Answer: Russia earned 13 gold medals, 11 silver medals and 9 bronze medals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of gold medals that Russia earned.

Let y represent the number of silver medals that Russia earned.

Let z represent the number of bronze medals that Russia earned.

Russia earned a total of 33 medals. This means that

x + y + z = 33 - - - - - - - - - - - 1!

In the 2014 winter olympics in sochi russia earned 4 more gold medals than bronze. This means that

x = z + 4

The number of silver medals earned was 7 less than twice the number of bronze. This means that

y = 2z - 7

Substituting x = z + 4 and y = 2z - 7 into equation 1, it becomes

z + 4 + 2z - 7 + z = 33

4z - 3 = 33

4z = 33 + 3 = 36

z = 36/4 = 9

x = z + 4 = 9 + 4

x = 13

y = 2z - 7 = 2 × 9 - 7

y = 11

Solve for F.<br> 3(6-f)-4=3f-4
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

F=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(6−f)−4=3f−4

(3)(6)+(3)(−f)+−4=3f+−4(Distribute)

18+−3f+−4=3f+−4

(−3f)+(18+−4)=3f−4(Combine Like Terms)

−3f+14=3f−4

−3f+14=3f−4

Step 2: Subtract 3f from both sides.

−3f+14−3f=3f−4−3f

−6f+14=−4

Step 3: Subtract 14 from both sides.

−6f+14−14=−4−14

−6f=−18

Step 4: Divide both sides by -6.

−6f−6=−18−6f=3

Answer:

f=3

Identify an equation in point-slope form for the line perpendicular to
erik [133]

Answer:

A. y - 7 = -4(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Insert the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT signs. Remember, in the Point-Slope Formula, <em>y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)</em><em>,</em><em> </em>all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE term of what they really are. In addition, I recall that perpendicular lines have OPPOSITE <em>MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSE </em>[<em>RECIPROCAL</em>] <em>rate of changes</em> [<em>slopes</em>], so -4 really should be replaced with ¼, but if your assignment says otherwise, then this is the answer.

Which of the following is equivalent to 7^2•7^5•2^2/7^3•2^6
kondor19780726 [428]

When you add, you subtract the exponents. When you divide, you subtract the exponents.

When you have multiplication and division in one expression, you do it from left to right.

7^2 times 7^5 = 7^ (2+5) = 7^7

7^7 times 2^2 / 7^3 = 7 ^(7 - 3) times 2^2

7^4 times 2^2 times 2^6 = 7^4 times 2^(2+6) = 7^4 times 2^8

Put it in a calculator.

614656.

That is the answer, but you didn't include the "which of the following", so I guess you'll have to put each value in the calculator to find out!

If the 7^3 times 2^6 is in parenthesis, then the answer is 150.0625.
