The correct answer is that she picked 16 green peppers. We can work this out because 16 + 4 = 20, and 4 x 4 is 16, so therefore there were 16 green peppers and 4 red peppers.

Let x be the red peppers

and y be the green peppers

Meredith picked four times as many green peppers as red peppers

So green peppers = 4 times red peppers

The equation becomes y = 4x

she picked a total of 20 peppers. So x + y = 20

Now we plug in 4x for y

x + 4x = 20

5x = 20 ( divide by 5 on both sides)

x = 4

Number of red peppers = 4

We know , y = 4x = 4(4) = 16

So number green peppers = 16

She picked 16 green peppers

which ordered pairs in the form (x, y) are solutions to the equation 3x−4y=21 ? Select each correct answer. (−1, −6) (−3, 3) (11
Valentin [98]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which ordered pairs are solutions to the equation

Substitute the x and y values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are a solution.

(- 1, - 6)

3(- 1) - 4(- 6) = - 3 + 24 = 21 = right side ← thus a solution

(- 3, 3)

3(- 3) - 4(3) = - 9 - 12 = - 21 ≠ 21 ← not a solution

(11, 3)

3(11) - 4(3) = 33 - 12 = 21 = right side ← thus a solution

(7, 0)

3(7) - 4(0) = 21 - 0 = 21 = right side ← thus a solution

The ordered pairs (- 1, - 6), (11, 3), (7, 0) are solutions to the equation

Solve for 'p'
Darina [25.2K]
\left(\dfrac{9a^{-4}}{25}\right)^p=\dfrac3{5a^2}
\left(\dfrac9{25a^4}\right)^p=\dfrac3{5a^2}

One way to find p is to notice that the part on the left hand side within the parentheses can be written as a square:

\dfrac9{25a^4}=\dfrac{3^2}{5^2(a^2)^2}=\left(\dfrac3{5a^2}\right)^2

So you could write

\left(\left(\dfrac3{5a^2}\right)^2\right)^p=\left(\dfrac3{5a^2}\right)^{2p}=\dfrac3{5a^2}

Since these two expressions are equal, and the bases are the same, you know the exponents must be equal, with the exponent on the right hand side being 1. So 2p=1, or p=\dfrac12.

Whats the common ratio of the sequence 7.04 Q14​
julsineya [31]

Answer:

\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is a geometric sequence.

We can find the common ratio using any two consecutive terms of the sequence.

r=\frac{\frac{-1}{10} }{\frac{x-2}{5} }=\frac{-1}{10}\times \frac{-5}{2}=\frac{1}{4}

The common ratio is \frac{1}{4}
