Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation: hope this helps!!
Answer:
-9n^6
Step-by-step explanation:
(−9n^3)(n^3)
=(−9) * n^3 * n^3
=−9 * n^6
=−9n^6
Let t and p represent the numbers of turtles and pelicans, respectively.
... 2p + 4t = 114 . . . . . . . the number of legs is 114
... p + t = 34 . . . . . . . . . the number of animals is 34
Divide the first equation by 2 and subtract the second.
... (2p +4t)/2 - (p +t) = (114)/2 - 34
... t = 23 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
Then p = 34 - t = 11
There are 11 pelicans and 23 turtles.

You can get to the same answer by considering the number of legs you would have if all the animals were pelicans. That would be 34*2 = 68. The is 46 fewer legs than there actually are. Each turtle that replaces one of those 34 pelicans adds 2 legs to the total, so to add 46 legs, we must replace 46/2 = 23 pelicans with turtles. That is, there are 23 turtles and 11 pelicans.
The least common multiple (LCM) of a set of numbers is the lowest value that all of the numbers can be divided by and have a result of a whole number.
In this case, the least common multiple is 21 because 21/7=3 and 21/21=1.
