First, let's write two expressions, letting x= the number of months which have elapsed:

Bill: 120 + 10x
Phil: 150 + 4x

If we set them equal to each other, then solve for x, that will be the number of months where their weights equal each other:

120+10x = 150 + 4x   [starting equation]
-120  -4x    -120 -4x    [ subtract 120 from both sides, and 4x from both sides, to isolate the term with the variable]

<u>6x</u> = <u>30</u>     [divide both sides by 5]
 5      5

x=6. They will weigh the same in six months.

Answer:

<u>Use cross-multiplication to solve these</u>

  • 1) 6/2 = 4/p ⇒ 6p = 4*2 ⇒ p = 8/6 ⇒ p = 4/3
  • 2) 4/k = 8/2 ⇒ 8k = 2*4 ⇒ k = 8/8 ⇒ k = 1
  • 3) n/4 = 8/7 ⇒ n = 4*8/7 ⇒ n = 32/7
  • 4) 5/3 = x/4 ⇒ x = 4*5/3 ⇒ x = 20/3

How do I do this? Please explain
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

\frac{1}{16}

Step-by-step explanation:

With a negative fractional exponent place a 1 over the positive value

\frac{1}{ {8}^{ \frac{4}{3} } }

rewrite 8 as

( {2}^{3} ) ^{ \frac{4}{3} }

apply the power rule and multiply the exponents.

cancel the common factor of 3

rewrite the expression

\frac{1}{ {2}^{4} }

raise 2 to the power of 4 which =16

so the answer is

\frac{1}{16}
