Answer:

4pq(p³+q³)

Step-by-step explanation:

Exactly 5 game would be when 4 wins and 1 loss of a particular person

loss has to be one of the first 4 games

A wins: qp⁴ + pqp³ + p²qp² + p³qp

= qp⁴ + qp⁴ + qp⁴ + qp⁴ = 4qp⁴

B wins: pq⁴ + qpq³ + q²pq² + q³pq

= pq⁴ + pq⁴ + pq⁴ + pq⁴ = 4pq⁴

A wins or B wins:

4pq⁴ + 4qp⁴ = 4pq(q³+p³)

AleksandrR [38]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:


Her number is 7.


Explanation:


Let x represent her number.


She triples her number; this is represented by 3x.


She then adds 5 to this; this gives us 3x+5.


She gets 26 aas her answer. This gives us the equation:

3x+5 = 26


To solve this, first subtract 5 from each side:


3x+5-5 = 26-5

3x = 21


Divide each side by 3:

3x/3 = 21/3

x = 7

I don't know how to do this problem:
mariarad [96]

Answer:

3^3×3

81

3^7/3^3

Explanation:

First you should solve the expression you've got there.

(3^6×3^-4)^2

3^6= 3×3×3×3×3×3 the answer is 729

3^-4 A negative exponent means repeated division by the base. So for example 2^-4=1/(2^4)

=1/(2×2×2×2)= 1/16

3^-4= 1/(3^4)

=1/(3×3×3×3)

= 1/81 If you look up the answer in your calculator the answer that will show up will be 0.01234567901

So!

(729×0.01234567901)^2= 9^2

9^2= 81

Now you can look at the following expressions and whichever gives the answer 81 will be correct.

hope it helps!
