Answer:

The answer is B.500

Step-by-step explanation:

The original equation containing unknown variables would be 500(t) (with "t" representing the number of days)

So if you fill the variable in with a 2, that means it's been 2 days with the increase of 500 bacteria each day.

That means the initial number of bacteria must be 500.

If it's been 2 days and you want to determine the bacteria number, then multiply 500 by 2 and you get yourself 1000 bacteria.

A box contains a collection of triangular and square tiles. There are 2525 tiles in the box, containing 8484 edges total. How ma

AnnyKZ [126]

Let us consider the number of edges = x
we know that a triangle will have 3 edges and a square will have 4 edges. Using this details we can form an equation.
3x + 4x = 8484
7x = 8484
x = 8484/7
= 1212
Then
Number of square tiles = 1212/4
= 303
So there are 303 square tiles in the box. I hope the procedure is clear enough for your understanding. You can always use this method for solving similar problems.

(3/5)^2+4X3-2 what is the value of the expression

Sliva [168]

Answer:

10.36

Step-by-step explanation:

So your solution would be:

$(\frac{3}{5})^{2} + 4 \times 3 - 2$

$=(\frac{3}{5})^{2} + 4 \times 3 - 2$

$=\dfrac{3^{2}}{5^{2}} + 4 \times 3 - 2$

$=\dfrac{9}{25} + 4 \times 3 - 2$

$=0.36 + 4 \times 3 - 2$

$=0.36 + 12 - 2$

$=12.36 - 2$

$=10.36$

Just try to remember PEMDAS.

Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.

This is the order we follow when going about expressions with many operations.

Let's start with the parenthesis part. Notice that there is an exponent beside the parenthesis enclosing the fraction. Here we use the quotient to a power rule. We distribute the exponent to the numerator and the denominator.

$=(\frac{3}{5})^{2} + 4 \times 3 - 2\\$

$=\dfrac{3^{2}}{5^{2}} + 4 \times 3 - 2$

$=\dfrac{9}{25} + 4 \times 3 - 2$

Now that we got the parenthesis and exponent out of the way, let's move on to the next. Multiplication/Division. Whichever comes first, you do it first.

We have a fraction so we do that first. Then we do the multiplication after.

$=0.36 + 4 \times 3 - 2$

$=0.36 + 12 - 2$

Next we do the addition/subtraction. Again, whichever comes first.

$=12.36 - 2$

$=10.36$

In a certain year, there were 92 female officials in Congress, which is comprised of the House of Representatives and the Senate

crimeas [40]

Answer:

There are 78 female members of the House of Representatives and 14 female members of the Senate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h equal the amount of female members of the House of Representatives and s equal the amount of female members in the Senate.

Since the amount of female officials in Congress is 92, and is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate, we can represent this as the equation h+s=92

Since there are 64 more female members in the House of Representatives than female Senators, the senators would need 64 more female members to have the same amount as the House of Representatives. We can represent this as h=s+64.

Substituting, we get s+64+s=92, which simplifies to 2s+64=92. Subtracting 64 from both sides, we get 2s=28, which equals to s=14. There are 14 female senators. Substituting back into h+s=92, 14+s=92, and s=78. Therefore, there are 78 female members of the House of Representatives and 14 female members of the Senate.
