Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of clips in box A = 40

Number of clips in box B = 23

If Sally took out 6 clips from each box

Remaining clips in box A = 40 - 6 = 34 which is twice of 17

Remaining clips in box B = 23 - 6 = 17

Answer:

Sally took 6 paperclips from each box

Step-by-step explanation:

Paper clips in Box A = 40

Paper clips in Box B  = 23

Let the equal number paperclips removed from each box = x

Number of clips in box A after taking 'x' clips = 40 -x

Number of clips in box B after taking 'x' clips = 23 -x

40 - x = 2*(23 -x)

40 - x = 2*23 - 2*x

40 -x = 46 - 2x  {Add 2x to both sides}

40 - x + 2x = 46          {Combine like terms}

40 + x = 46         {Subtract 40 form both sides }

x = 46 - 40

x = 6

Sally took 6 paperclips from each box

Answer:

use identity (a - b) ^3 = a^3 - b^3 - 3ab (a - b)

here, a = x ^2

b = -1

= (x^2)^3 - (-1)^3 - 3 * x ^2 * -1 ( x^2 - (-1) )

x^6+ 3 x^2 ( x ^2 + 1)

I need to know what rule represents the enlargement of a figure
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

(x, y) → (215·x, 215·y)

Step-by-step explanation:

An enlargement is a form of transformation involving an alteration of the size of the shape. When a shape is to be enlarged, the center of the shape is noted and the enlargement of the dimensions of the shape from that center is by multiplication of each point by the factor of the enlargement or the scale factor.

Therefore, based on the requirement for enlargement, and given the dimension of the point from the center as (x, y) the enlargement then is (215·x, 215·y), where 215 is the scale factor.
