Answer:

m=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute -3: -3m+6=21

subtract 6 from both sides: -3m=15

divide by negative three: m=-5

Answer:

m = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(m-2)=21

-3m + 6 = 21

-3m = 15

m = --------

         -3

m = -5

One ordered pair $(a,b)$ satisfies the two equations $ab^4 = 12$ and $a^5 b^5 = 7776$. what is the value of $a$ in this ordered
LenaWriter [7]
This is the concept of algebra, given that ab^4=12 and a^5b^5=7776, the value if a will be found as follows:
ab^4=12
a=12/b^4
also;
a^5=7776/b^5
thus;
a=(7776/b^5)^(1/5)
a=6/b
thus the value of a will be:
6/b=12/b^4
dividing both sides by b we get:
6=12/b^3
multiplying both sides by b^3 we get
6b^3=12
b^3=2
hence;
b=2^(1/3)

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4 | 1 = 41, that means that when you're looking at the number, you basically see it without the "|". If you see it that way, the smallest number would be 03.

two sides of a parallelogram meet at an angle of 50 degrees. If the length of one side is 3 meters and the length of the other s
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The longer diagonal has a length of 7.3 meters.

The angles are 31.65° and 18.35°

Step-by-step explanation:

If one angle of the parallelogram is 50°, another angle is also 50° and the other two angles are the supplement of this angle. so the other three angles are:

50°, 130° and 130°.

The longer diagonal will be the one opposite to the bigger angle (130°), and this diagonal divides the parallelogram in two triangles.

Using the law of cosines in one of these two triangles, we have:

diagonal^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab*cos(130\°)

diagonal^2 = 3^2 + 5^2 - 2*3*5*(-0.6428)

diagonal^2 = 53.284

diagonal = 7.3\ meters

So the longer diagonal has a length of 7.3 meters.

To find the angles that this diagonal forms with the sides, we can use the law of sines:

a / sin(A) = b/sin(B)

5 / sin(A) = diagonal / sin(130)

sin(A) = 5 * sin(130) / 7.3

sin(A) = 0.5247

A = 31.65\°

The other angle is B = 50 - 31.65 = 18.35°

Please Fraction help & explain
Anika [276]

Answer:

5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert both fractions into improper fractions:

- To convert these fractions into an improper fraction you need to multiple the denominator with the mixed numeral/whole number. Then add that amount to the numerator. Do this for both fractions. This is what it should look like.

38/6 - 23/6.

The you subtract it

-       38/6 - 23/6 = 15/6

15/6 is your answer

If you want to simplify it the fraction it will be :

- 5/2

8. Number of boys in a class is twice the number of girls. 20% of the girls are brunettes and of the rest – half are blondes: Ma
slega [8]

Answer:

<em>20 boys </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

b = 2g

100% - 20% = 80%

80% ÷ 2 = 40% = 0.4

0.4g = 4 ⇒ g = 4 ÷ 0.4 = 10

b = 2 × 10 = 20

There are 10girls and <em>20 boys</em> study in the class.
