Answer:

Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and 188 large marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Let the number of small marbles be x

ii) let the number of medium marbles be y

iii) let the number of large marbles be z

iv) Amy has 5 times as many small marbles as medium marbles therefore we can write  5y = x

v) the number of large marbles is two more than than three times the number of medium marbles therefore we can write

   z = 3y + 2

vi) Amy has a total of 560 marbles therefore we can write x + y + z = 560

vii) Therefore from i) we can write x  = 5y

viii) using vii) and v) in vi) we can write

    x + y + z  = 5y + y + 3y + 2 = 560

ix) Therefore 9y = 558   .... therefore y = \frac{558}{9} = 62

x) Therefore from i) we get x  = y \times 5 = 62 \times 5 = 310

xi) Therefore z  = (3 \times 62) + 2 =  188

Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and 188 large marbles.

(4x^4+7x+5x^3)+(8x^4+6x^3-3x)-(4x^4+4x^3-8x)<br>plz help​
ryzh [129]

Answer:

8x⁴ - 7x³ + 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

=(4x⁴ + 7x + 5x³) + (8x⁴ + 6x³ - 3x)- (4x⁴ + 4x³ - 8x)

=4x⁴ + 7x + 5x³ + 8x⁴ + 6x³ - 3x - 4x⁴ - 4x³ + 8x

=4x⁴ + 8x⁴ - 4x⁴+ <em>5x³ + 6x³ - 4x³</em> + <u>7x - 3x + 8x</u>

=8x⁴ + 7x³ + 12x
