Answer:

The given such number = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the given number = m

The quotient of the number m and 2 = $\frac{m}{2}$

The difference of the number doubled and 3 = 2 (number) - 3 = 2 m - 3

Now, according to the question:

Quotient of number and 2 = Difference of the number doubled and 3

$\implies \frac{m}{2} = 2m -3\\or, m = 2 (2m -3) = 4 m - 6\\\implies 4m - m = 6\\or, 3 m = 6\\\implies m = \frac{6}{3} = 2$

or, m = 2

Hence the desired such number = 2

Answer:

7) $\dfrac{25c^2}{d^4}$

8) $4w^6r$

Step-by-step explanation:

You must use the laws of exponents.

$(\dfrac{5c}{d^2})^2 =$

When you raise a fraction to an exponent, raise the numerator and the denominator to that exponent.

$= \dfrac{(5c)^2}{(d^2)^2}$

When you raise a product to an exponent, raise each factor to that exponent.

When you raise an exponent to an exponent, multiply the exponents.

$= \dfrac{5^2c^2}{d^4}$

$= \dfrac{25c^2}{d^4}$

$\dfrac{-16w^7r^2}{-4wr} =$

To divide powers with the same base, subtract the exponents. Remember that a plain variable, such as w is the same as w^1.

$=\dfrac{-16}{-4}w^{7-1}r^{2-1}$

$= 4w^6r$

Amaiya purchased a box of 36 pencils to donate to Ms. Annunziata’s class, but not all pencils were used. The ratio of pencils th

deff fn [24]

15 pencils were left from the box of pencils Amaiya bought.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of pencils in box = 36

Ratio of used pencils to not used = 7:5

Let,

7x be the total pencils used.

5x be the total pencils not used.

Therefore,

7x+5x=36

$12x=36$

Dividing both sides by 12;

$\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{36}{12}\\x=3$

Therefore,

Used pencils = 7x = 7*3 = 21

Not used pencils = 5x = 5*3 = 15

15 pencils were left from the box of pencils Amaiya bought.
