2x^2 + ax = x(2x+ 7)
2x^2 + ax = 2x^2 + 7x
Subtract 2x^2 from both sides
ax = 7x
a = 7

What is the answer to (6+4)tothe3power-1tothe8power

Hey there!

$\huge\boxed{(6 + 4)^3 - 1^8}$

$\huge\boxed{= 10^3 - 1^8}$

$\huge\boxed{10^3}$

$\huge\boxed{= 10\times10\times10}$

$\huge\boxed{= 100\times10 }$

$\huge\boxed{= 1,000}$

$\huge\boxed{1^{8}}$

$\huge\boxed{= 1\times1\times1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1}$

$\huge\boxed{= 1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1}$

$\huge\boxed{= 1\times1}$

$\huge\boxed{= 1}$

$\huge\boxed{1,000 - 1}$

$\huge\boxed{= 999}$

$\huge\text{Answer: \textsf{999}}$

The ratio of girls to boys in 6th grade is 3:4. If there are 182 6th graders, how many are girls

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

78 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is 3:4, so that means the total number of 182 can be divided into 7 parts. 182 divided by 7 is 26, so each part is 26. The ratio of girls is 3, so 3 times 26 is 78. You can check this by putting (3*26)/(4*26) simplifies to 78/104 to 3/4 which is the right ratio
