Answer: the winning strategy is to take 1 chip, leaving our opponent with  the losing position of 5 chips.

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose we start with 6 chips.

* If we take 1 chip, we leave our opponent with 5 - which we showed  

  was a losing position for him.

* If we take 2 chip (leaving 4), our opponent will take 3 - we lose.

* If we take 3 chip (leaving 3), our opponent will take 2 - we lose.

So our winning strategy is to take 1 chip, leaving our opponent with  

the losing position of 5 chips.

Use a calculator to solve this problem:<br><br> 28 + 27 × 36
Annette [7]

For this case we have that according to the order of algebraic operations PEMDAS, the multiplications have priority over the addition and subtraction, then, we have the following expression:

28 + 27 * 36 =\\28 + 972 =\\1000

Thus, the value of the expression is 1000.

Answer:

28 + 27 * 36 = 1000

A plot of land doubles in size by adding x meters to the length and x meters to the width of the land. if the original plot had
ladessa [460]
Lets write as an equation the info provided in the problem:
original area = 200*300 = 60000 squared meters
Adding x meters to the length is: 300 + x
Adding x meters to the width is: 200 + x
If the area doubles in size we have: 2*<span>60000
Now writing as a single equation all info:
(300 + x)(200 + x) = 120000
We have to make the operations and solve:
60000 + 300x + 200x + x^2 = </span><span>120000
x^2 + 500x - 60000 = 0
This is a squared trinomial, to solve it we need two numbers that subtracted give us 500 and multiplied -60000:
(x + 600)(x -100) = 0
So there are two solutions, x = -600 and x = 100, we choose the positive one:
x = 100
thererefore the value of x is 100 meters</span>
