Answer:

  -12, -21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the first number. Then the second is x-9. The other relation is ...

  4x = 2(x-9) -6

  2x = -24 . . . . . subtract 2x, simplify

  x = -12

  x-9 = -21

The first number is -12; the second number is -21.

You are given the equation 27bx7•cx8•7xd=455x27. If b and c are both integers greater than 1 and b less than cb
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The question is not so clear and complete

Step-by-step explanation:

But for questions like this, since the equation has been given, what is expected is for us to make comparison, compare the RHS with the LHS or by method of comparing coefficients.

We follow the stated conditions since we are told that b and c are both integers which are greater than 1 and b is less than the product of cb. from these conditions, we can compare and get the values of b , c and d.

Another approach is to assume values, make assumptions with the stated conditions, however, our assumptions must be valid and correct if we substitute the assumed values of b, c and d in the equation, it must arrive at the same answer for the RHS. i.e LHS = RHS

Roxanne has 1/2 as many beads as Sherrie. The number of beads Sherrie has is 4/5 that of Ting Ting's. Ting Ting has 165 beads. H
gregori [183]
165 Ting Ting's beads* (4 Sherrie's beads/ 5 Ting Ting's beads)= 132 Sherrie's beads.
132 Sherrie's beads* (1 Roxanne's bead/ 2 Sherrie's beads)= 66 Roxanne's beads.
Now that we know the number of beads Roxanne and Ting Ting have, let's subtract:
165 beads- 66 beads= 99 beads.
Hope this would help :))
