100 ---> 96 is -4

96 ---> 104 is +8

104 ---> 88 is -16

88 ---> 120 is +32

120 ---> 56 is -64  

So first we go down by 4, then up by 8, then down 16, then up 32, then finally down 64.  

The pattern of numbers is: -4, +8, -16, +32, -64  

Notice it's the powers of 2:  

2^2 = 4

2^3 = 8

2^4 = 16

2^5 = 32

2^6 = 64

each term doubles. Also each term alternates in sign. One is positive, then the next is negative and so on.  

The last difference is -64, which doubles to -128. Change the sign to positive to get +128  

Add 128 to the last term of 56 to get

128+56 = 184  

Therefore, the final answer is 184

Lee is thinking of two Numbers,the product is 18. the quotient is 2
defon
X, y - the numbers

The product is 18.
xy=18

The quotient is 2.
\frac{x}{y}=2 \ \ \ |\times y \\
x=2y

Substitute 2y for x in the 1st equation:
2y \times y=18 \\
2y^2=18 \ \ \ |\div 2 \\
y^2=9 \\
y=\pm \sqrt{9} \\
y=3 \ \lor \ y=-3 \\ \\
x=2y \\
x=2 \times 3 \ \lor \ x=2 \times (-3) \\
x=6 \ \lor \ x=-6 \\ \\
(x,y)=(6,3) \hbox{ or } (x,y)=(-6,-3)

The numbers are 6 and 3 or -6 and -3.

What is -1 7/8 + -2 1/4? Please explain why and a step by step :).
olya-2409 [2.1K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  -4 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Many people find it easier to factor out -1, then do the addition. The fractions need a common denominator before they can be added. A suitable denominator that is a multiple of both 4 and 8 is 8.

The fraction 1/4 = (1/4)(2/2) = (1·2)/(4·2) = 2/8.

__

So, the problem can be rewritten as ...

  -(1 7/8 +2 2/8)

  = -((1+2) +(7/8 +2/8))

  = -(3 +9/8)

The fraction 9/8 is an improper fraction equal to 8/8 +1/8 = 1 1/8. Then the sum is ...

  -(3 +1 1/8) = -4 1/8

Evaluate the expression when m = 63 and n = 45
sesenic [268]

The value of the given expression (3m - n)² + 4m when m = 63 and n = 45 is equal to 20,916.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

An expression can be defined as a mathematical equation which is used to show the relationship existing between two or more variables and numerical quantities.

<u>Given the following variables:</u>

  • m = 63.
  • n = 45.

Substituting the given variables into the given expression, we have;

Expression = (3m - n)² + 4m.

Expression = (3(63) - 45)² + 4(45).

Expression = (189 - 45)² + 180

Expression = 144² + 180

Expression = 20,736 + 180

Expression = 20,916.
