Answer:

x=-17, y=5. (-17, 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x-5y=9

3x+11y=4

---------------

3(-2x-5y)=3(9)

2(3x+11y)=2(4)

---------------------

-6x-15y=27

6x+22y=8

-----------------

7y=35

y=35/7

y=5

3x+11(5)=4

3x+55=4

3x=4-55

3x=-51

x=-51/3

x=-17

Which expression is equivalent to (256x^16)^1/4<br> A.4x^2<br> B.4x^4<br> C. 64x^2<br> D. 64x^4

antiseptic1488 [7]

Given expression: $(256x^{16})^{1/4}$ .

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \left(a\cdot \:b\right)^n=a^nb^n$

$=256^{\frac{1}{4}}\left(x^{16}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}}$

$256=4^4$

$256^{\frac{1}{4}}=\left(4^4\right)^{\frac{1}{4}}=4$

$\left(x^{16}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}}=x^{16\cdot \frac{1}{4}}=x^4$

$(256x^{16})^{1/4} =4x^4$

<h3>Therefore, correct option is B option : B.4x^4</h3>

A survey of 100 people found that 35 people exercise in

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Jim's claim is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Total survey=100 people

Morning exercise=35 people

Afternoon exercise=45 people

Night exercise=20 people

Morning exercise : Total survey

=35 : 100

Afternoon exercise : Total survey

=45 : 100

Night exercise : Total survey

=20 : 100

Jim's claim is correct because in finding the ratio, one has to relate it with the total people involved in the survey.

Tara's claim however seems to relate one variable with two other variables

Example:

35 : 55

Morning exercise : (morning exercise + night exercise)

35 : (35+20)

35 : 55

SpyIntel [72]

Hey there! I"m happy to help!

We see that 1 inch is equal to 5.6 miles for this scale factor. If we have three inches, we simply multiply 5.6 by 3 to figure out how many miles this is!

5.6(3)=16.8

Therefore, Janet's home is 16.8 miles from her office.
