Answer: x+x^2+x^3+x^4

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given,

Number of wives = x

Number of sacks = x (\text{Number of wives} )= x\times x = x^2

Number of cats = x(\text{Number of sack})= x \times x^2=x^3

Number of kits = x(\text{Number of cats} )=x\times x^3=x^4

Now , the total number of kits, cats, sacks, and wives going to St. Ives = x+x^2+x^3+x^4

Hence, the required ex[pression:  x+x^2+x^3+x^4

Why does it take 3 copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as 1 copy of 1/2?
antiseptic1488 [7]
You can solve this by putting the number of copies in the top part of the fraction. If you replace the one in the top part of 1/6 with 3, you get the fraction 3/6. Half of six is three and half of two is one, so both fractions are equal. You can test this be dividing the 3 in the top by 3 and the 6 in the bottom by three. Your result will be 1/2. Although there are three times ad many copies, each copy is three times as small, so it balances out.

What is the relationship between partitions and number series
vovangra [49]
A sum of positive natural numbers adding up to n is called a partition of n. For instance, 1+2+4 is a partition of 7. As none of the summands 1, 2, 4 are equal, this is called a partition into unequal parts. Does this help? Because this is all I know :(

Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Perpendicular to the line 7x - 3y = 68; containing the point (8, -8)
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

y=\dfrac{-3}{7}x-\dfrac{32}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A line 7x - 3y = 68 and containing the point (8, -8).

The equation can be written as :

-3y=68-7x\\\\y=\dfrac{68}{-3}+\dfrac{7x}{3}\\\\y=\dfrac{7x}{3}+(\dfrac{-68}{3})

The slope is :7/3

Line is perpendicular so use m = –3/7

-8=(-\dfrac{3}{7})\times 8+b\\\\-8+\dfrac{3}{7}\times 8=b\\\\b=\dfrac{-32}{7}

So, required equation is :

y=\dfrac{-3}{7}x-\dfrac{32}{7}

adoni [48]
Answer is 6-4x

 <span>1/4 evaluates to 1/4
</span>
<span>Multiply x and 16
</span>
<span>Multiply x and 1

after you have the answer it should come out to  </span>24-16x then multiply 1/4 * 24-16x

1/4 *24=6


<span>1/4*(24-16*x) evaluates to 6-4x</span>
