Answer:
maybe its so we can easily find the relationships between the numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
In the end Joanne had 55 sweets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of sweets that Xue Ying had be y and let the number of sweets Joanne had be x.
It is given that Xue Ying had 143 more sweets than Joanne. We can write this information as an equation.
y = x + 143.
It is also given that Joanne gave away 22 of her sweets and after that Xue Ying had 6 times as many more sweets. We can write this as an equation.
y = 6(x - 22) = 6x - 132.
Therefore we can equate the two equations and solve for x.
x + 143 = 6x - 132
5x = 275
∴ x = 
sweets.
Therefore in the end Joanne had 55 sweets.
Answer:
Rewrite so y is on the left side of the inequality.
−83y>43
Multiply each term by −38 and simplify.
Inequality Form:
y<−1/2
Interval Notation:
(−∞,−1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
The identity is of the form
(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2.
a) Sqrt 49 = 7 and we need + 28 as the middle coefficient . We get this with
2*7 + 2*7 so the first coefficient is 2*2 = 4.
So * = 4a^2.
(2a + 7)^2 = (2a + 7)(2a + 7) = 4x^2 + 14a + 14a + 49.
b) -6 * -6 = 36 -24 = 2*-6 + 2 *-6 so the last term is 4x^2
c) The middle term must be an 'ab' term.
sqrt 6.25 = 2.5 and sqrt 1/4 = 1/2
So the coefficient of the middle term is 2.5 * 1/2 + 2.5 * 1/2
= 2.5
So the middle term is 2.5ab.
d) The first term will be in b^2.
100 = 10* 10 and we need 2 as a middle term so coefficient of the first term
will be 1/100 or 0.01. as the 2 comes from 0.1 * 10 + 0.01 * 10 and (0.1)^2 = 0.01
So it is 0.01b^2.
Answer: it has a 20% increase
