Let's call the 'secret number' <em>x</em>.
A quotient is basically a Dividend/Divisor. If the Divisor is 4, we need to find the dividend, which is <em>x</em>.
<em />Therefore:
<em>x/4=9
</em><em />We need to isolate the variable by the multiplication property of equality.
<em>x=36</em>.
As a result, the "secret number" is 36
Hey there!
When multiplying variables with the same degree, be sure to add the two degrees being multiplied.
For example;
x * x; both of these terms have the degree of "1" as they are "x^1". Since we are multiplying them, we need to add their degrees.
x^1 * x^1 = x^2
Now that we've broken down what we are doing, let's apply this new knowledge to your problem.
(x^3)(x^-2); Remember to just add the degrees; -2 + 3 = 1
This means our product is x^1, or just x.
I hope this helps!
Answer: okay so first solve for x which is going to be x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The 4th term of the linear sequence = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First term, a = -9
Common difference, d = -5 - (-9)
= -5 + 9
= 4
d = 4
The 4th term of the linear sequence = a + (n - 1)d
where,
n = 4
a + (n - 1)d
= -9 + (4 - 1)4
= -9 + (3)4
= -9 + 12
= 3
The 4th term of the linear sequence = 3
Answer:
5 pigs
Step-by-step explanation:
A farmhouse shelters 16 animals, some are pigs, and some are ducks. Altogether there are 42 legs. How many pigs are there?
Let us represent:
Number of pigs = x
Number of ducks = y
Our system of equations is given as:
A farmhouse shelters 16 animals, some are pigs, and some are ducks.
x + y = 16...... Equation 1
x = 16 - y
Altogether there are 42 legs.
Ducks have 2 legs(feet) , pigs have 4 legs,
4x + 2y = 42..... Equation 2
We substitute
16 - y for x in Equation 2
Hence:
4(16 - y) + 2y = 42
64 - 4y + 2y = 42
Collect like terms
- 4y + 2y = 42 - 64
-2y =- 22
y = -22/-2
y = 11 ducks
Solving for x.
x = 16 - y
x = 16 - 11
x = 5 pigs
Therefore, we have 5 pigs
