Answer:

-5x/5 +5y/5=10/5=2

y-x=2

y=x+2

21x+7*(x+2)=42

21x+7x+14=42

28x=42-14

28x=28

x=1

y=1+2

y=3

Write the expression using a single exponent.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: D. 7^11

Reason:

The rule we use is $a^b*a^c = a^{b+c}$

When multiplying exponentials of the same base, we add the exponents.

The exponents 5 and 6 add to 5+6 = 11

So,

$7^5 \times 7^6 = 7^{5+6} = 7^{11}$

The base stays the same the entire time.

A person is purchasing a new golf club bag. The compartment for the golf balls is approximately the shape of a rectangular prism

Lerok [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: ≈ 178 balls

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

rectangular prism = 8 in x 11 in x 5 in

golf balls = 1.68 in diameter

Formula

Volume rectangular prism = l x w x h = 8 x 11 x 5 = 440 in³

Volume of ball = (4/3) πr³ = (4/3) (3.1416) (0.84)³ = 2.48 in³

# of balls inside the compartment = volume rectangular prism / volume ball

# of balls = 440 / 2.48

= 177.4 ≈ 178 balls

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:97 rods

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of steel rods for 95% confidence level

$n=\left ( \frac{Z_\frac{\alpha }{2}\times \hat{\sigma }}{E} \right )^2$

$Z_\frac{\alpha }{2}=1.96$

E=3

$\hat{\sigma }=15$

Substituting values

$n=\left ( \frac{1.96\times 15}{3}\right )^2$

$n=96.04\approx 97$

Thus 97 rods is tested
