-2 2/10 and -2 3/10 would both work.
If you would like to know how many hours will Lena need to work before she can afford to buy the computer, you can calculate this using the following steps:
$900 - $473 = $427
$427 / $7 = 61 hours of yard work
Result: Lena will need to work 61 hours before she can afford to buy the computer.
Answer:
· Use properties of equality together to isolate variables and solve algebraic equations.
· Use the properties of equality and the distributive property to solve equations containing parentheses, fractions, and/or decimals.
Introduction
There are some equations that you can solve in your head quickly. For example – what is the value of y in the equation 2y = 6? Chances are you didn’t need to get out a pencil and paper to calculate that y = 3. You only needed to do one thing to get the answer, divide 6 by 2.
Other equations are more complicated. Solving without writing anything down is difficult! That’s because this equation contains not just a variable but also fractions and terms inside parentheses. This is a multi-step equation, one that takes several steps to solve. Although multi-step equations take more time and more operations, they can still be simplified and solved by applying basic algebraic rules.
Using Properties of Equalities
Remember that you can think of an equation as a balance scale, with the goal being to rewrite the equation so that it is easier to solve but still balanced. The addition property of equality and the multiplication property of equality explain how you can keep the scale, or the equation, balanced. Whenever you perform an operation to one side of the equation, if you perform the same exact operation to the other side, you’ll keep both sides of the equation equal.
If the equation is in the form, ax + b = c, where x is the variable, you can solve the equation as before. First “undo” the addition and subtraction, and then “undo” the multiplication and division.
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer to c^2=a^2+b^2 (^2 means squared)
C is the hypotenuse and will be the longest measure
So 15^2= 9^2+12^2
225=225
If both sides are equal then the triangle is a right triangle, if the hypotenuse (or c) is lower or higher than you can determine whether it’s obtuse or acute
It would be a right triangle
In an ordered pair, x is the first number and y is the second number. So this is telling you x=1 and y=-5. You can take this information and plug it into the formulas.
x + 2y = -9
1 + 2(-5) = -9
1 + -10 = -9? True
x - y = 6
1 - -5 = 6? *
1 + 5 = 6? True.
(*Subtracting a negative makes it a positive.)
