Question is Incomplete;Complete question is given below;

Caleb made $105 mowing lawns and walking dogs, charging the rates shown. If he mowed half as many lawns as dogs walked, how many lawns did he mow and how many dogs did he walk? $7.50 for walking dogs and $20 for mowing lawns

Answer:

Caleb mowed 3 lawns and walked 10 dogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dogs he walked be 'd'.

Let number of lawn he mowed be 'l'.

Given:

If he mowed half as many lawns as dogs walked

So we can say that;

l=\frac{1}{2}d=0.5d \ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Now given:

Cost for mowing each lawn = $20

Cost for walking each dog = $7.50

Total amount made = $105

Now we can say that;

Total amount made is equal to Cost for mowing each lawn multiplied by number of lawn he mowed and Cost walking each dog multiplied by number of lawn he mowed.

framing in equation form we get;

20l+7.5d=105 \ \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Substituting equation 1 in equation 2 we get;

20(0.5d)+7.5d=105

Applying distributive property we get;

10d+7.5d=105\\\\17.5d=105

Dividing both side by 17.5 we get;

\frac{17.5d}{17.5}=\frac{105}{17.5}\\\\d= 6

Substituting the value of 'd' in equation 1 we get;

l=0.5d=0.5\times6=3

Hence Caleb mowed 3 lawns and walked 10 dogs.

Use complete sentences to describe why √-1 ≠ -√1
tekilochka [14]

Well let's say that to compare these two numbers, we have to start with the definition first.

<u>D</u><u>e</u><u>f</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>i</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u>

\displaystyle \large{ {y}^{2}  = x} \\  \displaystyle \large{ y =  \pm  \sqrt{x} }

Looks like we can use any x-values right? Nope.

The value of x only applies to any positive real numbers for one reason.

As we know, any numbers time itself will result in positive. No matter the negative or positive.

<u>D</u><u>e</u><u>f</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>i</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u> </u><u>I</u><u>I</u>

\displaystyle \large{  {a}^{2}  = a \times a =  |b| }

Where b is the result from a×a. Let's see an example.

<u>E</u><u>x</u><u>a</u><u>m</u><u>p</u><u>l</u><u>e</u><u>s</u>

\displaystyle \large{  {2}^{2}  = 2 \times 2 = 4} \\  \displaystyle \large{  {( - 2)}^{2}  = ( - 2) \times ( - 2) =  | - 4|  = 4}

So basically, their counterpart or opposite still gives same value.

Then you may have a question, where does √-1 come from?

It comes from this equation:

\displaystyle \large{   {y}^{2}  =  - 1}

When we solve the quadratic equation in this like form, we square both sides to get rid of the square.

\displaystyle \large{   \sqrt{ {y}^{2} } =   \sqrt{ - 1}  }

Then where does plus-minus come from? It comes from one of Absolute Value propety.

<u>A</u><u>b</u><u>s</u><u>o</u><u>l</u><u>u</u><u>t</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>V</u><u>a</u><u>l</u><u>u</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>P</u><u>r</u><u>o</u><u>p</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>t</u><u>y</u><u> </u><u>I</u>

\displaystyle \large{  \sqrt{ {x}^{2}  } =  |x|  }

Solving absolute value always gives the plus-minus. Therefore...

\displaystyle \large{  y =   \pm \sqrt{ - 1}  }

Then we have the square root of -1 in negative and positive. But something is not right.

As I said, any numbers time itself of numbers squared will only result in positive. So how does the equation of y^2 = -1 make sense? Simple, it doesn't.

Because why would any numbers squared result in negative? Therefore, √-1 does not exist in a real number system.

Then we have another number which is -√1. This one is simple.

It is one of the solution from the equation y^2 = 1.

\displaystyle \large{   {y}^{2}  = 1} \\  \displaystyle \large{    \sqrt{ {y}^{2} }  =  \sqrt{1} } \\  \displaystyle \large{  y  =  \pm  \sqrt{1} }

We ignore the +√1 but focus on -√1 instead. Of course, we know that numbers squared itself will result in positive. Since 1 is positive then we can say that these solutions exist in real number.

<u>C</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>c</u><u>l</u><u>u</u><u>s</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u>

So what is the different? The different between two numbers is that √-1 does not exist in a real number system since any squared numbers only result in positive while -√1 is one of the solution from y^2 = 1 and exists in a real number system.

1) You will begin by writing down the definition of "monetary policy."
stepan [7]

It should be noted that monetary policy simply means the policy that's adopted by the monetary authority in a country in order to control interest rates and the money supply.

<h3>Monetary policy.</h3>

Your information is unclear but the clear and complete ones will be answered appropriately. The main monetary policies include the reserve requirement, open market operations, discount rate, and the interest on reserves.

It should be noted that a larger money supply leads to the reduction of the market interest rates. This makes it less expensive for consumers to borrow.

Also, a smaller money supply raises the market interest rates. Expansionary monetary policy leads to an increase in the money supply. This will lead to an increase in expenditure and therefore, the aggregate demand will shift to the right.

Answer:

$56

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply to find how much he took out.

18 * 8 = 144

Subtract to find how much he has left.

200 - 144 = 56

Best of Luck!
