the numbers are 3 and 18

let the first number be n then the second number = 6n and the sum

sum = n + 6n = 21 thus

7n = 21

divide both sides of the equation by 7

n = $\frac{21}{7}$ = 3

the numbers are 3 and 6 × 3 = 18 → (3 + 18 = 21)

A + B = 21
6 x A = B

A + 6xA = 21
7xA=21
21/7= 3

A=3
B=18

What is the Quotient Rule for exponents?

Drupady [299]

So I think the rule is that you divide two exponents with the same base, you keep the base and subtract the powers.

What is the value of x + 3y + z if x = 4, y = 5, and z= 22<br>a) 16<br>b) 41<br>c) 2

fgiga [73]

Answer:

OPTION B - 41

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression is given and the corresponding values for the expression are also given. We have to substitute the given values to arrive at the answer.

The given expression is: x + 3y + z.

Also given: x = 4, y = 5, z = 22.

Substitute these values in the above expression, we get:

4 + 3(5) + 22 = 4 + 15 + 22 = 41.

∴ x + 3y + z = 41
