Answer:
-8X^4y^2
Step-by-step explanation:
-2X² × 4X²y² = -8X^4y^2
edit to add:
first: multiply the coefficients together:
-2 x 4 = -8
second: add the exponents of X together (when you multiply exponents, you just add them together):
² & ² = ^4
and you have the answer:
-8X^4y^2
Question:
Jesse and Amir were assigned the same book to read. Jesse started reading on Saturday, and he is reading 30 pages a day. Amir didn't start until Sunday, but he is reading 35 pages a day.
How many days will it take Amir to catch up to Jesse, and how many pages will they each have read?
Write an equation to represent the number of pages Amir has read. Use x to represent the number of days Amir has been reading and y to represent the number of pages he has read.
Answer:
It will take 6 days
Step-by-step explanation:
For Jesse:

This implies that Jesse will cover 30y in y days
For Amir:

This implies that Amir will cover 35x in x days
Because Amir starts a day later,

So, we have the following equations:



To get the number of days when they read the same number of pages, we have:

Substitute values for Jesse and Amir

Substitute x + 1 for y

Answer:
To find out the number coming from each school, you need to use the proportion of the school's population out of the population of all three.
Total population = 618 + 378 + 204
= 1,200 students
North Middle school:
= 618/1,200 * 20
= 10 students
Central Middle School:
= 378 / 1,200 * 20
= 6 students
South Middle School:
= 204/1,200 * 20
= 4 students
