Mickey's bowling score is 167 and Minnie's bowling score is 61

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

1. Mickey's bowling score is 16 less than 3 times Minnie's score

2. The sum of their scores is 228

We need to find the score of each one

Assume that the score of Minnie is x

∵ Minnie's score = x

∵ Mickey's score is 16 less than 3 times Minnie's score

- That means subtract 16 from 3 times Minnie's score

∴ Mickey's score = 3 x - 16

∵ The sum of their scores is 228

- Add their scores and equate the sum by 228

∴ x + 3 x - 16 = 228

- Add like terms in the left hand side

∴ 4 x - 16 = 228

- Add 16 for both sides

∴ 4 x = 244

- Divide both sides by 4

∴ x = 61

Substitute the value of x to find their scores

∵ Minnie's score is x

∴ Minnie's score = 61

∵ Mickey's score is 3 x - 16

∴ Mickey's score = 3(61) - 16 = 167

Mickey's bowling score is 167 and Minnie's bowling score is 61

Simplify square root of 2 over cube root of 2.

Fed [463]

Answer:

2 to the power of one sixth

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you don't already know this, any type of root can be expressed as an exponent. Generally speaking:

$\sqrt[n]{x} = {x}^{ \frac{1}{n} }$

So you can rewrite the given fraction as

$\frac{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{2} } }{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{3} } }$

and then reduce as you normally would. That is, if the bases of the numerator and denominator are the same, then you can subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent like so:

$\frac{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{2} } }{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{3} } } = {2}^{ \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} }$

Since

$\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{6} - \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{6}$

the answer is

${2}^{ \frac{1}{6} } \: or \: \sqrt[6]{2}$

How would you write 4n + 3 as a verbal expression

Tatiana [17]

<h3>4 times a number increased by 3.</h3>

When we have a number that appears

right before a variable, it means multiplication.

So 4n means the same thing as 4 times a number.

Remember, n is a variable which is just a

letter that represents any number.

Since we are adding 3 to 4n, we can say

4 times a number increased by 3.

So 4n + 3 can be written as 4 times a number increased by 3.
