A) can.
because the number (x) has been decreased by 23 and is now 44.
Hope this helps :)
2abc - 3ab ║ 2 (2) (3) (4) - 3 (2) (3)
You would multiply and the products - you are going to subtract
2 × 2 × 3 × 4 = 48
3 × 2 × 3 = - 18

answer: 30
Answer:
(B) Write Negative 3 and one-third as Negative StartFraction 10 over 3 EndFraction, and find the reciprocal of StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction as StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction. Then, rewrite Negative 3 and one-third divided by StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction as Negative StartFraction 10 over 3 EndFraction times StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction. The quotient is Negative 7 and StartFraction 6 over 12 EndFraction = Negative 7 and one-half.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the quotient of the division:

Step 1: 

Step 2: Find the reciprocal of 

The average speed is given by:
average speed=(total distance)/(total time)
total time for the first 30 miles was:
time=distance/speed
=30/30
=1 hr
total time for the remaining 30 miles
=30/60
=0.5
hence the average speed will be:
speed=(30+30)/(1+0.5)=60/1.5=40 miles per hour
