Answer:
4.8ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the length of the side of the hot tub. Ricardo wants the pool's sides to be 5 times as long, so
5x=24\implies x=\dfrac{24}5=4.8\text{ ft}
Answer:
N = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the decimal point right until it is right after the first significant figure.
N = 5
But wait! It's a decimal so it has to be negative.
N = -5
Answer: The area of Figure ABCDE is 79.5 square units.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Triangle ABC is the top triangle of Figure ABCDE.</em>
<u>Triangle ACD is the triangle on the right of Figure ABCDE.</u>
Triangle AED is the triangle on the bottom left of Figure ABCDE.
So, we need to add <em>23.85</em>, <u>29.4</u>, and 26.25 to get the area of Figure ABCDE!
23.85 + 29.4 + 26.25 = 79.5
Answer:
5 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 1760 yards are in a mile. We can convert the given info into a proportion. 440/75 = 1760/x, where x is the number of seconds it takes to run a mile. Cross-multiply to get 440x = 75*1760. Divide both sides by 440 to get x = 75*4 = 300 seconds. The problem asks for how many minutes so you have to convert 300 seconds to minutes. To do this, we have to divide 300 by 60 to get 5 minutes.
Answer: The number is: "2 " .
__________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________
Write the expression; which is an equation, as follows:
__________________________________________
" 4x <span>− 12 = 2(-x) " ; in which "x" represents "the number for which we shall solve" .
___________________________________________
Note:
If the "number" = "x" ; the "opposite of the number" = " -x " ;
</span>___________________________________________
Rewrite as: " 4x <span>− 12 = -2x " ;
</span>_____________________________________________
→ Add "12" ; & add "2x" ; to EACH SIDE of the equation:
4x − 12 + 12 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x ;
to get: 6x = 12 ;
____________________________________________________
Now, divide each side of the equation by "6" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
____________________________________________________
6x / 6 = 12 / 6 ;
to get: x = 2 .
____________________________________________________
Answer: The number is: "2 " .
____________________________________________________
Let us check our answer, by plugging in "2" for "x" in our original equation:
_____________________________________________________
→ " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;
Let us plug in "2" for "x" ; to see if the equation holds true; that is; if both side of the equation are equal; when "x = 2" ;
→ " 4(2) − 12 = ? 2(-2) ??
→ 8 − 12 = ? -4 ? ;
→ -4 = ? -4 ?? Yes!
