2/3 = 6/9

6/9 - 4/9 = 2/9

160÷2 = 80

80 = 1/9

80*9= 720 pennies

2/3X - 160 = 4/9X
2/3X - 4/9X = 160
6/9X -4/9X = 160
2/9X = 160
X =80x9
X = 720

Answer:

B. $- \frac{9}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\huge\frac{ - 2 {a}^{ - 3} {b}^{2} }{a} \\ \\ \huge = \frac{ - 2 {b}^{2} }{a \times{a}^{ 3} } \\ \\ \huge = \frac{ - 2 {b}^{2} }{{a}^{ 4} } \\ \\ \huge = \frac{ - 2 \times {3}^{2} }{ {( - 2)}^{4} } \\ \\ \huge= \frac{ - 2 \times 9}{16} \\ \\ \huge \red{= - \frac{9}{8} }$

Sams brother is 7 years older than Sam. His mother is 4 less than 3 times sams age. Their combined age is 63. How old isn’t Sam,

statuscvo [17]

The answer is 14. This is because 63=3+x+3x-4. Then You just subtract it and then you get 64=4x. Then you just divide it and then you get x=16.

Answer:

The value of x that maximizes the volume enclosed by this box is 0.46 inches

The maximum volume is 3.02 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The volume of the open-topped box is equal to

$V=LWH$

where

$L=(7-2x)\ in\\W=(2-2x)\ in\\H=x\ in$

substitute

$V=(7-2x)(2-2x)x$

Convert to expanded form

$V=(7-2x)(2-2x)x\\V=(14-14x-4x+4x^{2})x\\V=14x-14x^2-4x^2+4x^{3}\\V=4x^{3}-18x^{2} +14x$

using a graphing tool

Graph the cubic equation

Remember that

The domain for x is the interval -----> (0,1)

Because

If x>1

then

the width is negative (W=2-2x)

so

The maximum is the point (0.46,3.02)

see the attached figure

therefore

The value of x that maximizes the volume enclosed by this box is 0.46 inches

The maximum volume is 3.02 cubic inches
