No, the expressions –0.5(3x 5) and –1.5x 2.5 are not equivalent.

Using the distributive property to expand the first expression, you would get -1.5x - 2.5. Since the constant term does not have the same sign as the second expression, the two expressions are not equivalent.

Also, if you substitute in a value for x and evaluate each expression, the values will not be equal.

Hi I really need help

To solve this, you can first solve each expression:

35 / 6 = 5.83333

5 + 3/10 = 5.3

5 = 5

35 / 10 = 3.5

15 / 5 = 5

5 + 5/6 = 5.8333333

3 = 3

10 * 1/2 = 5

So, the tiles of 5, 15*1/5, and 10*1/2 all equal 5.

The tiles of 35/6 and 5+5/6 equal 5.83333.

The remaining tiles to not have matches.

kondor19780726 [428]

The complete question in the attached figure

we have that
the value of the digit in the hundreds place in the number 653,841 is---> 800

case A) 748,917
the value of the digit in the thousands place------> 8000
1/10 the value of the digit is-------> (1/10)*8000=800
800=800---------------> is ok

case B) 749,817
the value of the digit in the thousands place------> 9000
1/10 the value of the digit is-------> (1/10)*9000=900
900 is not 800

case C) 784,817
the value of the digit in the thousands place------> 4000
1/10 the value of the digit is-------> (1/10)*4000=400
400 is not 800

case D) 797,481
the value of the digit in the thousands place------> 7000
1/10 the value of the digit is-------> (1/10)*7000=700
700 is not 800

the answer is
the option A) 748,917

The simple interest on a certain sum for 5years at 8% per annum is Rs200 less than the simple interest on the same sum for 3year

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest on a certain sum for 5years at 8% per annum is Rs200 less than the simple interest on the same sum for 3years and 4months at 18% per annum.Find the sum

The formula for Simple Interest = PRT

From above question, we have to find the Principal

The simple interest on a certain sum for 5years at 8% per annum is Rs200

Hence,

R = 8%

T = 5 years

Rs 200 = P × 8% × 5

P = 200/8% × 5

P = Rs500

The principal = Rs 500

The simple interest on the same sum for 3years and 4months at 18% per annum.

Simple Interest = PRT
