When you see the subtraction<span> (</span>minus<span>) sign followed by a </span>negative<span> sign, turn the two signs into a plus sign. Thus, instead of </span>subtracting<span> a </span>negative<span>, you're adding a </span>positive<span>, so you have a simple addition problem.</span>

The table shows the annual profits (in thousands of dollars) of a county fair from 2008 to 2012. What must the 2012 profit be (i
sertanlavr [38]
In the year 2008 and 2009, the company had profit 2.5 thousand dollars and 1.75 thousand dollars consecutively

In the year 2010 and 2011, the company experienced a loss of 3.3 thousand dollars and 1.4 thousand dollars.

Total profit is 2.5 + 1.75 = 4.55 thousand dollars
Total loss = 3.3 + 1.4 = 4.7 thousand dollars

Total loss is bigger than the total profit so the company needs to make profit in 2012 to break even = 4.7 - 4.55 = 0.37 thousand dollars (this is the least profit the company needs to make)

The area of a circular rose garden is 44 square meters. What is the radius of the garden?
Tasya [4]
The area of a circle is:

a=πr^2  dividing both sides by π

r^2=a/π  taking the square root of both sides

r=√(a/π), in this case a=44 m^2 so:

r=√(44/π) m^2

r≈14.01 m^2  (to the nearest hundredth of a square meter)

erik [133]
Use similar triangles (see the picture I drew at the bottom)

\frac{6.3}{13.8} = \frac{18.9}{x} \\6.3x=(13.8)(18.9)\\6.3x=260.82\\x=41.4
