Answer:

Charlie's weight is represented by the expression x+9. Since the equation needs their weights totaled, you must add x and x+9 and set it equal to 99 to get *2x + 9 = 99*

If the weight of the little brother is x, then the weight of  Charles is x + 9

The equation that can be used to determine what each one weighs is:

x + (x + 9) = 99.

Let us now solve it.

x + x +9 = 99

2x + 9 = 99

2x = 99 - 9

2x = 90

x = 90/2

x = 45

Little brother's  weight is 45 kg.

Charles'   weight  will be 45 + 9 =  54 kg

Adding these two weights will give 99kg

What is 1 divided by 5^-2? Please give clear explanation. thanks.
Pani-rosa [81]
1 / 5^-2

First, let's work out the denominator.
5^ -2 = 1/25. When an exponent is negative, it means to put a 1 over the product. Like we did earlier.

Now we have 1 / (1/25). 

1 / (1/25)
Divide 1 by 25.
1 / 0.04
Divide 1 by 0.04
25

The answer is 25!

Simplify. (-6x^2 + 2y - 1) + (2x^2-5y + 3) A) -4x^2 + 3y -2 B) -4x^2 - 3y - 2 C) -4x^2 + 3y +2 D) -4x^2 -3y +2
Rasek [7]

Combine like terms

-6x^2+2y + -1 +2x^2 + -5y +3

( -6x^2+2x^2)+(2y-5y)+(-1+3)

= -4x^2+3y+2

Answer : C


I hope that's help !
