Answer:
$9$
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again such that the calculator displays final number as $243$.
To find: number that Thea originally entered
Solution:
The final number is $243$.
As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,
the number before $243$ must be $324$.
As previously the number was squared, so the number before $324$ must be $18$.
As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,
the number before $18$ must be $81$
As previously the number was squared, so the number before $81$ must be $9$.
Answer:
n = 5.2.
Step-by-step explanation:
-20.8 = -4n
We divide both sides of the equation by -4:
-20.8 / -4 = -4n/-4
5.2 = n (answer).
Answer:
360 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
When the second car catches up with the first car they will have travelled the same distance which we call x miles.
Speed = distance / time
For first car 60 = x / t where t = time taken
giving x = 60t
for second car 90 = x / (t - 2)
giving x = 90t - 180
So equating these 2 equations
60t = 90t - 180
30t = 180
t = 6 hours
So x the distance = 60t = 360 miles answer
