Answer:

Larger number(x)=20

Step-by-step explanation:

They're saying that the larger number 3 times is EQUAL(the same) to 4 times the smaller number.

The smallest number=35-x.

The larger number= x.

3 times the larger number=3x

4 times the smaller number=4(35-x)

Now, input it into an equation and solve:

3x=4(35-x) Distribute by multiplying 4 with 35 and x.

3x+4x=140-4x+4x Get 140 by itself by adding 4x.

7x/7=140/7 Divide.

x=20

Since x= the larger number, x=20.

What is the value of this expression when a=3 and b=-2?

navik [9.2K]

You can put the numbers where the variables are and do the arithmetic, or you can simplify the expression first. In the latter case, you have
(3a^(-2-(-1))b^(6-5)/2)^2 = (3a^(-1)b^1/2^2 = (3b/(2a))^2
= (3(-2)/(2(3)))^2 = (-1)^2 = 1

The value of the expression is 1.
