A responsible estimate would be 14. 
You estimate each of the mixed numbers to the nearest whole number:
4 1/8=4 because 1/8 is less than 1/2 so the number stays the same
3 2/3=4 because 2/3 is grater than 1/2
5 1/2 =6 because 1/2 is equal to 1/2 which means you estimate up.
So 4+4+6=14

First, mentally add the whole numbers.
4+3+5=12
Now, look at the fractions. 1/8, 2/3, and 1/2.
2/3 is bigger than 1/2, so you can add in another whole number.
12+1=13
1/8 is tiny, and won't add a whole lot to the mix, so just leave that.
A reasonable estimate would be 13 1/8

Find the exact length of the third side
Mumz [18]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 13 is the hypotenuse. With this we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem.

Let the third side be x.

13^2=12^2+x^2

169=144+x^2

169-144=x^2

25=x^2

x=5

Solved.

3х – 8y = 34<br> 7х + 4у = -34<br> Solve by elimination <br> Y and x<br> Please show steps ):
garri49 [273]

Answer:

The answer would be (-2, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 8y= 34

2(7x + 4y = -34)

3x - 8y=34

14x + 8y= -68

----------------------

     17x= -34    divided by 17

       x = -2

3(-2) -8y= 34

-6 -8y =34 add 6

   -8y= 40  divide by -8

      y = -5

if you want to check the answer replacing -2 for x and -5 for y

7(-2) + 4(-5)= -34

-14 + (-20) = -34

-34 = -34

I hope this help sorry I'm not good explaining

Find a so that the point (-1, 2) is on the graph of f(x)=ax^2+5.
Gnesinka [82]
We are asked to determine the value of a such that the function f(x) = ax^2 + 5 is fit for the point given (-1,2). In this case, we substitute 2 to y and -1 to x. The result is then 2 = a*(-1)^2 + 5 ; 2 = a + 5; a is then equal to -3

1st question: Reuben received 80 dollars. Write a signed number to represent this change.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

1) +80

2) -1520

Step-by-step explanation:

Positive Signed numbers are used in real world situations to indicate the increase. Examples include; increase in weight, deposit of money into an account, increase in income, profit, height above sea level, etc. They are all represented by positive signed numbers.

Whereas, negative signed numbers show decrease. Examples include; loss of weight, withdrawal of money from an account, loans, liabilities, losses, temperature below zero degrees, height below sea level.

1) We are told that Reuben received 80 dollars. Thus, it means he received an increase in the amount of money he already had. Thus, the signed number will be +80.

2) We are told that A car corporation produced 1520 fewer cars this month than last.

Thus, the signed number will be negative since there is a decrease in number of cars.

Thus, signed number = -1520
