<span>Just do 11-2 to get 9 so your answer is x to the 9th power where 9 is the exponent. Remember if u have to divide two numbers (same base or same number) and they have different exponents just subtract the exponents (top exponent minus bottom exponent)</span>
So 16=heads
18=tails
after you add some tails
18+x
ratio of heads to tails is 1:1.5
heads=16, didn't change
tails=18+x
so
1:1.5=16:18+x
fractionify
1/1.5=16/(18+x)
1/1.5=2/3
2/3=16/(18+x)
mutiply both sides by (3)(18+x)
2(18+x)=3(16)
36+2x=48
subtract 36 from both sides
2x=12
divide 2
x=6
6 tails added
total=heads+tails
heads=16
tails=18+6=24
total=16+24
total=40
6 tails added
40 total coins
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2>Solution :- </h2>
Let the number be "x" , then according to the question :
• 2x - 12 = -8
Further solving
→ 2x = -8 + 12
→ 2x = 4 .
→ x = 2
