Step-by-step explanation:

You need to remember the properties of exponents: multiplication adds the exponents, division subtracts the exponents.
If you multiply two powers with the same base, the result will be the base to the sum of the powers.
If you divide two powers with the same base, the result will be the base to the difference of the powers.
In your case you will this:

That is:

Or:

Answer:
You have to take 15 pens to get at least one red pencil.
Step-by-step explanation:
If there were one red and 6 green pens, there would be more red than green pens.
If there were 3 or more blue and thus 18 or more green pens, the number of pens would be over 20.
So there must be 2 blue, 12 green and thus 6 red pencils. So you have to take at least 15 pens to be sure that you got a red one.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be x,y, where x>y
The geometric mean is

The Arithmetic mean is

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5.

We can write the equation;

or

l
and

or

Make y the subject in equation 2

Put equation 3 in 1





When x=1, y=10-1=9
When x=9, y=10-9=1
Therefore x=9, and y=1
The ratio of the smaller number to the larger number is

Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Form the fraction 16/64, evaluate it (obtaining 1/4) and multiply this result by 100%. This results in 25%.
25 % of the games played were decided by 3 points or less
Answer:
easey, sub them
(x,y)
see if true
(0,1), 2(0)+1>-4, 1>-4, true
(4,-12), 2(4)+-12>-4, 8-12>-4, -4>-4, false
(5,-12), 2(5)+-12>-4, 10-12<-4, -2>-4, true
(-1,-1), 2(-1)+-1>-4, -2-1>-4, -3>-4, true
(-3,0), 2(-3)+0>-4, -6>-4, false
answers are
(0,1)
(5,-12)
(-1,-1)
