Answer:

Luke has 13 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

t = number of marbles Tom has

l = number of marbles Luke has

t = 2l

t+l = 39

Substitute t = 2l into the second equation

2l + l = 39

Combine like terms

3l = 39

Divide by 3

3l /3 = 39/3

l = 13

Luke has 13 marbles

Tom has 2 * 13 = 26 marbles

If the sum (3x ^ 2 - 2x + 12) + (x ^ 2 + 8x - 2) is multiplied by 2x ^ 2 what is the result written in standard form ?

alexandr402 [8]

(3x^2 - 2x + 12) + (x^2 + 8x -2)
= (4x^2+6x+10)(2x^2)
= 4x^2(2x^2)+6x(2x^2)+10(2x^2)
= 8x^4 + 12x^3 + 20x^2

Pls help Describe how to find the product of the two terms 3x^2y^5 and 4x^3y^7

zvonat [6]

Answer:

12 x^5y^12

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2y^5 * 4x^3y^7

Multiply the constants

3*4 = 12

Multiply the x terms

x^2 * x^3

We know a^b* a^c = a^(b+c)

x^(2+3) = x^5

Multiply the y terms

y^6 * y^7 = y&(5+7) = y^12

Put them back together

12 x^5y^12

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y= -1/2x+1/4

stich3 [128]

For this case we have an equation of a line of the form:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis

We have the equation:

$y = - \frac {1} {2} x + \frac {1} {4}$

So, we have:

$m = - \frac {1} {2}\\b = \frac {1} {4}$

Answer:

The slope is $- \frac {1} {2}$
