3(3x+8)=4(2x+8)
9x+24=8x+32
x=8
2(8)=16
3(8)=24
that means that the younger brother is 16 years old
-3^2= -(3)^2
The exponent of 2 only applies to the number 3. -(3)^2 should equal -9. This is true because according to the order of operations, exponents should be evaluated before multiplication. The negative sign here represents -1* 3^2.
If you want to find -3 to the power of 2 it must be written (-3)^2.
Answer:
1/2×+12=10, x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Just trust me on this
We need the cross product of the two vectors.
a x b
=<2,-2,-3> x <3,2,2>
=
i j k
2 -2 -3
3 2 2
=<-4+6, -(4+9), 4+6>
=<2,-13,10>
The second vector is obtained by reversing the direction, namely <-2,13,-10>
Thus the two vectors are <2,-13,10> and <-2,13,-10>.
compound interest equation for annually compounded
A=final amount
P=principal
r=rate in decimal
t=time in years
given that
A=1550
P=1000
r=5.5%=0.055
find t
divide both sides by 1000
take ln of both sides
use ln rule 
divide both sides by ln(1.055)
using a calculator, we get that t=8.18544 yrs
so about 8.2yrs
