Answer:
x= 8
Step-by-step explanation:
17x + 3 = 139
17x = 136
x = 8
Maybe 12 I’m not really sure
Answer:
y = 5/6x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
b = 4 because when x = 0, y = 4
m = (y2 -y1) / (x2 - x1)
where two points on the equation are (x1, y1) & (x2, y2)
Let's pick points (6,9) & (-6,-1)
m = (-1 - 9) / (-6 - 6)
m = -10 / -12 = 5/6
The answer is C
Have a nice day man
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To get maximum product we need to optimize how we break down the numbers
Its obvious we don't want number 1 to be used as it won't change the product
Also we don't want to use big numbers, we can have four 5's instead of two 10's as it would give greater product, 5*5 > 10
<u>What is best number?</u>
- 2 and 3 are the smallest, 4 can be written as two 2's
- 5 = 2+ 3 and 2*3 = 6, so it is better to use 2's and 3's instead of 5
- 6 = 2+2+2, 2^3 = 8 and 6 = 3+ 3, 3^2 = 9, so it is better to use two 3's for 6
- 7 = 2+2+3, 2*2*3= 12, again 2's and 3's make greater product
<u>So the best is to break the number down to 2's and 3's</u>
- 23 = 2*10 + 3 ⇒ 2^10*3 = 3072
- 23 = 3*7 + 2 ⇒ 3^7*2 = 4374
As we see the maximum product we can get is 4374 with seven 3's and one 2.
<u>Hence the numbers are:</u>
