This is a proportion question.

0.5:40 miles :: 5:x

Translated into division you get 0.5/40 = 5/x          Cross multiply

0.5 x = 40 * 5                   combine the right

0.5x = 200                       divide by 0.5

0.5x/0.5 = 200/0.5          Divide

x = 400

Answer: The two cities are 400 miles apart

Plz helpppp:Tammy conducted a survey to find the favorite subject of the students at her school. She asked 25 students from her
alexira [117]

Answer: Tammy's sample may not be vaild because she surveyed the students only from her class and it is likely that other classes might not like the subject maths. She might get the accurate results by surveying a larger number of people in the school instead of just her class.

What two numbers' sum=-4 and product=-2
n200080 [17]

Let <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> be the two numbers. Then

<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = -4

<em>a b</em> = -2

Solve the second equation for <em>b</em> :

<em>b</em> = -2/<em>a</em>

Substitute this into the first equation:

<em>a</em> - 2/<em>a</em> = -4

Multiply both sides by <em>a</em> :

<em>a</em>² - 2 = -4<em>a</em>

Move 4<em>a</em> to the left side:

<em>a</em>² + 4<em>a</em> - 2 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to solve for <em>a</em> :

<em>a</em> = (-4 ± √(4² - 4(-2))) / 2

<em>a</em> = -2 ± √6

If <em>a</em> = -2 + √6, then

-2 + √6 + <em>b</em> = -4

<em>b</em> = -2 - √6

In the other case, we end up with the same numbers, but <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are swapped.
