Answer:

  1/6x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

"Simplify" generally means, "eliminate parentheses and combine like terms." In general, parentheses are eliminated by making use of the distributive property.

__

  \dfrac{2}{3}x-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x+1\right)=\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{1}{2}x-1=\left(\dfrac{2}{3}-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)x-1\\\\=\left(\dfrac{4}{6}-\dfrac{3}{6}\right)x-1=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{6}x-1}

Roger wants to carpet a rectangular room with length of 8 3/4 feet and a width of 9 1/3 feet. If he has 85 square feet of carpet
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

12.66 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the dimensions of the room are 8\frac{3}{4}=\frac{31}{4} and 9\frac{1}{3}=\frac{28}{3}.

The area of the room =length*width

Area=\frac{31}{4} *\frac{28}{3}

Area=72.33 ft^2

The area of the carpet=85 ft^2

The area of carpet left= Total area of carpet - the area of the room

The area of carpet left= 85-72.33=12.66 ft^2

hannah and mallory are selling boxes of cookies for a school fundraiser. each box costs the same amount. hannah sells 14 boxes.
aleksley [76]

The cost per box of cookies is $3.75

The total amount Hannah raised from the sales of cookies is $52.50

The total amount Mallory raised from the sales of cookies and donations is $88.50

In order to determine the cost per box of cookies, take the following steps:

The first step is to determine the total sum of the boxes sold by Hannah and Mallory

Sum of the boxes sold = 14 + 22 = 36 boxes

36 boxes were sold by Hannah and Mallory

The second step is to determine the total cost of the 36 boxes sold.

Total cost of 36 boxes = total amount raised - donation

$141 - $6 = $135

The third step is to determine the total cost of each box

cost of one box = total cost of 36 boxes / total number of boxes

135 / 36 = $3.75

The total amount Hannah raised = cost per box x number of boxes she sold

14 x $3.75 = $52.50

The total amount Mallory raised = amount raised from the sale of cookies + donation

amount raised from sales = cost per box x number of boxes she sold

22 x $3.75 = $82.50

Total amount = $82.50 + $6 = $88.50
