same as before, we look at the denominators, hmmm do a quick prime factoring.

3 = 3 * 1

9 = 3 * 3 * 1

since 9 already contains 3 and 1, we can us that

$\cfrac{\underline{2}}{3}~~ - ~~\cfrac{1}{9}\implies \cfrac{(2)\underline{2}~~ - ~~(1)1}{\underset{\textit{using this LCD}}{9}}\implies \cfrac{4-1}{9}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{1}{~~\begin{matrix} 3 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}{\underset{3}{~~\begin{matrix} 9 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}\implies \cfrac{1}{3}$

Andrea, Justin, and Virginia went to an office supply store. Andrea bought 6 pencils, 7 markers, and 8 erasers. Her total was $1

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

$x=0.25\,,\,y=1.75\,,\,z=0.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x,y,z$ denotes number of pencils, markers, erasers respectively.

For Andrea:

$6x+7y+8z=15.75\,\,\,(i)$

For Justin:

$6x+8y+5z=16.75\,\,\,(ii)$

For Virginia:

$5x+5y+7z=11.75\,\,\,(iii)$

On subtracting equations (i) and (ii), we get

$(6x+7y+8z)-(6x+8y+5z)=15.75-16.75\\-y+3z=-1\\y-3z=1\\y=1+3z$

Put $y=1+3z$ in equation (i)

$6x+7(1+3z)+8z=15.75\\6x+29z=8.75\,\,\,(iv)$

Put $y=1+3z$ in equation (iii)

$5x+5(1+3z)+7z=11.75\\5x+22z=6.75\,\,\,(v)$

Multiply equation (iv) by 5 and equation (v) by 6 and then subtract both the equations.

$5(6x+29z)-6(5x+22z)=5(8.75)-6(6.75)\\13z=3.25\\z=\frac{3.25}{13}=0.25$

Put $z=0.25$ in equation $y=1+3z$

$y=1+3(0.25)=1.75$

Put $y=1.75\,,\,z=0.25$ in equation (i)

$6x+7(1.75)+8(0.25)=15.75\\6x+12.25+2=15.75\\6x=1.5\\x=0.25$

If someone is going 24.85 mi/h how far will they have gone in 4 hours?

Leokris [45]

You would have to do 24.85 x 4 because the 24.85 is per hour and if someone is going for 4 hours, this is what we would have to work out. So it would equal: 99.40 miles per hour. :)

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

- 1.67

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = $\frac{3}{7+2}$ - $\sqrt{7-3}$

= $\frac{3}{9}$ - $\sqrt{4}$

= $\frac{1}{3}$ - 2

= - 1 $\frac{2}{3}$

= -1.6666666

= -1.67

Please solve these questions on the topic of exponents

galina1969 [7]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: $x^{-a} = \frac{1}{x^a}$

a. $4^{-3} = \frac{1}{4^3} = \frac{1}{64}$

b. $13^{-2} = \frac{1}{13^2} = \frac{1}{169}$

c. $(-3)^{-2} = \frac{1}{-3^2} = \frac{1}{9}$
