Base: The term, b, that is being multiplied n times.
For example 3 to the third power. The 3 is the base. Another x to the fifth power. X is the base
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. For example, if a 12-ounce can of corn costs 69¢, the rate is 69¢ for 12 ounces. When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.
1 to 45 is 45
90 divided by 2 is 45
135 divided by 4 is 45
180 divided by 4 is 45
all of them have the same relationship and a proportional to each other
Let Bea = x
Therefore Andrew = x + 2
Chris = x - 3
Andrew * Chris = 66
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 66 Remove the brackets.
x^2 + 2x - 3x - 6 = 66
x^2 - x - 6 = 66 Subtract 66 from both sides.
x^2 - x - 72 = 0
(x - 9)(x + 8) = 0
Find the possible values of Bea's age
x - 9 = 0
x = 9 That value works. She can be plus 9 years old.
x + 8 = 0
x = - 8. There's no way she can be - 8 years old
So Bea is 9.
