The answer to your question is negative 52. hope i helped.
We are given expression:
Let us distribute 3/8 over exponents in parenthesis, we get
We can get x and y out of the radical because, we get whlole number 1 for x and y exponents for the mixed fractions.
So, we could write it as.
Now, we could write inside expression of parenthesis in radical form.
For this case we can propose a system of equations:
x: Let the variable that represents the number of small cookies
y: Let the variable that represents the number of large cookies
According to the statement we have:
We multiply the first equation by -2:
We have the following equivalent system:
We add the equations:
We look for the value of the variable "x":
Answer:
They sold 80 small cookies and 50 large cookies
12 I got it form Socratic
Sum means add so: 24 + 36 + 13 = 73
