Answer:

  • x = 5, y = 7, z = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let the numbers be x, y and z</u>

  • x + y + z = 24
  • 2y = z + 2
  • z = x + y

<u>Solving by substitution:</u>

  • x + y + z = z + z = 24
  • 2z = 24
  • z = 12

  • 2y = z + 2
  • 2y = 12 + 2
  • 2y = 14
  • y = 7

  • z = x + y
  • x = z - y
  • x = 12 - 7 = 5

<u>The answer:</u>

  • x = 5, y = 7, z = 12

Explain how the Quotient of Powers Property was used to simplify this expression.
Simora [160]

Answer:

The answer is option 2, by simplifying 9 to 3² to make both powers base 3 and subtracting the exponents.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to make the expressions into the same base :

\frac{ {3}^{4} }{9}  =  \frac{ {3}^{4} }{ {3}^{2} }

Next, you have to apply Indices Law :

{a}^{m}  \div  {a}^{n} \: ⇒ \: {a}^{m - n}

{3}^{4}  \div  {3}^{2}

=  {3}^{4 - 2}

=  {3}^{2}

a standard six sided die. Janice rolled either a 2 or a 5 on the last 6 rolls of the die. What is the probability of Janice roll
Igoryamba

We have that   the probability of Janice rolling a 2 or 5 on her 7th toss of the dice is

\frac{1}{3}^7.

From the question we are told that

Janice rolled either a 2 or a 5 on the last 6 rolls of the die

Janice rolling a 2 or 5 on her 7th toss of the dice

P(2/ 5)=1/6+1/6\\\\P(2/ 5)=2/6\\\\P(2/ 5)=1/3.

Where

P(2/5 ) =(1/3)^6.

Janice roll the standard die 7th time the probability of getting 2 or 5 is

P(2/5 ) =\frac{1}{3}^7.
