The sum of the given expression { (w - 2.4) + (1 - 0.5w) } is 0.5w - 1.4.

<h3>What is the sum of the given expression?</h3>

Given the expression in the question;

(w - 2.4) + (1 - 0.5w)

Remove the parenthesis

w - 2.4 + 1 - 0.5w

Collect like terms and simplify

w - 2.4 + 1 - 0.5w

w - 0.5w - 2.4 + 1

1w - 0.5w - 2.4 + 1

0.5w - 1.4

Therefore, the sum of the given expression { (w - 2.4) + (1 - 0.5w) } is 0.5w - 1.4.

Need help badly don’t have answer to this problem.

NikAS [45]

There are a couple of ways to tackle this one, using the 45-45-90 rule or just using the pythagorean theore, let's use the pythagorean theorem.

the angle at A is 45°, and its opposite side is BC, the angle at C is 45° as well, and its opposite side is AB, well, the angles are the same, thus BC = AB.

hmmm le'ts call hmmm ohh hmmm say z, thus BC = AB = z.

$\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem}
\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2 \implies (6\sqrt{2})^2=z^2+z^2
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=\stackrel{6\sqrt{2}}{hypotenuse}\\
a=\stackrel{z}{adjacent}\\
b=\stackrel{z}{opposite}\\
\end{cases}\\\\\\ 6^2(\sqrt{2})^2=2z^2\implies 36(2)=2z^2\implies \cfrac{36(2)}{2}=z^2\implies 36=z^2
\\\\\\
\sqrt{36}=z\implies 6=z$

There are 10 girls and 8 boys in Mr Augellis class. If 5 more girls and 5 more boys join the class, will the ratio of girls to b

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not quite sure what a ratio table is, but I can explain it the way I understand it.

The initial ratio is 10:8 which is 1.25 as a decimal.

Now let's add five to each number to represent the kids joining the class, this will result in the following:

15:13 which is 1.153846154 as a decimal.

Therefore, the ratio doesn't stay the same just because you added the same number of people to each group.

Hope this helps :)

Gas mileage is the number of miles you can drive on a gallon of gasoline. A test of a new car results in 350 miles on 20 gallons

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer=875miles 17.5miles per gallon

350miles x miles
________=_________
20gallons 50gallons

cross multiply
20x=17500
divide both sides by 20
x=875

875 miles can be traveled with 50 gallons of gas.

To find gas milage, which is essentially miles per gallon, simply divide the number of miles by the number of gallons

350miles 20gallons

350/20=17.5 miles per gallon
