Stan worked 2h days this week

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

Stan drives 30 minutes a day commuting to and from work
He drove h hours this week

We need to find how many days he worked

∵ Stan drives 30 minutes a day

∵ 1 hour = 60 minute

∴ 30 minutes = $\frac{30}{30}=\frac{1}{2}$ hour

∴ Stan drives $\frac{1}{2}$ hour a day

∵ He drove h hours this week

- To find the number of days that he worked divide the total

hours he drove in this week by the hour he drives in a day

∴ The number of days = h ÷ $\frac{1}{2}$

- Change the division sign to multiplication sign and reciprocal the

fraction after the division sign

∵ The reciprocal of $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{2}{1}$ = 2

∴ The number of days = h × 2

∴ The number of days = 2h

Stan worked 2h days this week

Find the product of (3x - 2)and(6x + 1)

stealth61 [152]

Use foil (first, outer, inner, last)

First terms: 3x * 6x = 18x²

Outer terms: 3x * 1 = 3x

Inner terms: -2 * 6x = -12x

Last terms: -2 * 1 = -2

Put all that together to get 18x² + 3x - 12x - 2

3x and -12x can be combined because they're like terms; 3x - 12x = -9x

So the final product is 18x² - 9x - 2

Complete the two-column proof.

Nataliya [291]

The correct answers are:

substitution property; subtraction property of equality; division property of equality; and reflexive property.

Explanation:

The difference between the given statement and the first statement is that 11x is replaced with 88. This is because we are told that x=8; 11(8) = 88. Substitution has been used here.

The difference between the first step and the second step is that 88 is no longer on the left hand side and the right hand side is -89. This is because to cancel 88, it has been subtracted from each side of the equation. This is the subtraction property of equality.

The difference between the second step and the third step is that -6 is no longer on the left side and the right hand side is 89/6. This is because to cancel -6 both sides were divided by -6. This is the division property of equality.

The difference between the third step and the last step is that the 89/6 and y have been flipped around the equals sign. This is the reflexive property.
