21 picks
altogether (2x+5x)=21
7x=21
x=3
2*3=6 orange picks

or
x=orange, y = greens
x+y=21
x/y=2/5,---->   y=5x/2
x+5x/2=21
2x/2+5x/2=21
7x/2=21
7x=42,
x=6  orange picks

Solve the equation -15=a/5 <br> A=-3<br> A=-20<br> A=-10<br> A=-75
agasfer [191]

To solve any equation, you do whatever you need to do 
to wind up with the unknown quantity all alone on one side.
BUT ... whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must
also do to the other side.

Here, we have the
he original equation:           -15  =  a/5

Multiply each side by 5 :     -75  =  a

and bada-bing, THERE's the solution !

What is the radical form of the expression (2x^4y^5)^3/8
s344n2d4d5 [400]

We are given expression: (2x^4y^5)^{3/8}

Let us distribute 3/8 over exponents in parenthesis, we get

(2^{3/8}x^{4\times 3/8}y^{5\times 3/8}) = (2^{3/8}x^{12/8}y^{15/8})

= (2^{3/8}x^{1\frac{4}{8}} y^{1\frac{7}{8}} )

We can get x and y out of the radical because, we get whlole number 1 for x and y exponents for the mixed fractions.

So, we could write it as.

(2^{3/8}x^{1\frac{4}{8}} y^{1\frac{7}{8}} ) = xy(2^{\frac{3}{8} }x^{\frac{4}{8}} y^{\frac{7}{8}} )

Now, we could write inside expression of parenthesis in radical form.

xy\sqrt[8]{2x^{3}x^4y^7}

Second Man = (2 Hours * 1.3333 Hours) / (2 Hours - 1.3333 Hours)

Second Man = (2.6666666667 ) / (.666666667)

Second Man (when working alone) =  4 Hours
