Marie is 5 years old

4m - 2l = -10 ------- x
l = 3m ---------------- y

sub y into x
4m - 2(3m) = -10
4m - 6m = -10
-2m = -10
m = -10/-2
m = 5 years old

Well we know that... $a^{-1}=\frac{1}{a^{1} }\\$ .

So... $(\frac{1}{5})^{-1}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{5}^{1}}=5\\\\$ .

Because $5^{3}=125$ ,

$\frac{1}{5}^{-1*3}=125\\ x=-1*3=-3$

Hector is dividing students into groups for an HR wants to divide the boys and girls so that each group has the same number of t

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

7 groups, 3 boys and 8 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of groups be $x$

and total hikers in one group be $y$

if number of girls and boys in every group is same, then

$\frac{21}{x} + \frac{56}{x} = y$

$\frac{21 + 56}{x} = y\\x*y = 77$ ....(1)

from (1) $x$ will either be 11 or 7

for $x = 11$ the values won't be real.

For $x = 7\\y = \frac{77}{7} \\y = 11$

so there will be 7 groups with 11 hikers in each groups and every group will have $\frac{21}{7} = 3$ boys and $\frac{56}{7} = 8$ girls
