Answer:
The answer is 457
Step-by-step explanation:
You set up an equation as
10a+7c=6459
a+c=783
c= child
a= adult
then you simplify to 3a=978 by taking out one of the values. You get a - 326.
783-326=457 so there is your answer
Answer:y
Step-by-step explanation:
The next greater tenth is 14.7
The next smaller tenth is 14.5
Neither of them is nearer to 14.6 than 14.6 already is.
So 14.6 is already the nearest tenth.
Answer:
<em>(-2)2 - (-8) + 1</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
When you substitute values into an algebraic equation, you need to input the values exactly how they are given. "w" must go where there are "w"s, and "v" must go where the "v"s are, otherwise you will get an incorrect answer. All values must also carry over their signs--they are one unit--and must be inserted as such, which is why - (-8) is correct, but not - (8) or - 8. (This is because those two negatives will cancel each other out and become +8 when solving). The parenthesis around the values are important because they protect the original values of the variables, which is why (-2)2 is correct. In the case of (-2)2, it also signifies that they are "attached" by multiplication, and when solving would become -4. Without signifying that the variables are separate from the rest of the equation via the parenthesis, it becomes very easy to solve it incorrectly.
To solve an equation or inequality, you can add the same value to both sides of the expression. Here, it is convenient to choose that value to be the opposite of the constant (+15) added to y, so that constant is replaced by zero.
y + 15 - 15 < 3 - 15 . . . . . we have added -15 to both sides
y < -12 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . the result of simplifying. This is your solution.
