6x + 3y = 79.5
3x + 2y = 41     y = -3/2x + 41/2      y = -1.5x + 20.5

6x + 3(-1.5x + 20.5) = 79.5
6x - 4.5x + 61.5 = 79.5
1.5x + 61.5 = 79.5
1.5x = 18
x = 12

Each shirt costs $12.
Now insert that number into the x to find the cost of each tie.

3(12) + 2y = 41
36 + 2y = 41
2y = 5
y = 2.5

Each tie costs $2.50.

What is the least common denominator of 4/x * -4/2x^2?
Vanyuwa [196]
The least common denominator would be 2x^2
that is because you would have to multiply the first fraction by 2x
but you can't just somehow simplify 2x^2, it wouldn't be right
4/x * -4/2x^2
2x*4/(2x*x) * -4/2x^2
8x /2x^2 * -4/2x^2
Then you would complete it 

Hope this helps :)

Can someone help please!!!!
lara [203]

Answer:

1000 * 3^{9} Bacteria after 18 hours,

Step-by-step explanation:

The condition given in the problem is that the number of bacterial triple after every 2 hours.

So, after 2 hours, total bacteria= 1000 * 3

So, after 4 hours, total bacteria= 1000 * 3 * 3

Therefore, the general format for the number of bacteria is 1000 * 3^{n}, where n is the number of times the bacteria has tripled.

In 18 hours, there are \frac{18}{2} ties that the bacteria has tripled.

Therefore, the no. of bacteria after 9 hours= 1000 * 3^{9}
