Answer:

According to PEDMAS , We first simplify the PARENTHESES

[5 · (2 – 4)] = [5· -2] = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression [–23 – [5 · (2 – 4)]] ÷ 32

We have to find the first step to simplify the given expression.

We apply PEDMAS

P stands for PARENTHESES

E stands for EXPONENTS

D stands for DIVIDE

M stands for MULTIPLY

A stands for ADDITION

S stands for SUBTRACTION.

So, according to PEDMAS , We first simplify the PARENTHESES

Thus, [5 · (2 – 4)] = [5· -2] = -10

Consider the line y=-5/4x-5 find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (-8,4)

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

y = -5/4x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line we are supposed to find is parallel to y = -5/4x - 5 that means they are going to have the same slope. The line we are looking for is of the following type: y = -5/4 x + b

Since it passes through the point (-8,4):

4 = -5/4 * (-8) + b <=>

4 = -2 + b <=>

4 + 2 = b <=>

b = 6

Hence the line is going to be: y = -5/4x + 6

Plss help I’ll mark brainliest

Answer:

D 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally when I multiply mixed numbers, I change them to improper fractions first so that it is easier.

1 $\frac{2}{10}$ × 5 = $\frac{12}{10}$ × 5

Multiply 5 by the numerator of the fraction and leave the denominator alone.

$\frac{12}{10}$ × 5 = $\frac{60}{10}$

Change back to simplest form.

$\frac{60}{10}$ = 6

Aiden walked 2/3 of a mile in 1/5 of an hour. What is his rate in miles per hour?

Tanzania [10]

To get a full hour we need to multiply the quantity (1/5) by 5 because this = 1. Now you would have to also multiply the (2/3) by 5.
10/3 miles or 3 and 1/3 miles
