Let us say that:
K = age of Kristen
B = age of Ben
From the problem, we make the equations:
eqtn 1: K + B = 32
eqtn 2: (K – 4) = 2 (B – 4)
Simplifying eqtn 2:
K – 4 = 2 B – 8
K = 2 B – 4
Plugging in this to eqtn 2:
(2 B – 4) + B = 32
3 B – 4 = 32
3 B = 36
B = 12
From eqtn 2:
K = 2 B – 4 = 2 (12) – 4 = 20
So Kristen is 20 while Ben is 12.
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
6a + 12 =? 3(3a + 4)
Distribute
6a+12 =? 3*3a + 3*4
6a+12 =? 9a +12
No
The expressions are not equivalent
2500 * 0.20 = 500 dollars
flooring a value, simply means, dropping it to the closest integer, so for the floor function or ⌊x⌋, that means
⌊ 2.5 ⌋ = 2
⌊ 2.00000001 ⌋ = 2
⌊ 2.999999999999⌋ = 2
⌊ -2.0000000001⌋ = -3
⌊ -2.999999999999⌋ = -3
let's recall that on the negative side of the number line, the farther from 0, the smaller, so -1,000,000 is a tiny number compared to the much larger -1.
⌊ -5.2 ⌋ = -6.
Answer:
1 / x^8
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a^b / a^c = a^ (b-c)
x^7 / x^ 15 = x^ (7-15) = x^-8
We also that that a^-b = 1/ a^b
x^-8 = 1 / x^8
