Answer: what the heck do you have to answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
wives
sacks
cats
kits
Suppose the man in the St. Ives poem has x wives, each wife has x sacks, each sack has x cats, and each cat has x kits. Write an expression using exponents that represents the total number of kits, cats, sacks, and wives going to St .Ives.
Step-by-step explanation:
wives
If each of the "x" wives has "x" sacks, so the number of sacks is:
sacks
If each of the "x" wives has "x" sacks, and each sack has "x" cats, so the number of cats is:
cats
If each of the "x" wives has "x" sacks, and each sack has "x" cats, and each cat has "x" kits, so the number of kits is:
kits
Answer:
x =3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(4x + 4) = 2(5x+9) - 12
First step is to open the brackets by multiplying. It becomes
3×4x + 3×4 = 2×5x + 2×9 -12
12x + 12 = 10x + 18 - 12
Collecting like terms on the right hand side and left hand side of the equation, it becomes
12x -10x = 18 -12 -12
2x = -6
Negative sign on the right hand side of the equation overwhelms the positive sign on left hand side of the equation. It becomes
2x = -6
x = -6/2 = -3
Checking
3(4×-3 + 4) = 2(5×-3+9) - 12
-24 = -12-12= -24
So x = -3
Answer
8x^2+11x-9
