Answer:

435

Explanation:

Suppose there were 3 people, A, B, and C. The hand shakes would be AB, AC and BC...2+1=3

Suppose there were 4 people, A,B,C,and D. The hand shakes would be AB,AC,AD,BC,BD,CD...3+2+1=6

Suppose there were 5 people, A,B,C,D and E. The shakes would be AB,AC,AD,AE,BC,BD,BE,CD,CE,DE...4+3+2+1=10

Get the pattern?

So, you would do: 29+28+27+26+25+24+23+22+21+20+19+18+17+16+15+14+13+12+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1

Total 435

10 POINTS Which expressions are equal to 6^3 x 2^6/2^3?

Kaylis [27]

When dividing, exponential powers are subtracted. When multiplying, power are added the base remains the same if the two bases are the same number. If they are different, the bases are multiplied and the same power is simply kept. With this in mind, let us solve this question!

6^3 × 2^6 / 2^3 ----- Multiplication or division can be done first. I do division because it's easier that way. 6-3 = 3

6^3 * 2^3 ------ Multiply bases and keep the power.

B.) 12^3

Hope this helps!

Plz help me I really don't know

The value of the expression would be 16.25 or 16 and 1/4, because when you multiply something by 1/2, you’re basically dividing it by 2, and when you put parentheses next to a number (for example 2(4) ), it means that you’re multiplying it, and when more than one values are in the parentheses, they all get multiplied, basically distributive property.

Find the value of this expression if x= 9. x square + 6 over x-6.

torisob [31]

Hold on, does the equation look like this? (x^2+6)/x-6? Because if so then you'd substitute nine for x first. Then you'd multiply nine by itself getting eighty-one, after that add six to get eighty-seven. substitute nine for x one more and subtract six. take eighty-seven divided by three to get an answer of twenty-nine. But if the equation is saying the square of nine aside from nine squared then you'd have an entirely different problem. That one would look similar to *square symbol*(9)+6/9-6
, You'd solve this by finding the square of nine which is three then you'd add six and get a numerator of nine. Then you go about the bottom the same as you would have in the first equation, subtract six from nine giving you a denominator of three so you now have nine over three which simplified is three.

The two answers are 29 or 3 depending on the equation.
