Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe this is a false statement, due to the fact '6' is larger than four. In this case, the six is negative. Therefore, negative numbers are always closer to zero than positive numbers.

Hope it helped :)

a number is equal to twice a smaller number plus 3. The same number is equal to twice the sum of the smaller number and1. How ma
NeX [460]

Answer:

There is NO solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering 'y' be the number

Considering x be the smaller number

As 'y' is equal to twice a smaller number plus 3.

so

y = 2x + 3

also

y is equal to twice the sum of the smaller number and 1.

so

y = 2x + 1

so the system of equations become

y = 2x + 3

y = 2x + 1

solving

\begin{bmatrix}y=2x+3\\ y=2x+1\end{bmatrix}

\mathrm{Subsititute\:}y=2x+1

\begin{bmatrix}2x+1=2x+3\end{bmatrix}

\mathrm{Refine\:}2x+1=2x+3

-2=0

-2=0\:\mathrm{\:is\:false,\:therefore\:the\:system\:of\:equations\:has\:no\:solution}

\mathrm{No\:Solution}

Therefore, there is NO solution.

Please simplify this please it’s due really soon!
iren2701 [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{ {13}^{6}  \div  {13}^{8}  \times  {13}^{ - 4} }{ {13}^{ - 2} }

You need to remember the properties of exponents: multiplication adds the exponents, division subtracts the exponents.

If you multiply two powers with the same base, the result will be the base to the sum of the powers.

If you divide two powers with the same base, the result will be the base to the difference of the powers.

In your case you will this:

{13}^{6 - 8 + ( - 4) - ( - 2)}

That is:

{13}^{ - 4}

Or:

\frac{1}{ {13}^{4} }
