<h3>
Answer: x-y years old</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
Let's use numbers in place of the variables
Let's say Anna is 25 years old and her sister Jane is 5 years younger.
This means Anna was 25-5 = 20 years old when Jane was born.
-------------------------
As another example:
Anna = 37 years old
Jane = 10 years younger
Anna was 37-10 = 27 when her sister was born
--------------------------
The examples show that all we do is subtract the x and y values to figure out how old Anna was when her sister was born.
For the first example, we basically did x-y = 25-5 = 20
The second example was x-y = 37-10 = 27
A variable is placeholder for a number. Think of it as a box where a single number will go inside.
Answer:
-8-5m
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Each team in the softball league plays each of the other teams exactly once. For every game, there is 2 team playing. The order is not important because A vs B is same as B vs A
So you just need to makes a combination of 2 that have a result of 21. If there is t number of teams, the number of matches would be:
tC2 = t!/2!(t-2)! = 21
</span>t! / (t-2)! = 21 *2
(t)(t-1)= 42
t^2 -t -42=0
(t-7)(t+6)
t=7 ; t=-6
Excluding the minus result, you got 7 teams.
4x1/2=2. 2 is less than 4 so it shows that it is false.
<span>Exponent
is a number used to express shorter equation; it is a number that says how many
times you are going to multiply the base number.
</span><span>
Exponents have several laws, here are
some:
=> x^1 = x
=> x^0 = 1
=> x^-1 = 1/x
=> x^m x^n = X^m+n
=> x^m/x^n = x^m-n
And since we were asked to write an
expression with a negative exponent that has a value between 0 and ½
=> 2^ -2 = ½
