We want to multiply the monomial 
by the monomial 
.
Remember that to multiply monomials we need to use the laws of exponents; in this case, the law for multiplying powers with the same base. The rule says that, when you multiply powers of the same base, you just need to add the exponents: 
, 
. Also, is worth pointing out that the exponent of a variable with no exponent is 1: 
.
Remember that we also need to multiply their coefficients , which are the numbers that multiply the variables; again, variables with no numbers have a coefficient of 1, so 
. Multiply coefficients is easy, you just need to multiply them as you usually do with everyday numbers.
Let's apply all of that to our multiplication:
We can conclude that 2x times x squared is 2x cubed.
If x = # of quarters, then, the # of dimes will be equal to 2x. The total value (z) would be equal to:
z = 0.25x + 0.10(2x)
Then, since you switch the quarters and the dimes, and you have a new total, the resulting equation will be:
1.2 + z = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)
Plug in the values you know:
1.2 + (0.25x + 0.10(2x)) = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)
Solve for x:
1.2 + (0.25x + 0.20x) = 0.50x + 0.10x
1.2 + 0.45x = 0.60x
1.2 = 0.15x
x = 1.2/0.15 = 8
This means that there are 8 Quarters in her bag right now. So, the amount of dimes is just 2x which is 16. So your answer will be:
She has 8 Quarters and 16 Dimes in her bag right now. Or, $3.60.
If this doesn't make sense, then tell me. I have some resources where I got the answer from to put it into simplest terms. I have the website if you want.
Flip should get 4 boxes.
6*5=30
30/8=3.75
round up for 4.
Given that 4000 items are checked in one month, let the number of detective items be represented as y.
Quality control finds on average that 0.026% of the items in the factory are detective. This implies that
When 4000 items are checked, we have the number of detective items to be evaluated as
Hence, the number of detective items is 1.04.
