If the first equation is multiplied by 3 and then the equations are added, the result is _____.

alina1380 [7]

To practice, what if the two are added now? lets add one term at a time. first the x terms. 3x+x= 4x. then y+-3y=-2y. finally 3+-2=1. now putting them together we get 4x-2y=1.

multiplying the first equation by 3 gets us 9x+3y=9. basically multiplying each term by 3. now just do the same thing from the first part, so start with the new 9x+x and continue

Simplify the expression.<br>Write your answer without negative exponents. NEED AN ANSWER ASAP

harina [27]

Answer:

$\boxed{\frac{-3b^4 }{a^6 }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{-18a^{-8}b^{-3}}{6a^{-2}b^{-7}}$

$\frac{-18}{6} \times \frac{a^{-8}}{a^{-2}} \times \frac{b^{-3}}{b^{-7}}$

$-3 \times \frac{a^{-8}}{a^{-2}} \times \frac{b^{-3}}{b^{-7}}$

Apply the law of exponents, when dividing exponents with same base, we subtract the exponents.

$-3 \times a^{-8-(-2)} \times b^{-3- (-7)}$

$-3 \times a^{-8+2} \times b^{-3+7}$

$-3 \times a^{-6} \times b^{4}$

${-3a^{-6}b^{4}}$

The answer should be without negative exponents.

$a^{-6}=\frac{1}{a^6 }$

$\frac{-3b^4 }{a^6 }$

Which decimal is greater: 0.347 or 0.437?

trapecia [35]

Answer:

0.437

Step-by-step explanation:

Decimals are read the same as whole numbers, starting with the first digit, which is the largest, to the right. So, to find the larger decimal you need to look at the first digit. If this digit is the same then continue to the right until there is a difference in the number. In this case, the first digit is different. Therefore, whichever has the larger first digit must be the greater one. Since 4 > 3, 0.437 must be greater than 0.347.
