals

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
