Answer:
m-9
Step-by-step explanation:
m represents how much cards he used to have he gave away 9 so u subtract
Let's call the two numbers
and
.
Given these variables, we can say:
, based on the first sentence in the problem.
Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:

To solve, we can simply substitute
in for
in the second equation and solve.


- Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition


- Cross multiplication (
)


- Subtract
from both sides of the equation

- Factor left side of the equation

Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,
,
Since
is not positive in this case,
is not a solution.
Thus,
is our only solution. In this case,
,
which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.
You would multiply the power by the powers of both exponents
2 × 3 = 6 so a^6
3 × 4 = 12 so b^12
Answer is
a^6b^12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
find the slope

take a coordinate to fill in

this means that the equation is y=2x-13
and if you add m and b
you get :-11
<u><em>I HOPE THIS HELPS</em></u>
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
We know 12 divided by 4 is 3 so the same is so in the negatives
