Richard = R & Teo = T

Richard & Teo are combined 41 it means R + T = 41

R = 8 + 2T

R + T = 41 #1

R = 8 + 2T #2

replace 2 in 1

8 + 2T + T = 41

8 + 3T = 41

3T = 41 -8 = 33

T = 11

R = 8 + 2*11 = 30

result = richard is 30 & teo is 11 years old.

2 times of Teo is 22

and 8 years older it means + 8

= 30

Generally speaking, a number $x$ coprime to $n$ will be a primitive root of $n$ if we have $x^n\equiv x\mod{n}$ , or $x^{n-1}\equiv1\mod{n}$ . In other words, if $x$ is of order $n-1$ modulo $n$ , then $x$ is a primitive root of $n$ .

Since none of these numbers has order 19, it follows that 20 does not have any primitive roots.

In 1846 the depth of the river was 2.5 feet deep. In 1847 it rose 9%. This year, 1848, it dropped 6%. How deep is the river now?

Virty [35]

Answer:

So the answer is 2.5615 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

So the river is 2.5 feet deep, and when you find that 9% is, using the cross-multiplication formula to find the percent then 9% of 2.5 is 0.225, and when you add that to 2.5 you get 2.725, and when you find 6% of 2.725, you get 0.1635, and since it dropped, you subtract, and you end up with 2.5615

2x + 2 = 3x - 52

-2x -2x

2 = 1x - 52

+52 +52

54 = 1x

54 = x

Check:

2(54) + 2 = 3(54) - 52
