Answer:
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
x = Number of gold coins in a chest
1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain
1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally
3 = Number of gold coins left
2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?
Let's write the following equation to solve for x:
1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x
2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)
4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)
x = 12
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
If the center of town is the origin then 4 blocks west and 1 block south would be 4 blocks to the left and 1 block down or (-4, -1) house 3 block east and 2 blocks north would be 3 blocks to the right and 2 blocks up or (3, 2) use the distance formula to find the distance between two points. That's all I know! hope this helps!~ just remember to use the distance formula to find the distance between two points.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form is written in the order of the exponent <em>on</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>variable</em> from highest to lowest.
#1 exponents go 2, 1 , then zero. So, this is standard form.
#2 exponents go 2 then zero, so this is standard form.
#3 exponents go 1 then 2 then zero, so this is <em><u>not</u></em> in standard form.
#4 exponents go 3 to 2 to 1, so this is still in standard form.
hope this helps!
Answer:
The fourth term of the sequence B(4) =-8
The sequence is 1,-2,4,-8...
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>
Given that the sequence
B(n) = 1(-2)ⁿ⁻¹
Put n=1
B(1) = 1(-2)¹⁻¹ = 2⁰ =1
Put n=2
B(2) = 1(-2)²⁻¹ = (-2)¹ =-2
Put n=3
B(3) =1(-2)³⁻¹ = (-2)² =4
Put n=4
B(4) = 1(-2)⁴⁻¹ =(-2)³ =-8
The sequence
1,-2,4,-8...
