-15 would be your answer a negative plus a negative the signs together would turn negative 15 to positive

It’s -15 because when you subtract 15 from 30 it turns out as 15 but then when you try doing +15-15 it comes out as 0, instead of adding positive 15, do negative because a negative times a negative is positive.
The answer would be -15-15=30

Hope this helps!!

Miss Kito’s car holds 18 gallons of gasoline. As she was driving, she noticed that the fuel gauge indicated that she had 1/5 of

jonny [76]

We will see that the cost of filling the tank is $38.88, and at the final of the trip she will have 4 gallons on the tank.

<h3>How much costs to fill the tank?</h3>

a) The car holds 18 gallons, and it has 1/5 of the tank remaining.

Then in the tank there are:

(1/5)*18 = 3.6 gallons.

Then we need 18 gal - 3.6 gal = 14.4 gal

And each gallon costs $2.70, then to fill the tank, Miss Kito needs:

(14.4)*$2.70 = $38.88

b) Now we know that the car travels 26 miles per gallon, and she needs to travel a total distance of 364 miles.

Then she needs:

$\frac{364mi}{26 mi/gal} = 14 gal$

To travel that distance, and the car holds 18 gallons, so at the end of the trip, she will have 4 gallons of gasoline in her car.

For this case we have the following expression:

$\frac {216 ^ {n-2}} {(\frac {1} {36}) ^ {3n}} = 216$

We multiply both sides by: $(\frac {1} {36}) ^ {3n}$

$216 ^ {n-2} = 216 * (\frac {1} {36}) ^ {3n}$

We divide both sides by 216:

$\frac {216 ^ {n-2}} {216} = (\frac {1} {36}) ^ {3n}$

To divide powers of the same base, we place the same base and subtract the exponents:

$216 ^ {n-2-1} = (\frac {1} {36}) ^ {3n}\\216 ^ {n-3} = (\frac {1} {36}) ^ {3n}$

Rewriting:

$(6 ^ 3) ^ {n-3} = (\frac {1} {6 ^ 2}) ^ {3n}\\6 ^ {3n-9} = \frac {1} {6 ^ {6n}}\\6^{ 3n-9} * 6^{ 6n} = 1$

To multiply powers of the same base, we place the same base and add the exponents:

$6^{ 3n-9 + 6n} = 1\\6^{ 9n-9} = 1$

We know that any number raised to zero is 1, $a ^ 0 = 1.$

So, for equality to be true:

$9n-9 = 0\\9n = 9\\n = \frac {9} {9}\\n = 1$

Answer:

$n = 1$

M is between L and N. LM = 7x-1, MN = 2x +4, and LN = 12. find the value of ‘x’ an determine if M is a bisector.

Sholpan [36]

LM + MN = LN

7x - 1 + 2x + 4 = 12

9x + 3 = 12

9x = 12 - 3

9x = 9

x = 9/9

x = 1
