Answer:

b = -57/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first distribute everything out:

-8(1 + 5b) = -8 * 1 + (-8) * 5b = -8 - 40b

2(86 - 1) = 2 * 85 = 170

So, we have:

-8 - 40b - 170 = 50

-40b - 178 = 50

-40b = 50 + 178 = 228

b = -228/40 = -57/10

Thus, the answer is b = -57/10.

Hope this helps!

What is 1 & 5/7 times 2 & 3/4

VARVARA [1.3K]

The solution of $1\frac{5}{7} \times 2\frac{3}{4}$ is $\frac{33}{7} \text{ or } 4.714$

Solution:

Given that we have to find the solution of given expression

Given expression is:

$1\frac{5}{7} \times 2\frac{3}{4}$

Let us first convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction

Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

Add that to the numerator.

Then write the result on top of the denominator.

Therefore,

$1\frac{5}{7} = \frac{1 \times 7+5}{5} = \frac{12}{5}$

$2\frac{3}{4} = \frac{2 \times 4+3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}$

Now the expression becomes,

$1\frac{5}{7} \times 2\frac{3}{4} = \frac{12}{7} \times \frac{11}{4}$

Solve and simplify the above expression

$1\frac{5}{7} \times 2\frac{3}{4} = \frac{12}{7} \times \frac{11}{4} = \frac{33}{7}\\\\1\frac{5}{7} \times 2\frac{3}{4} = \frac{33}{7}$

In decimal form we get,

$\frac{33}{7}=4.714$

Thus the solution to given expression is found

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

both decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

mean before the 4th kitten = 153

mean after the 4th kitten = 129

hence mean decreases

median before the 4th kitten= 153

median after the 4th kitten= 150

hence median decreases
