Answer:

<em>x = 12 and y = 16</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following lengths;

NO = x + 2y,

MO = 3x,

PQ = 6x + 4, and

OQ = 2y + 4.

The following postulates are true;

MN = PQ

Since MO + ON = MN

MN = 3x + x+2y

MN = 4x + 2y

Recall that PQ = 6x+4

Equating both expressions;

4x + 2y=  6x+4

Collect like terms;

4x-6x + 2y = 4

-2x + 2y = 4

x - y = -4 ...... 1

Also MO = OQ

3x =  2y + 4

3x-2y= 4 ....2

from 1; x = -4 + y

Substitute into 2:

3x-2y= 4

3(-4+y)-2y = 4

-12+3y-2y = 4

-12+y = 4

y = 4 + 12

y = 16

Since x = -4+y

x = -4 + 16

x = 12

<em>Hence x = 12 and y = 16</em>

Could anyone explain to me about adding and subtracting exponents. I don’t understand these equations with their exponents!
meriva

Answer:

whenever you're multiplying terms that have exponents you multiply the coefficients and add their exponents:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the answer to your first question should be:

30a²b - 30ab²

Your second answer is good

whenever you're multiplying terms that have exponents you multiply the coefficients and add their exponents:

for example, 6a²b³c x 2abc = 6(2)(a²)(a)(b³)(b)(c)(c)

= 12a³b⁴c²

susan designed a circular pool with a diameter of 24 meters. what is the area of the bottom of the pool?
Gennadij [26K]
Diameter = 24 m

radius = diameter/2 = 24 m / 2 = 12 m

area = pi * r^2 = 3.14 * (12 m)^2 = 3.14 * 144 m^2 = 452.16 m^2

There are 5/6 jugs of water and 3/10 of the water are for the other runners. How many jugs of water is there
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

8/15 left

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We want to perform subtraction operation on fractions

Total number of water= 5/6

we are told that 3/10 are for other runners

Hence the number of water left is

=5/6-3/10

=50-18/60

=32/60

=8/15

Hence there are 8/15 left

Matthew is making a sequence in which -3 is added to each successive term. The 6th term in his sequence is -1. What is the 1st t
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The first term is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for this kind of sequence (arithmetic) is a(n) = a(1) + (n-1)c, where c is the common difference.  Here, we have a(6) = -1 = a(1) + (6-1)(-3), or -1 +15 = a(1).  The first term is 14.
