Answer:
The penquins had more fish.
Number of fish polar bears and penguins had combined is 5,520.
Step-by-step explanation:
The polar bears had 2,208 fish (48 piles times 46 fish).
The penquins had 3,312 fish (144 piles [48 times 3] times 23 fish [46 divided by 2]).
2208 fish plus 3312 fish equals 5,520 fish.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression:

There are several ways this problem can be approached, and therefore many different answers. The goal is to reduce the given expression to a simple product of two terms in x, set that to the given form 3a⋅7b then solve for a and b.

Cancel the common factors 3 and 7:


Separate the fraction:




Now equate the simplified expression to the given form:

Therefore:

However, we could also separate them as:

Another way of writing them would be to go back a few steps and separate the fraction in x terms differently:

Therefore, this would give us:

As the given expression reduces to x⁵, we can separate the x term in any way we like, so long as the coefficient of a is ¹/₃ and the coefficient of b is ¹/₇. Therefore, there are many possible answers.
