A group of nine turtles sat on a log. Two less than three times the original number of turtles climbed onto the log with the original group, creating an even larger group on the log. Suddenly, half of the large group of turtles were frightened by a sound and jumped off of the log and ran away. How many turtles remai...
Two less than three times the original number of turtles is (9*3)-2=<<9*3-2=25>>25. Thus, The original 9 were joined by 25 more, for a total of 25+9=<<9+25=34>>34 turtles. But half of the 34 turtles scurried away, leaving half remaining, or 34/2=<<34/2=17>>17 brave turtles #### 17
The positive integers $a$ and $b$ are such that the numbers $15a+16b$ and $16a-15b$ are both squares of positive integers. What is the least possible value that can be taken on by the smaller of these two squares?

The polynomial $P(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + bx +c$ has the property that the mean of its zeros, the product of its zeros, and the sum of its coefficients are all equal. If the $y$-intercept of the graph of $y= P(x)$ is 2, what is $b$?
