Simplifying 4(y + -3) = 6(y + 2) Reorder the terms: 4(-3 + y) = 6(y + 2) (-3 * 4 + y * 4) = 6(y + 2) (-12 + 4y) = 6(y + 2) Reorder the terms: -12 + 4y = 6(2 + y) -12 + 4y = (2 * 6 + y * 6) -12 + 4y = (12 + 6y) Solving -12 + 4y = 12 + 6y Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-6y' to each side of the equation. -12 + 4y + -6y = 12 + 6y + -6y Combine like terms: 4y + -6y = -2y -12 + -2y = 12 + 6y + -6y Combine like terms: 6y + -6y = 0 -12 + -2y = 12 + 0 -12 + -2y = 12 Add '12' to each side of the equation. -12 + 12 + -2y = 12 + 12 Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0 0 + -2y = 12 + 12 -2y = 12 + 12 Combine like terms: 12 + 12 = 24 -2y = 24 Divide each side by '-2'. y = -12 Simplifying y = -12

A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat on the first of the 64 squares of a chess

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Total weight of the wheat placed on 45th square will be = $1.26\times 10^{6}tons$

Step-by-step explanation:

King rewarded the inventor of chess by giving grain of wheat on every square of the chess board. He places one grain of wheat on first square, 2 on second, 4 on 3rd, 8 on 4th and so on.

In fact he places grains of wheat in a progression S = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.........n terms where value of n is 64.

We can rewrite the progression as S = 2°, 2, 2², 2³,.........n terms (n = 64)

In a geometric progression we know the nth term = $a(r^{n-1})$
