Jim started with b baseball cards and gave 13 away. So, that means we take away from his starting amount or b.
So, b - 13 is the expression you are looking for.
Answer:
x = 41
y = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Systems of equations is,
-2x - 7y = -250 ------(1)
4x - y = 140 ------(2)
Equation (1) multiplied by 2 then added to equation (2)
-4x -14y = -500
(+) 4x - y = 140
-15y = -360
y =
y = 24
by putting y = 24 in equation (2),
4x - 24 = 140
4x = 140 + 24
x =
x = 41
For x = 41 and y = 24 both the equations are true.
Equation (1), -2(41) - 7(24) = -250 [True]
Equation (2), 4(41) - (24) = 140 [True]
Step-by-step explanation:
Good question I’m not sure what it is but I’m sure you can look on google
I suppose you just have to simplify this expression.
(2ˣ⁺² - 2ˣ⁺³) / (2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺²)
Divide through every term by the lowest power of 2, which would be <em>x</em> + 1 :
… = (2ˣ⁺²/2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺³/2ˣ⁺¹) / (2ˣ⁺¹/2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺²/2ˣ⁺¹)
Recall that <em>n</em>ª / <em>n</em>ᵇ = <em>n</em>ª⁻ᵇ, so that we have
… = (2⁽ˣ⁺²⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ - 2⁽ˣ⁺³⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾) / (2⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ - 2⁽ˣ⁺²⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾)
… = (2¹ - 2²) / (2⁰ - 2¹)
… = (2 - 4) / (1 - 2)
… = (-2) / (-1)
… = 2
Another way to get the same result: rewrite every term as a multiple of <em>y</em> = 2ˣ :
… = (2²×2ˣ - 2³×2ˣ) / (2×2ˣ - 2²×2ˣ)
… = (4×2ˣ - 8×2ˣ) / (2×2ˣ - 4×2ˣ)
… = (4<em>y</em> - 8<em>y</em>) / (2<em>y</em> - 4<em>y</em>)
… = (-4<em>y</em>) / (-2<em>y</em>)
… = 2
Hey I have posted a picture the method I use to solve simultaneous equations is change the sign and follow the new sign.
This involves changing the sign for the second equation and solving it
