Answer:

423

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by setting up a formula.

x = the shorter piece

total = 1313

longer piece = (x*2) + 44

x + (x*2) + 44 = 1313

Simplify

3x + 44 = 1313

Now we must solve for x.

Whatever you do on the left side of the equal sign must also be done on the right.

The goal is to get x by itself on the left side.

Do the easiest thing first, which is usually addition or subtraction. In this case, subtract 44 from both sides.

3x + 44 - 44 = 1313 - 44

3x = 1269

Now the only way to cancel out the 3 on the left is to divide by 3. Since 3/3 =1. Remember this must be done on both sides to keep things equal.

3x/3 = 1269/3

x=423

The End

6 zeros

You pretty much just multiply the 4 and the 8 and proceed by adding the quantity of zeros. So the product would be 32,000,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

21-2.50 is 18.50

with this he can buy 9 with 15 dollars but he still has 3.50 left over

if he uses this left over change he can buy two more which would make 11.

If this is wrong I am sorry!

What is (-7)^2 × (-7)?<br><br> I will mark the Brainliest, thank, and comment!<br><br> Thank you!

Answer:

The answer is -343.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a term doesn't have an exponent, it's considered that the exponent is 1 (so basically, (-7)² x (-7)^1.

Multiply the terms with the same base (by adding the exponents - (-7)²+1<- (as the exponential value) (couldn't find the sign so sorry.)

Add the numbers: (-7)³

A negative base raised to an odd power equals a negative: -7³

Write the problem out: -(7 x 7 x 7).

Multiply: -343
