ANSWER

$-32$

EXPLANATION

We want to solve the given expression for x = -18:

$\frac{5x}{3}-2$

To do this, substitute the given value of x into the expression and simplify. That is:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{5(-18)}{3}-2 \\ \frac{-90}{3}-2 \\ -30-2 \\ \Rightarrow-32 \end{gathered}$

That is the answer.

John has a rectangular-shaped field whose length is 62.5 yards and width is 45.3 yards. The area of the field is ________ square

oee [108]

Area = 2831.25 square yards

Perimeter =215.6 yards

EXPLANATION

The area and perimeter of a rectangular field are found using the formula for finding the area and perimeter of a rectangle respectively.

That means, area of the rectangular field is given by the formula,

$A= l\times w$

We just have to substitute
$l=62.5$ and $w= 45.3$ into the given formula and evaluate.

This implies that;

$A= 62.5\times 45.3$

This gives the area of the rectangular-shaped field to be;

$A= 2831.25$ square yards.

Now for the perimeter, we use the formula

$P=2w +2l$

Or

$P=2(w +l)$

Substituting the values for the length and width gives,

$P=2(62.5+45.3)$

$\Rightarrow P=2(107.8)$

$\Rightarrow P=215.6$

Hence the perimeter of the rectangular shaped field is 215.6 yards.

24. A farmstand collected $350 from sales on Wednesday. This amount was $75

larisa [96]

Answer:

$100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Wednesday sales = $350

If the amount collected from sales on Wednesday was $75 greater than the amount collected from sales on Tuesday, then Tuesday's sales were $75 less than Wednesday's sales:

Tuesday sales = $350 - $75 = $275

If the amount collected from sales on Wednesday was two times as great as the amount collected from sales on Monday, then Monday's sales were half Wednesday's sales:

Monday sales = $350 ÷ 2 = $175

To calculate how much more the farmstand collected from sales on Tuesday than it collected on Monday, subtract the Monday sales from the Tuesday sales:

$275 - $175 = $100

Find the point-slope equation for

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

y-24=m(x--4)

Step-by-step explanation:

point slope form:

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

1) find the slope or "m" first:

slope formula: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(-53-24)/7+4

-77/11=-7

slope=-7

y-y₁=-7(x-x₁)

y1=24

x1=-4

y-24=m(x--4)

hope this helps!
