To answer, it is assumed that e here is the Euler number which is equal to 2.718. Substitute this value to the e of the second equation to get the value of b.
b = 0.5(2.718^2) = 3.6945
Then, we substitute this value to the first equation to get the value of a.
a = 4(3.6945^2) = 54.498
Thus, the answer is approximately equal to 54.5.
How do you evaluate: To evaluate an algebraic expression, you have to substitute a number for each variable and perform the arithmetic operations. In the example above, the variable x is equal to 6 since 6 + 6 = 12. If we know the value of our variables, we can replace the variables with their values and then evaluate the expression.
X = number of singles matches
y = number of doubles mnathes
so we have the equation x + y = 13.......(1)
also
2x + 4y = 38 ...........(2)
(1) and (2) are the required equations
b) Find how many maches are in progress by solivng the above equations:-
x + y = 13 multiply this by -2:-
-2x - 2y = -26
2x + 4y = 38 Adding to removes the terms in x:-
2y = 12
y = 6
so x = 13-6 = 7
So the answer is 6 double matches and 7 singles are in progress.
Sally did some counting look at her work explain why you think sally counted this way 177,178,179,180,190,200,220,211,212,213,21

<span>The first and last four numbers each have a difference of one between them.
The fifth number has a difference of 10 between it and the previous number.
The middle number has a difference of 20 between itself and the two numbers that surround it.
Counting in this way could have been a result of a lot of things to count, and spot checking along the way (when the numbers have a difference of 1).</span>
