Answer:
Option C 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Astronomers measure large distances in light years. One light-year is the distance that light can travel in one year or approximately 5,880,000,000,000 miles.
Suppose a star is 14.4 light years from earth.
To find : How many miles away a star is from earth?
Solution :
In 1 light-year the distance a light can travel is = 5,880,000,000,000 miles.
or = 
miles
In 14.4 lights year the distance is 
or
Therefore, Option C is correct -
You need 6 packages because 5 packages wont be enough pencils for all of the students. You see, 5 times 5 is 25, and we have 27 students. So we buy 6 and have extra.
Answer:
A) z= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
We have that the sum of two numbers is 9
this can be written as:
x + y = 9
where x is the larger number.
Now we want to write:
"the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"
First, remember that the difference between A and B is:
A - B
Then "the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"
is:
"one more than the larger number" = ( x + 1)
"twice the smaller number" = 2*y
the difference between these is:
(x + 1) - 2*y
Now we can simplify:
We know that:
x + y = 9
then:
y = 9 - x
replacing that in the equation:
(x + 1) - 2*y
we would get:
x + 1 - 2*(9 - x)
x + 1 -18 + 2x
(x + 2x) + (1 - 18)
3x - 17
This means that we can write:
"the difference between one more than the larger number and twice the smaller number"
as: 3x - 17
