The red marbles are 3/10 of the total.

The blue ones are 5/10 of the total.

The green ones are 2/10 of the total.

Of these, 5/10=1/2=(1×4)/(2×4)=4/8

Therefore, five tenths is equivalent to four eighths.

mart [117]

Answer:

Conjecture: For every number x, the result of the is 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

First Number: 8

Multiply by 88: 88 * 8 = 704

Add 88: 704 + 88 = 792

Divide by 44: 792/44 = 18

Subtract 2: 18 - 2 = 16

Second: 10

Multiply by 88: 88 * 10 = 880

Add 88: 880+88=968

Divide by 44: 968/44=22

Subtract 2: 22-2=20

Third: 5

Multiply by 88: 88*5 = 440

Add 88: 440+88=528

Divide by 44: 528/44=12

Subtract 2: 12-2=10

Fourth: 2

Multiply by 88: 88*2=176

Add 88: 176+88=264

Divide by 44: 264/44=6

Subtract 2: 6-2=4

On a general terms:

Let the number be x.

Multiply by 88: 88x

Add 88: 88x + 88

Divide by 44: \frac{88x + 88}{44} = \frac{88x}{44} + \frac{88}{44} = 2x+2

Subtract 2: 2x + 2 - 2 = 2x

Notice that for every input x, the result is 2x

What multiples to 42 and adds to -2
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 42

x+y = - 2                   Substitute into the top equation

y = -2 - x                   Put in for y

x(-2 - x) = 42             Remove the brackets

-2x - x^2 = 42           Subtract 42 from both sides.

-2x - x^2 - 42 = 0      Put in the more normal order.

-x^2 - 2x - 42 = 0      Multiply by -1

x^2 + 2x + 42 = 0

This cannot be factored. It gives complex roots as it is written. I will give you the answer but I kind of doubt the question is correct.

x1 = - 1 + 6.40i

x2 = -1 - 6.40i

Leave a comment if you have a correction.
