Complete question:
Kyle incorrectly says that the product of - ( - 6 ) # ( - 1 ) is 6 . 11. After a recycling awareness program, the number of tons of recyclable material taken to the landfill is reduced by 13 7/10 tons per month. Represent the total change in the tons of recyclable material taken to the landfill after 7 months resulting from the awareness program a. What is the correct product? 10 month. Represent the total change in the b. What was Kyle's likely error?
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Kyle incorrectly says that the product of - ( - 6 ) ( - 1 ) is 6
-(-6)(-1) = 6 [incorrect]
Correction:
-(-6) (-1) :
- (-6) = 6
6 (-1) = - 6
Given that reduction in materials = 13 7/10 tons per month
Monthly reduction = 13 7/10 = 137/10 tons
After 7 months : (7 * 137/10) = 959/10 tons = 95.9 tons
Change in amount of material taken to the land fill:
Initial amount - amount after 7 months
If initial amount = x
Change in amonnt = (x - 95.9) tons
You want to buy something that costs $98, and it's on sale for 30% off. What is the item's sale price?
First, convert the 30% to a real mathematical number. For percents, this is always done by dividing the 30% by 100%, or 30% / 100% = 0.300.
Second, find out what 30% of $98 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by mulitplying 0.300 by the item's cost $98, like this:
0.300 x $98 = $29.40.
So for this sale, you'll save $29.40 on this item.
This means, the cost of the item to you is
$98 - $29.40 = $68.60.
The answer is 9 because the difference in this sequence goes +1,+2,+3 etc. So all you have to do is plus 6 to 15 and you get 9.
Answer:
1. A letter, A, added to a letter, B, equals ten.
2. A letter, x, which is multiplied by 4, then has a number, y, subtracted from it to equal a letter, a.
If you try write these out, I'm sure you'd get the algebraic expression given.
