Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
"a certain whole number" is a number that we don't know, so pick a variable, let's use n
"Twice" means two times, so we'll use 2n for this.
"subtracted from" means the 2n will be AFTER the minus sign.
____ - 2n
What goes in front? "3 times the square of the number" 3n^2
Now we have 3n^2 - 2n
Lastly, we see the result is 133. So this gives us:
3n^2 - 2n = 133 To solve, subtract 133 from both sides of the equation.
3n^2 -2n - 133 = 0 Next FACTOR.
(3n + 19)(n - 7) = 0
3n+19=0 and n-7=0
n=-19/3 and n=7
Since we are looking for a whole number choose n=7
You simplefie them and get 1/2 for 4/8
2/3 for 8/12
3/4 cannot be somplified
Answer:
m = x+y-z
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression.
(a^x a ^y) ÷ a^z = a^m
We are to express m in terms of x, y and z.
Using the multiplicative law of indices, the expression becomes:
a^{x+y} ÷ a^z = a^m
Applying the division rule in indices
a^{x+y} ÷ a^z = a^{x+y-z}
The equation becomes
a^{x+y-z} = a^m
Cancel out the base and equate the powers as shown:
x+y-z = m
Hence the expression of m in terms of x, y and z is m = x+y-z
The equation is false, has no solutions.
