Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we say s is the cost per pound of strawberry and b is banana.

For Annie we have 9s + 10b = 103.

For Rob we have 9s + 9b = 99.

If you notice the only thing that changes on the left hand sides is a single b. This causes a change of 4 on the right hand side. From this we can see that b = 4. Substituting b=4 in Annie's line we get 9s + 40 = 103 so 9s = 63 so s = 7.

Strawberry costs $7 per pound and banana costs $4 per pound

Answer:

equation 1

y = -2x

equation 2

y = x-3

Solution to both

(1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get the equations of both lines

General form is;

y = mx + c

where m is slope and c is the y-intercept

Table 1

since we have a point 0,0; the y-intercept here is zero

Let us get the slope. We can do this by selecting any two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2-10)/(-1+5) = -8/4 = -2

So the equation of the first line is;

y = -2x

Table 2

we get the slope

m = (4+2)/(7-1) = 6/6 = 1

The partial equation is;

y = x + c

To get c, we select any two point and substitute

4 = 7 + c

c = 4-7

c = -3

So the equation is;

y = x-3

To get the solution to both systems, we equate the y

-2x = x - 3

-2x-x = -3

-3x = -3

x = -3/-3

x = 1

To get y, we substitute;

recall; y = -2x

y = -2(1)

y = -2

Solution to the system is;

(1,-2)

Equivalent answers for 64 to the power of 2/3
madreJ [45]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Dealing with a fraction exponent on hand can be converted by using the fractional exponents rule where the fraction exponent is converted to something like this:

64^\frac{2}{3} = \sqrt[3]{64^{2}}\\

As you can see, the denominator of the fractional exponent is now the index of the radical. Here is a guide to know what goes where.

64^\frac{x}{y} = \sqrt[y]{64^{x}}

Both the original problem (64^2/3) and the converted formula can be put into a calculator.

<u>Simplify (if you want to)</u>

<u />\sqrt[3]{64^{2}}\\\sqrt[3]{4096}\\16<u />

<u />

64 to the power of 2/3 is 16.
