Answer:
When you multiply two numbers or variables with the same base, you simply add the exponents. When you multiply expressions with the same exponent but different bases, you multiply the bases and use the same exponent.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 5y = -2
3x + 7y = 26
Subtract first equation from second
2y = 28
y = 14
Plug it in
x = -24
The next number is 38. The pattern is 7, 16, 8, 27, 9; if you look at the first 4 numbers, you notice that it counts to 7, 8, 9. Then you have 16 and 27, if the pattern continues; the next number is 38.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Here, the first term is .48 and the common ratio is 1/100 (since each new 48 is 1/100 th of the previous 48). a
Use the formula s = sum of geometric series = -----------
1 - r
0.48 48
which in this case is s = --------------- = ------------ = 48/99 = 16/33
1 - 1/100 100 - 1
Check this result by finding 16/33 on a calculator. Is the result equal to 0.484848484848.... ? Yes
b) Here we have the bar over the 8 only. 0.48 with the bar over the 8 is equivalent to 0.4888888888 ...
0.08
or 0.4 + 0.0888888888 ... or 0.4 + ------------
1 - 1/10
0.08 8
and this simplifies to 0.4 + ------------ = 0.4 + ---------
9/10 90
Evaluating this last result on a calculator results in 0.488888888 ...
c) 0.48 expressed as a fraction is 48/100 = 12/25
