There are 27 purple marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the purple marbles

and

w be the white marbles

Then according to given statements

p+w = 34\ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\p = 4w-1\ \ \ Eqn 2

Putting p = 4w-1 in equation 1

4w-1 +w = 34

Adding one on both sides

5w-1+1 = 34+1\\5w = 35

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5w}{5} = \frac{35}{5}\\w = 7

Putting w = 7 in equation 2

p = 4(7)-1\\p = 28-1\\p = 27

Hence,

There are 27 purple marbles

Can someone help me asap !!
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The answer is negative. Answer choice B

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the question:

-3^40(5.6/2.1)

According to order of operations, we must do -3^40 first.

Its important to note that -3^40 is different than (-3)^40. In the problem you specified, the ^40 only applies to the 3, not -3. So, first we do 3^40 which is a huge number. And then, we need to add a negative symbol to that huge number. So now we have a massive negative number multiplied by 5.6/2.1, which is obviously positive. Obviously, a negative number multiplied by a positive number is still negative. Therfore, the answer is negative.

I hope my answer helped you :)
