Answer: 27 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply inverse relation:

Since it takes 24 electricians 36 days to wire a new housing subdivision, the relation is:

24 (36)

For 32 electricians:

24(36) = 32 (x)

Solving for x (days)

864 =32x

864/32 =x

x= 27 days

Ethan went to the grocery store and bought bottles of soda and bottles of juice. Each bottle of soda has 45 grams of sugar and e

Anna35 [415]

9 bottles of soda and 10 juice bottles are purchased

Solution:

Given that,

Sugar contained by each soda bottle = 45 grams

Sugar contained by each juice bottle = 35 grams

Let,

x be the number of soda bottles

y be the number of juice bottles

Given that,

Ethan purchased a total of 19 bottles of juice

Therefore, we get,

x + y = 19 ---------- eqn 1

Ethan purchased a total of 19 bottles of juice and soda which collectively contain 755 grams of sugar

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

$45 \times x + 35 \times y = 755$

45x + 35y = 755 --------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

From eqn 1,

x = 19 - y --------- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

45(19 - y) + 35y = 755

855 - 45y + 35y = 755

10y = 100

y = 10

Substitute y = 10 in eqn 3

x = 19 - 10

x = 9

Thus 9 bottles of soda and 10 juice bottles are purchased

Is the expression x3•x3•x3 equivalent to x3•3•3? Why or why not? Explain your reasoning.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

If the first expression reads x(cube) • x(cube) • x(cube) and x(cube • cube • cube), then the answer is no. They are not equal.

x(cube) • x(cube) • x(cube) will be equivalent to x(to the 9th power) while x(cube • cube • cube) will be equivalent to x( to the 27th power).
