The answer is 9
Explanation:
We know the total amount of spaghetti sauce is 20.5 cups; additionally, each container can be filled with a maximum of 2.5 cups of this sauce. In this context, the process to know the number of containers Mr. Rush needs to store all the sauce is to divide the total amount by the amount each container can hold.
20.5 cups of sauce ÷ 2.5 cups per container = 8.2 containers
This means 8 containers can be completely filled and a ninth container is required to hold the small amount of the sauce missing (0.2)
You combine like terms.
-2x+9x
whatever answer that is you then combine the like terms -9+-1 the you just make an expression out of them.
You have to square the binomial.
(x^3 + 4y) (x^3 + 4y)
Using FOIL:
x^9 + 4(x^3)y + 4(x^3)y + 16y^2
x^9 + 8(x^3)y + 16y^2
You could also use the formula: (a+b)^2 = (a^2 + 2ab + b^2).
Write both sides as powers of 8, then simplify:
However, on the left hand side, this would mean we'd have, , which is undefined (assuming the real-valued logarithm), so this equation has no real solution.
