Answer:

For this case we have the following notation:

y= the number of minutes that you read

x = the number of minutes that your brother read

And we have that you decide to read 30 minutes longer than your brother, so the equation would be:

y = x+30

And for the other part of the question if x =15 we got:

y = 15+30 = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: "You and your brother are reading the same novel. You want to get ahead of him in the book, so you decide to read 30 minutes longer than your brother reads. Write an equation for the number of minutes you read, y, when your brother reads x number of minutes.

How many minutes will you read if your brother reads for 15 minutes?"

Solution to the problem

For this case we have the following notation:

y= the number of minutes that you read

x = the number of minutes that your brother read

And we have that you decide to read 30 minutes longer than your brother, so the equation would be:

y = x+30

And for the other part of the question if x =15 we got:

y = 15+30 = 45

84. Use properties of exponents to rewrite each expression with only positive, rational exponents. Then find the numerical value
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

a) 1/27

b) 16

c) 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

a) x^{-3/2}

One of the properties of the exponents tells us that when we have a negative exponent we can express it in terms of its positive exponent by turning it into the denominator (and changing its sign), so we would have:

x^{-3/2}=\frac{1}{x^{3/2} }

And now, solving for x = 9 we have:

\frac{1}{x^{3/2}}=\frac{1}{9^{3/2} }  =\frac{1}{27}

b) y^{4/3}

This is already a positive rational exponent so we are just going to substitute the value of y = 8 into the expression

y^{4/3}=8^{4/3}=16

c) z^{-3/4}

Using the same property we used in a) we have:

z^{-3/4}=\frac{1}{z^{3/4} }

And now, solving for z = 16 we have:

\frac{1}{z^3/4} } =\frac{1}{16^{3/4} } =\frac{1}{8}

What's the Error? Explain the error. Find the correct solution.<br>19 + (-31) = 12​
Alex

Answer:

The answer is incorrect because 12 should be negative not positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 19 + -31 = - 12

2. Twelve is negative because if you were to start off at -31 and add 19 the answer would remain negative since -31 in a sense is "bigger" than 19. You would need more of a positive number to make -31 positive such as 40.

40+ -31 = 9
