Answer:

Hardy has 470 more tennis balls than Kerns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total number of tennis balls = 940

Let,

x represents the number of tennis balls Hardy has.

y represents the number of tennis balls Kerns has.

According to given statement,

x+y=940     Eqn 1

x = 3y         Eqn 2

Putting x = 3y in Eqn 1

3y+y=940

4y=940

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{940}{4}\\y=235

Putting y=235 in Eqn 2

x = 3(235)

x = 705

Difference = Hardy's tennis balls - Kerns' tennis balls

Difference = 705 - 235 = 470

Hence,

Hardy has 470 more tennis balls than Kerns.

Which of these choices show a pair of equivalent expressions? A.7^5/7 and (√ 7)^5 B.6^7/2 and (√ 6)^7 C.(4√ 81)^7 and 81^7/4 D.5

We will use the following law of indices (or 'index law') to check each pair of expression

x^{ \frac{m}{n}} = ( \sqrt[n]{x} )^{m}

With fractional power, the denominator is the root and the numerator is the power of the term. When the denominator is 2, we usually only write the normal square symbol (√). Denominator other than 2, we usually write the value of the root, for example, the cubic root ∛

Option A - Incorrect
7^{ \frac{5}{7}} should equal to ( \sqrt[7]{7} )^{5}

Option B - Correct
6^{ \frac{7}{2} } does equal to ( \sqrt{6}) ^{7}

Option C - Incorrect
4( \sqrt{81} )^{7} should equal to (4)( 81^{ \frac{7}{2} } )

Option D - Incorrect
5^{ \frac{2}{3} } should equal to ( \sqrt[3]{5} )^{2}

What steps does Emory need to solve the equation x+7=3x+(-5)
swat32

Answer:

First you need to find what x is equal to.

Step-by-step explanation:

 Since 3x-5 is what you need to find divide 3 by 3x to get x alone and do the same for -5/ 3 which -1.6666667, and you can estimate it to be -1.67 so x is about -1.67.
