Answer:

The correct anser is option

B. 2x + 2 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hot dogs eaten by the runner up be represented by x

If Dave ate 2 more than twice x, this means that the number eaten by him = 2x + 2

Since the total number of hot dogs eaten by Dave is 18

Therefore, the equation will be

2x + 2 = 18

So the number of hot dogs eaten by the runner-up is determined by solving for x

2x= 18-2

2× = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

The runner up are 8

While Dave are

2×8 + 2 = 18.

Answer:

When solved for x, the runner-up ate 2x + 2 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Dave won by eating 18 hot dogs

He ate two more than twice the amount of the runner-up.

Suppose the runner-up ate x-hot dogs.

That means Dave ate two more than twice of x. This can be written as

Twice of x is 2x

And two more than twice of x is 2x + 2.

So, Dave ate (2x + 2) hot dogs.

Since we already know that Dave ate 18, we can say

2x + 2 = 18

2x = 16

x = 8

Answer:

1=40

2=140

3=40

Step-by-step explanation:

We know on side

140 and side 2 are equal

1 and 3 are equal

So since 140 and 2 are equal

140*2=280

360 degrees total in any 4 sided shape

360-280=80

80/2=40

which of the following best describes 4^2/3? a. sq root of 16, b. cube root of 4, c. sq root of four, d. cube root of 16
son4ous [18]

Answer: D) cube root of 16

================================================

Explanation:

The rule we use is

x^{m/n} = \sqrt[n]{x^m}

In this case, x = 4, m = 2 and n = 3.

So,

x^{m/n} = \sqrt[n]{x^m}\\\\\\4^{2/3} = \sqrt[3]{4^2}\\\\\\4^{2/3} = \sqrt[3]{16}\\\\\\

Showing that the original expression turns into the cube root of 16.
