Answer:
x+3y=-9
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(x+3y)=18
x+3y=18/-2
x+3y=-9
Answer:
6 fingers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X = the base of the numbers above
If X > 0
Then we have:
325 = 3 * X² + 2 * X¹ + 5 * X°
325 = 3X² + 2X + 5
42 = 4*X¹ + 2*X°
42 = 4X+ 2
And
411 = 4*X²+ 1*X¹ 1*X°
42 = 4X² + X + 1
Since 325 + 42= 11 then
3X² + 2X + 5 + 4X+ 2 = 4X² + X + 1 ------ Collect Like Terms
3X² - 4X² + 2X + 4X - X + 5 + 2 - 1 = 0
-X² + 5X + 6 = 0 ------- Multiply both sides by -1
X² - 5X - 6 = 0 ------- Factorise the Equation
X² - 6X + X - 6 = 0
X(X - 6) + 1( X - 6) = 0
(X + 1)(X - 6) = 0
X + 1 = 0 or X - 6 = 0
X = -1 or X = 6
But X>0
So, X =-1 is invalid
X = 6
The expected number of fingers of the Martian is 6
