Answer:
at least 25
Step-by-step explanation:
as not everybody answered the suvey, more people probable purchased only candy bars. so ar least 25.
She forgot about the final x at the end, because the first expression is 3x+6+x, and the second one is 3(x+2). The second one expands to 3x+6, but it doesn't have the final term at the end.
Also, 3 is not really a factor of x (technically it could be because x in unknown, but in terms of like terms and stuff it isn't) so you can't take a 3 out of x (unless you leave it as 1/3x I guess).
Anyway, yeah she forgot about the final x and therefore the factor she took out is incorrect anyway. She also could've simplified the first expression so that it became 4x + 6
Answer:
12^4 = 20736
Step-by-step explanation:
The property of exponents used to simplify : 12^8/12^4
The division property :
a^x / a^y = a^(x - y)
Therefore ;
12^8/12^4
12^8 / 12^4 = 12^(8 - 4) = 12^4 = 20,736
