Which property was used to simplify the expression? (3z)^2 = 3^2z^2 = 9z^2

1 answer:

3 0

One of the product rules for exponents was used.
$(ab)^{c}=a^{c}b^{c}$

Or, you can consider that the definition of an exponent and the associative and commutative properties of multiplication were used.
$(3z)^{2}\\=(3z)(3z)\\=3\cdot 3\cdot z\cdot z\\=3^{2}z^{2}\\=9z^{2}$

The ratio of 6th graders to 7th graders in a MATHCOUNTS club is 5:4. The ratio of 8th graders to 7th graders in the same club is

lorasvet [3.4K]

ANSWER
========

Ratio of 8th graders to 7th graders = 3 : 2

Let the number of graders be 3x and 2x

Number of 8th graders = 18

So , 3x = 18

x = 18/3 = 6

Number of 7th graders = 2 × 6 = 12

Ratio of 6th graders to 7th graders = 5 : 4

Let the number of graders be 5a and 4a

Number of 7th graders = 12

So , 4a = 12

a = 12/4 = 3

Number of 6th graders = 5×3 = 15 ANS

x = total amount of gumballs

let's start subtracting the balls she's giving away

$\stackrel{total}{x}-\stackrel{\textit{to jaysen}}{\cfrac{x}{2}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{what's left}}{\cfrac{x}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{half of what's left to Marinda}}{\cfrac{~~ \frac{x}{2}~~}{2}\implies \cfrac{x}{4}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{what was left minus Marinda's}}{\cfrac{x}{2}-\cfrac{x}{4}\implies \stackrel{\textit{what's left}}{\cfrac{x}{4}}}~\hfill ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{a third of what's left to Zack}}{\cfrac{~~ \frac{x}{4}~~}{3}\implies \cfrac{x}{12}}$

$\stackrel{\textit{what was left minus Zack's}}{\cfrac{x}{4}-\cfrac{x}{12}\implies \stackrel{\textit{what's left}}{\cfrac{x}{6}}}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{her sister gets 5 balls of what's left}}{ \cfrac{x}{6}-5 }$

and we also know that after all that has been subtracted, she's only left with 5, so we can say that

$\stackrel{\textit{what's finally left}}{\cfrac{x}{6}-5}~~ = ~~\stackrel{\textit{what's finally left}}{5}\implies \cfrac{x}{6}=10\implies \boxed{x = 60}$

What is the solution to q/-7=6?

marta [7]

Answer:

q in (-oo:+oo)

q/(-7) = 6 // - 6

q/(-7)-6 = 0

-1/7*q-6 = 0 // + 6

-1/7*q = 6 // : -1/7

q = 6/(-1/7)

q = -42

Hope I was helpful! :)

The perimeter of a square is represented by the expression 4(4.3 - 6). Which statement is true?O The perimeter can also be repre

lana66690 [7]

the perimeter is:

4(4x - 6)

Applying distributive property:

4(4x) - 4(6)

16x - 24

Then, the perimeter can also be represented by 16x - 24 because 4(4x - 6) can be simplified to 16x - 24
