Answer:
Joseph caught 7 tadpoles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of tadpoles caught by Joseph be x
The number of tadpoles Wendy caught will be ;
9(x + 3)
After Joseph was upset, he released half of Wendy’s tadpole and then six times as many as Joseph caught swam away leaving Wendy with only three tadpoles left;
Hence, mathematically;
9(x + 3)/2 - 6x = 3
Multiply through be 2
9(x + 3) - 12x = 6
9x + 27 -12x = 6
9x -12x = 6-27
3x = 21
x = 21/3
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x³y^-4)^-2 = 1/(4x⁶y^‐8) = y⁸/(4x⁶)
1/(8x⁵y^-7) = y⁷/(8x⁵)
4x^-9y⁴ = 4y⁴/x⁹
so, the whole expression is then
y⁸/(4x⁶) × y⁷/(8x⁵) × 4y⁴/x⁹
4y¹⁹/(32x²⁰) = y¹⁹/(8x²⁰)
so, D is the correct answer.
A, c, and d
plug in each x in the equation and it should equal the y value
