The answer is x=9 because if you do 3x+-2 that gives you 1 and 1 divided by 9 is 9 and you get that by getting rid of your 6 first and adding it to the 3 from 3(x+1)
5 baskets...each holds 15 apples....(5 x 15) = 75 apples
4 friends pick the same amount...
4 x 75 = 300 apples picked in total. <==
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the problem is asking you to factor out the formula, it can be done easily by finding a common number with the two givens.
4 goes into both 12 and 16 evenly, so we will use this to factor. But that's not all, we have the n-variable to worry about.
Look at the n-variable exponents in the problem, take the highest power that can go be subtracted from both and use that. We have a
and
. Since 5 can't go into 3, we must use 3 to factor.
Our factoring variable will therefore be
. Now, use this to simply divide and get the answer:

So how did we get this? For the whole numbers, we have to divide: (12/4, 16/4). Next, we have to minus the exponents since we are dividing.
When dividing the 12 and 4, minus the
and
to get
. Get rid of the
term for the 16 and leave the 4. And there's your answer!
Difference would be 1000x3.0 - 8.8x10000 = -85000
Scientific notation would be 8.5x10^-4
