messages as Mary. Mary sent 6 more messages than Rafael. How many messages did they each send?

M + R + G = 119
G = 3M
M = R + 6 —> R = M - 6

1st equation: M + (M-6) + (3M) = 119
5M -6 = 119
5M = 125

M = 25
G = 3(25) = 75
R = (25) -6 = 19

Anton [14]

The width would be 9 inches. Here's how I got the answer:

Double 12

Subtract from total

Take your difference and divide by two.

That will give you the width.

a wire of length 200 cm is cut into two parts and each part is bent to form a square.If the area of the larger square is 9 times

diamong [38]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>The perimeter of the larger square is $150cm.$ </em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>First of all, let one part of it be " $x$ "</em>

<em>and the other part of it " $200-x$ "</em>

<em>Now to solve this :</em>

<em>The area of the square = $L^2$ </em>

<em>The area of one part of the square = $x^2$ </em>

<em>The area of the other part of the square = $(200-x)^2$ </em>

<em> $9x^2= (200-x)^2\\9x^2=40000-400x+x^2$ </em>

<em></em>

<em>Now, add, $-4x^2$ to both the sides :</em>

<em> $9x^2-9x^2=40000-400x+x^2-9x^2\\-1(8x^2+400x-40000)=0$ </em>

<em />

<em>Now, take out the "8" which is common :</em>

<em> $-8(x^2+50x-5000)=0$ </em>

<em></em>

<em>Now, divide it by $-8$ :</em>

<em> $x^2+100x-50x-5000=0\\x(x+100)-50(x+100)=0\\(x+100)(x-50)=0\\$ </em>

<em> $x=-100$ or $50$ </em>

<em />

<em>So, now we know that :</em>

<em>One of the part is = $50cm$ </em>

<em>And the other part is = $150cm$ </em>

<em />

<em>Thus the perimeter of the larger square is = $150cm$ </em>

4(3x^2y^4)^3 / (2x^3y^5)^4

tatyana61 [14]

Solving the expressions $\frac{4(3x^2y^4)^3}{(2x^3y^5)^4}$ we get $\frac{27}{4x^{6}y^{8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to Solve the expression: $\frac{4(3x^2y^4)^3}{(2x^3y^5)^4}$

Solving:

$\frac{4(3x^2y^4)^3}{(2x^3y^5)^4}$

$=\frac{4(3^3x^6y^{12})}{(2^4x^{12}y^{20})}\\=\frac{4(27x^6y^{12})}{(16x^{12}y^{20})}\\=\frac{108x^6y^{12}}{16x^{12}y^{20}}$

Applying exponent rule: $\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}$

$=\frac{108x^{6-12}y^{12-20}}{16}\\=\frac{27x^{-6}y^{-8}}{4}$

Another exponent rule says: $x^{-a}=\frac{1}{x^a}=$

$=\frac{27}{4x^{6}y^{8}}$

So, solving the expressions $\frac{4(3x^2y^4)^3}{(2x^3y^5)^4}$ we get $\frac{27}{4x^{6}y^{8}}$
