L = Lea's eggs
C = Chris's eggs 

Chris had twice as many eggs as Lea 
C = 2L 

Chris dropped 6 of his eggs and Lea dropped 2 of hers, and then they had the same number. 
C - 6 = L - 2 

two equations, two unknowns, can be solved 

sub C = 2L 
into 
C - 6 = L - 2 
2L - 6 = L - 2 
L = 4 
so C = 8 

verify 
C = 2L; twice 4 is 8, OK 
C - 6 = L - 2 
8 - 6 is 2 and 4 - 2 is 2, OK 

So Lea started with 4 eggs, Chris with 8
Hope this helps

Ok so Chris had 2 times more than Lea... Chris dropped 6 and Lea dropped 2.... They now have the same amount... The question is how many eggs did Lea start with:

To get to work, you drive for 20 minutes at 30 mph, and walk 10 more minutes at 3 mph. What was your average speed?

fiasKO [112]

Note D = r(t)
20min = 1/3 hr and 10min = 1/6 hr

(1/3hr)30mph + (1/6hr)3mph = 10.5 mi, the total distance traveled.

total distance / total time = average speed = 10.5/(1/3 + 1/6) = 10.5/(2/6 + 1/6)
10.5mi/.5hr = 21mph

Hope This Helps

How do you simplify this expression with an answer in positive exponential notation? Please provide the process. Thank you!

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{negative exponents} \\\\ a^{-n} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^n} \qquad \qquad \cfrac{1}{a^n}\implies a^{-n} \qquad \qquad a^n\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-n}} \\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ 8^{-2}\cdot \cfrac{3^0-8^{-3}}{4^{-5}}\implies 8^{-2}\cdot \cfrac{1-\frac{1}{8^3}}{\frac{1}{4^5}}\implies 8^{-2}\cdot \cfrac{1-\frac{1}{(2^3)^3}}{\frac{1}{(2^2)^5}}$

$\bf 8^{-2}\cdot \cfrac{\quad \frac{512-1}{2^9}\quad }{\frac{1}{2^{10}}}\implies (2^3)^{-2}\cdot \cfrac{\quad \frac{511}{2^9}\quad }{\frac{1}{2^{10}}}\implies 2^{-6}\cdot \cfrac{511}{2^9}\cdot \cfrac{2^{10}}{1} \\\\\\ 2^{-6}\cdot \cfrac{511\cdot 2^{10}}{2^9}\implies 2^{-6}\cdot 511\cdot 2^{10}\cdot 2^{-9}\implies 2^{-6}\cdot 511\cdot 2^{10-9} \\\\\\ 2^{-6}\cdot 511\cdot 2\implies 511\cdot 2^{-6}\cdot 2\implies 511\cdot 2^{-6+1}\implies 511\cdot 2^{-5} \\\\\\ 511\cdot \cfrac{1}{2^5}\implies \cfrac{511}{32}$

The perimeter of a rectangular parking lot is 278m.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two lengths so 77 + 77 is 154. Now, subtract from the perimeter. 278 minus 154 is 124. This is both widths combined so to only get one, divide by 2. 124 divided by 2 is 62.
