We have FIVE cats that each ate 1/4 cup of canned food.

Then, the five of them together ate:

5 times 1/4 cup This in mathematical expression is a profduct of an integer value (5) times the fraction (1/4) which we know how to multiply based on the problems we solved a few minutes ago:

5 * 1/4 = 5/1 * 1/4 = (5 * 1) / (1 * 4) = 5/4 cups

This answer can also be written as a MIXED number given that 5/4 is an IMPROPER fraction (a fraction with numerator larger than the denominator)

5/4 = 1 1/4

Not sure what answer your teacher would prefer. It depends on whether he/she wants you to use fractions or mixed numbers.

-7(-2a+6)=2a-6(-a+7)

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

$a=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-7(-2a+6)=2a-6(-a+7)$

$14a-42=2a+6a-42$

$14a-42=8a-42$

$6a-42=-42$

$6a=0$

$a=0$

What value should be added to the expression to create a perfect square? x^2 - 20x

boyakko [2]

To complete the square:
we take the coefficient ox "x" (which in this problem is -20)
we divide it by 2
square that number
then add it to both sides of the equation

-20 / 2 = -10
-10^2 = 100
then we add 100 to both sides of the equation:
x^2 -20x
x^2 -20x +100 = 100
******************************************************
To get the roots of the equation, we take the square root of both sides:
(x -10) * (x-10) = 10
(x-10) = square root (10)
x-10 = 3.1622776602 
x1 = 13.1622776602 
and don't forget that square root of 10 also equals -3.1622776602 
x2 = 10 - 3.1622776602
x2 = 6.8377223398
