12 bro it even says to follow the order of operations. If there is only addition and subtraction you just go from left to right. Same with if there is only multiplication and division.
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
First add -16 to -8.
your equation then is n=8.
You get your answer.
Answer: subtraction
Reasoning: You need to subtract 3 from both sides first.
Given:
The function is

where, function r gives the instantaneous growth rate of a fruit fly population x days after the start of an experiment.
To find:
Number of complex and real zeros.
Time intervals for which the population increased and population deceased.
Solution:
We have,


Here, degree of function x is 3. It means, the given function has 3 zeros.
From the given graph it is clear that, the graph of function r(x) intersect x-axis at once.
So, the given function r(x) has only one real root and other two real roots are complex.
Therefore, function r has 2 complex zeros and one real zero.
Before x=6, the graph of r(x) is below the x-axis and after that the graph of r(x) is above the x-axis.
Negative values of r(x) represents the decrease in population and positive value of r(x) represents the increase in population.
Therefore, based on instantaneous growth rate, the population decreased between 0 and 6 hours and the population increased after 6 hours.
Answer: 491 cards
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Steve had 10 more cards than Jeff
Suppose Jeff has x cards
So, steve has x+10 cards
Steve handover his cards to Jeff
Now, Jeff has x+x+10=2x+10 cards
It must be equal to 992

Jeff started with 491 cards
