Let Mike be m and Adam be m+2. Then:
m²+28=(m+2)²
m²+28=m²+4m+4
4m=24
m=6
Mike is 6; Adam is 8

Answer:

The sum of Adam´s and Mike´s age is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Adam is two years older than mike y we called Adam´s age as "x" and Mike´s age as "y", we have: x = y + 2.

If square of Adam´s Age is 28 greater than the square of mike´s age ⇒

x² = y² + 28.

Now we have to consider both equation and replace the first in the second one.

⇒ x² = y² + 28, we replace with x= y + 2. ⇒ (y + 2)² = y² + 28

⇒ y² + 4x + 4 = y² + 28 ⇒ y² + 4x + 4 - y² - 28 = 0 ⇒ 4y - 24 = 0

⇒ 4y = 24 ⇒ y = 24/4 ⇒ y = 6. Mike´s age is 6 years.

With the value of "y" we return to first equation and obtain the value of "x".

⇒ x = y + 2 ⇒ x = 6 + 2 ⇒ x= 8. Adam´s age is 8 years.

Summarizing Adam is 8 years old and Mike 6 years old. So the sum of both ages is 14 years.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST ASAPP!!!!!
Mademuasel [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying rules of exponents to solve the given problems;

    4^3 x 4^5 =

    5^8 ÷ 5^-2 =

     (6^3 ) ^ 4 =

For these problems, the applicable rules of exponents are;

      aᵇ x aⁿ  = aᵇ⁺ⁿ

      aᵇ  ÷ aⁿ = aᵇ⁻ⁿ

       (aᵇ)ˣ  = aᵇˣ

For the first problem; 4³ x 4⁵

     aᵇ x aⁿ  = aᵇ⁺ⁿ

      4³ x 4⁵  = 4³⁺⁵   = 4⁸

   Second problem: aᵇ  ÷ aⁿ = aᵇ⁻ⁿ

      5⁸ ÷ 5⁻²  = 5⁸⁻⁽⁻²⁾  = 5⁸⁺²  = 5¹⁰

    Third problem;  (aᵇ)ˣ  = aᵇˣ

       (6³)⁴  = 6³ˣ⁴  = 6¹²

A marine aquarium has a small tank and a large tank, each containing only red and blue fish. In each tank, the ratio of red fish
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Ratio of blue fish in the small tank to the red fish in large tank is 10 : 6279

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of red fish and blue fish in the large tank are x and y respectively.

Similarly ratio of red fish and blue fish in the small tank are x' and y' respectively.

Since in each tank ratio of the red fish to blue fish is 333 : 444

That means x : y = 333 : 444

Or \frac{x}{y}=\frac{333}{444}

⇒ \frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{4}

⇒ y = \frac{4x}{3} --------(1)

Similarly x' : y' = 333 : 444

⇒ \frac{x'}{y'}=\frac{333}{444}

⇒ \frac{x'}{y'}=\frac{3}{4}

⇒ x' = \frac{3y'}{4} ------(2)

Ratio of the fish in large tank to the fish in small tank is 464646 : 555

So (x + y) : (x' + y') = 464646 : 555

\frac{x+y}{x'+y'}=\frac{464646}{555}

Now we replace the values of x and y' from equation (1) and equation (2)

\frac{(x+\frac{4x}{3})}{(\frac{3y'}{4}+y')}=\frac{464646}{555}

\frac{\frac{7x}{3}}{\frac{7y'}{4}}=\frac{464646}{555}

\frac{4}{3}\times \frac{x}{y'}=\frac{464646}{555}

\frac{x}{y'}=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{464646}{555}

\frac{x}{y'}=\frac{232323}{370}

\frac{y'}{x}=\frac{370}{232323}

\frac{y'}{x}=\frac{10}{6279}

Therefore, ratio of blue fish in the small tank to the red fish in large tank is 10 : 6279
