Assuming that <span>4^2-6(2^x)-16=0 is correct, we can rearrange it as:
</span><span>-6(2^x) + 4^2 - 16=0
Are you sure it's not </span>6(2^x) + 4^2 - 16=0 ?
If 6(2^x) + 4^2 - 16=0 is correct, then
6(2^x) + 4^2 - 16=16 - 16 = 0, that is, 6(2^x) = 0. Then x = 0 (answer)
Gertie 3/4 mile.
Sarah 2/4 mile.
Gertie ran farther by: 3/4 - 2/4 = (3 -2)/4 = 1/4
Gertie ran farther by 1/4 mile.
There are 714 boys in that school, you can cross multiply and divide to find the answer, if you wanna check. The way I wrote it was x (boys) / 1309 = 6/11.
