Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Devaughn = 2x

Sydney = x

x + 2x = 78

3x = 78

x = 78 / 3

x = 26

Hope that helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say Devaughn age = d and Sydney age = s

Therefore,

d = 2s

and s + d = 78

Well, we can use substitution for d.

s + (2s) = 78

3s = 78

s = 26

Missing part of the question

Determine the number of handshakes, i, that will occur for each number of people, n, in a particular room. (people)

Answer:

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}(n - 1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

For 5 people

$\begin{array}{cc}{People} & {Handshakes} & {5} & {4} & {4} & {3} & {3} & {2} & {2} & {1} & {1} & {0} &{Total} & {10} \ \end{array}$

Using the given instance of 5 people, the number of handshakes can be represented as:

$(n - 1) + (n - 2) + (n - 3) + ........ + 3 + 2 + 1 + 0$

The above sequence is an arithmetic sequence and the total number of handshakes is the sum of n terms of the sequence.

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}{(T_1 + T_n})$

Where

$T_1 = n - 1$ --- The first term

$T_n = 0$ --- The last term

So:

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}(n - 1 + 0)$

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}(n - 1)$

Select the correct location in the expression.

kogti [31]

Answer:

Correct term:60

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$\frac{4x^4-6x^3+6x+3}{x-3}$

The quotient of this expression is given by

$4x^3+6x^2+18x+78+\frac{183}{x-3}$

We have to find the term in this expression which contains an error.

$\frac{4x^4-6x^3+6x+3}{x-3}$

The quotient of this expression is given by

$=4x^3+6x^2+18x+60$

$Dividend=Divisor\times quotient+ remainder$

Using the formula

$4x^4-6x^3+6x+3=(x-3)(4x^3+6x^2+18x+60)+\frac{183}{x-3}$

We can see that in the given expression there is 60 in place of 78.

The error in the expression of quotient is 78.

Correct term is 60.

Could you explain why the answer 125 was supposed to be negative while my answer 81 was correct?

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Realize what (-5)^3 means

(-5)(-5)(-5)

25(-5)

-125

meanwhile

(-9)^2 is

(-9)(-9)

Basically a negative times a negative is always positive, but when a negative number is cubed (or raised to any odd exponent for that matter) the product will be negative.
