8, 9 you basically just evaluate the equation in the parentheses
Answer:
q=371
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 3/4 - 1/2 = 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4. Vanessa's brothers ate half of the cake.
2) 1.75 + 2.4 = 4.15. 6.5 - 4.15 = 2.35. 4.15 = 2.35 = 1.8. Chad hiked 1.8 ore miles in the morning than in the afternoon.
I think you mean y=ab^x.
First, plug in the values of x=2 and y=24 for the first equation, and x=3 and y=48 for the second one:
24 = ab^2
48 = ab^3
divide equation 2 by equation 1:
2 = b^1
or, more simply:
2 = b
now plug b into one of the equations to get "a":
24 = a*2^2
24 = a*4
6 = a
So, the answer is y = 6(2)^x
(I think you need to specify the power of x in your answers)
