In order to answer this question, we must break this mathematical expression up into a series of mathematical operations (exponent, multiplication,division, addition, and/or subtraction):
"4 times a number" - The word "times" implies that we have to multiply 4 by an unknown number. We can simply label this unknown number as x.
"cubed" - In order to "cube" a number, we must raise it to the third power, or have an exponent of 3. Our unknown number of x now becomes x3 because we raised it to the third power.
"decreased by 7" - The word "decreased" implies that we must subtract 7 from the product of 4 multiplied by x3
With all of the information we now have, we can form an algebraic expression for this problem.
"4 times a number cubed decreased by 3" now becomes:
4x3 - 7
Can u show us how the location looks please?
Answer:
total 1 hour 15 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
3:45 - 5:00
lets count one by one
3:45 - 4:00 = 15 mins
4:00 - 5:00 = 1 hour
total 1 hour 15 mins
Multiply the first equation by -2 to eliminate a variable so it becomes:
-12x+8y=48
4x-8y=-32
Add them together.
-8x=16
x=-2
Plug it in one equation.
6(2)-4y=-24
12-4y=-24
-4y=-12
y=3
Ordered pair is: (-2,3)
