Answer: a²+b² = -99/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given two equations, this equations will be solved simultaneously to get a² and b²
a³ - 3ab² = 47 ... 1
b³ - 3a² b = 52... 2
From 1, a(a² - 3b²) = 47...3
From 2, b(b² - 3a²) = 52... 4
Adding 3 and 4, we have;
a²+b²-3b²-3a² = 99 (note that a and b will no longer be part of the equations as they have been factored out)
a²+b²-(3b²+3a²) = 99
(a²+b²) -3(b²+a²)= 99
Taking the difference we have
- 2(a²+b²) = 99
a²+b² = -99/2
Answer: 2nd most popular country = 15895 students
most popular country = 24390 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Total students: 40,285
2nd most popular country = x students
most popular country = x + 8,495 students
x + x + 8495 = 40285
2x + 8495 = 40285
2x = 40285 - 8495
2x = 31790
x = 15895
2nd most popular country = x = 15895 students
most popular country = x + 8,495 = 15895 + 8,495 = 24390 students
2/3(6c+4)-(8c-5)
1) Get rid of the negative signs
New equation (the ones in bold are the changes): 2/3(6c+4)+(-8c)+(5)
2) Use distributive property for the first part by multiplying 2/3*6c= 4c and 2/3*4= 2 2/3
New equation: 4c+2 2/3+ (-8c) + 5
3) Combine like terms: 4c+(-8c)= -4c and 2 2/3+5= 7 2/3
New and simplified equation: -4c+ 7 2/3
<h2>
Answer: He makes 261 baskets to earn 45 points.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of points = 2 + 3 = 5
Number of baskets = 29
if he makes 45 points,
We need to find the number of baskets.
According to question, we get that
Hence, he makes 261 baskets to earn 45 points.
