Given:
The expression is .
To find:
The position of parentheses inserted in the expression to get the value 19
Step-by-step explanation:
We have,
Now,
There are more ways to apply the parenthesis, but we do not get 19.
And many more possibilities.
Therefore, the expression after inserting the parentheses is .
Its 1.33 because you round up if its 5 or greater
The answer is -18. Hope this helps.
I'm assuming that the 1/3 is an exponent.
If so, then
Which is the cube root of 2. Raising any value to the 1/3 power is the same as taking the cube root.
Please see below solution:
Let x = number of books that Bryan reads2x for amanda = Amanda 3x - 4 for Colin Amanda = 5/8(Bryan + Colin)2x = 5/8(x+3x-4)2x = 5/8(4x-4)
[16x = 5(4x-4)]816x = 20x - 20Subtract 20x from each side-4x =-20-4x/-4= -20/-4 divide -4 to eliminate the -4 in -4xx = 5
Therefore:
Bryan reads 5 books a month.
Since Amanda reads twice as many books a Bryan read so Amanda 10 books a month.
And Colin 11 books a month. 3(5) - 4 = 11
