Answer:

42 People

Step-by-step explanation:

P is the total amount of people. Before Cedric arrived, there were (2/3)P people at the party. After Cedric and six other people arrived, there are (2/3)P+7 people at the party. Since this is the same as (5/6)P, we solve (2/3)P+7=(5/6)P to find that P=42.

Answer: Hence, there are 36 total number of invited guests.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of invited guests be 'x'

Part of those invited had already arrived = \dfrac{2}{3}x

Number of people just arrived = 6

According to question, it brings the number at the party to \dfrac{5}{6} of those invited.

So, it becomes,

\dfrac{2}{3}x+6=\dfrac{5}{6}x\\\\6=\dfrac{5}{6}x-\dfrac{2}{3}x\\\\6=\dfrac{5x-4x}{6}\\\\6=\dfrac{x}{6}\\\\x=6\times 6\\\\x=36

Hence, there are 36 total number of invited guests.

50 PTS PLEASE HELP ASAP Find the product of 2x4(2x2 + 3x + 4).
bulgar [2K]
2x⁴(2x² + 3x + 4)

Simplify.

4x⁶ + 6x⁵ + 8x⁴   ==> The second answer choice.

We know this because :

Multiply 2x⁴ with 2x²

2x⁴ × 2x² = 4x⁶

Then, do :

2x⁴  × 3x = 6x⁵

Then, finally, do :

2x⁴  × 4 = 8x⁴

So, our answer looks like this :

4x⁶ + 6x⁵ + 8x⁴

Which determinants can be used to solve for x and y in the system of linear equations below?
NISA [10]
Are there choices? If there are, you should list them because there are some equivalents.
\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&16\\12&3\end{array}\right] \\  \left[\begin{array}{cc}-68&16\\21&3\end{array}\right] = x \\   \left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-68\\12&21\end{array}\right] = y \\

I'm assuming that you can solve these things. The top determinant comes to -180. The x value comes to - 540. When divided by the top one x = 3

The bottom determinant (y) comes to 900 and when divided by - 180 makes y = - 5. The checks out with actually solving the system of equations some other way.
