The number of red marbles in the bag is 19 and the number of blue marbles is 8.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let R be the number of red marbles
Let B be the number of blue marbles
According to the question,
R + B = 27 (Total number of marbles is 27
) -1
R = 3B - 5 (Number of red marbles is 5 less than 3 times the number of blue marbles
)
Substitute the right half of the second equation for R in the first equation
3B - 5 + B = 27
Add 5 to each side and combine the Bs
4B = 32
Divide both sides by 4
B = 8
Use this value of B in the first equation
R + 8 = 27
R = 19
Therefore, number of red marbles in the bag is 19 and the number of blue marbles is 8.
The answer is 12/5 or 2.4
The two consecutive integers would be 10 and 12. Not 100% sure though.
Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation: It is raised to the third power, therefore having a degree of 3.
Step 1) Divide 6 and 4 (the last 2 numbers) and bring everything else down
<em>6x^24x+2x+4</em>
Step 2) Place in parentheses
<em>(6x^24x)+(2x+4)</em>
Step 3) Figure out what you can take out of each parentheses.
**In the first one, you can take out 6x because both numbers have x and 6 is the largest number 6 and 24 can go into.**
**In the second one, you can only take out 2 because 2 is the largest number that goes into 2 and 4.**
Step 4) You will know you did it correctly when the parentheses match up
<em>6x(x+4) + 2(x+4)</em> <<< this is how it should look
Answer: <em>(6x+2)(x+4)</em>
