X is the larger, y is smaller

X=3y

2x-6=y+19

2(3y)-6=y+19
5y=25
Y=5

X=15

What is the exponents <br>​
zmey [24]
The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication.

For Example, In 8² , the 2 is the number of times 8 has to be multiplied. In this case It has to multiplied by itself 2 times, 8x8 = 64 so 8² = 64.
Another example is 9³ since the number above is 3 we have to multiply 9 three times, 9x9x9 = 729 which means 9³ = 729.

Hope this helps

X^2 + 5x - 24 = 0 How do I solve by factoring
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

x = -8 or x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor ax² + bx + c, use AC method.

a times c is 1 × -24 = -24.

Factors of ac (-24) that add up to b (5) are 8 and -3.

Divide by a and reduce: 8/1 and -3/1.

Therefore, the factors are x + 8 and x − 3.

x² + 5x − 24 = 0

(x + 8) (x − 3) = 0

x = -8 or 3

75% of the children at Fisher Elementary walk to school. If there are 200 students at Fisher Elementary, how many walk to school
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer: 150 students walk to school

Step-by-step explanation: 75%=0.75

200 multiplied by 0.75

 200×0.75=150 students

            Or

75%=3/4

3/4 of the children walk to school

3/4×200=3/4×200/1=150

How can you use the Distributive Property to check your work when factoring? Once an expression has been factored, use the Distr
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Once an expression has been factored, use the Distributive Property to expand the expression. The expanded expression should be the original expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property for any binary operation Ф under * in the given set S where a, b, c ∈ S

The binary operation a * (b Ф c) = (a * b) Ф (a * c) .

The operation * distributes over the operation Ф.

Now, when factoring, suppose we have an expression ab + ac. To factor this, we have a(b + c).

To check that our answer is correct, since the expression has been factored, we then distribute the multiplication over the addition to check if the factorization is correct.

So, a(b + c) = ab + ac which is our initial expression.

So, to use the distributive property to check work when factoring, once an expression has been factored, use the Distributive Property to expand the expression. The expanded expression should be the original expression.
