Answer:

Possible solution 1: -4.5 and -8

Solution 2: 4 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be a and b.

One of them (let it be b) is 1 more than twice the other one. In other words,

b= 1+ 2a.

Their product is 36. Or:

a(b) = 36.

Substitute b:

a(1+2a) = 36

2a^2 + a = 36

2a^2 + a - 36 = 0

This is now a quadratic. We can factor to solve it. Find two numbers that equals 2(-36)=-72 and add to 1. We can use 9 and -8. Thus:

2a^2 - 8a + 9a - 36 = 0

2a(a - 4) +9(a-4) = (2a+9)(a-4) = 0

So, a = -9/2 = -4.5 <em>or</em> a = 4.

Thus, b can equal 1 + 2(-4.5) = -8 <em>or</em> 1 + 2(4) = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

4^5 (-2)^9/4^8 (-2)^3

= 4^(5 - 8) (-2^(9 - 3))

= 4^-3 (-2^6)

= (-2)^6/4^3

1). (-2)^a/4^b

a = 6, b = 3

2). c/d

c = -2, d = 4

Need help with 9(c) plzzz

Since we are given the values for both rows only in the second column, we can use this to solve for the rest of the missing values. Simply divide 3 by 2.49 and multiply that resultant by and multiply that by any missing value for cookies to find the missing cost. In order to solve for the cookies when cost is given, divide 2.49 by 3 and multiply that resultant. I will solve for the first, third, and fourth columns.

3/29=1.2
For column 1, 1.2*1=1.20
For column 3, 1.2*20=24.10
For column 4, 1.2*100=12.00
