Answer:
Brett's statement is true
Step-by-step explanation:
A negative times a negative will always equal a positive number.
If you see two negative numbers being multiplied together, you can ignore the negative signs and treat them both like positive numbers.
-4 x -5 = 20
4 x 5 = 20
Answer:
PLZ MARK BRAINLIEST THE ANSWER IS 9
Step-by-step explanation:
the MPH is 45 miles per hour, 45 divided by 60=0.75. 0.75x12=9
Answer:
Part A. At least 6 hours
Part B. In less than 2.5 hours Elijah will be behind Mercedes
Part C. In more than 2.5 hours Elijah will be ahead Aubrey
Step-by-step explanation:
D = distance
v =speed
t = time
Formula connecting D, v and t:

Part A.
Steve's speed: 
Distance: at least 21 miles
Time: unknown, so
![3.5\cdot t\ge 21\\ \\35t\ge 210\ [\text{Multiplied by 10}]\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{210}{35}\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{30}{5}\\ \\t\ge 6](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3.5%5Ccdot%20t%5Cge%2021%5C%5C%20%5C%5C35t%5Cge%20210%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BMultiplied%20by%2010%7D%5D%5C%5C%20%5C%5Ct%5Cge%20%5Cdfrac%7B210%7D%7B35%7D%5C%5C%20%5C%5Ct%5Cge%20%5Cdfrac%7B30%7D%7B5%7D%5C%5C%20%5C%5Ct%5Cge%206)
It would take Steve at least 6 hours to walk at least 21 mi on Day 1.
Part B.
Mercedes's speed: 
Elijan's speed: 
Elijan's Distance walked:
miles
Mercedes's Distance walked:
miles
Time: x hours
Mercedes is 2 miles ahead, so

Elijan will be behind when

In 2.5 hours Elijan will catch up Mercedes, and in less than 2.5 hours Elijah will be behind Mercedes.
Part C.
Aubrey's speed: 
Elijan's speed: 
Elijan's Distance walked:
miles
Aubrey's Distance walked:
miles
Time: x hours
At the beginning of Day 3, Elijah starts walking at the marker for Mile 42, and Aubrey starts walking at the marker for Mile 42.5.

Elijan will be ahead of Aubrey when

In 2.5 hours Elijan will catch up Aubrey, and in more than 2.5 hours Elijah will be ahead Aubrey.
Answer:The first option is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2(13-5)+(4+8)^2
A. 148
B. 144
C. 20
D. 16
We must follow "PEMDAS" order of operations rules. Anything inside parentheses must be done first, followed by exponentiation, multiplication and division, and finally additionl and subtraction.
1/2(13-5)+(4+8)^2 has three sets of parentheses enclosing mathematical expressions: (1/2), (13 - 5) and (4 + 8). These evaluate to:
1/2, 8, 12
and so we now have (1/2)(8) + (12)^2
Exponentiation is next. We get: (1/2)(8) + 144
Next is multiplication: 4 + 144
Last is addition: 148
Answer A is correct: 148
8 x 9+4^2-(63/7)
is evaluated in the same way:
8 x 9+4^2-(9), followed by exponentiation:
8*9 + 16 - 9, followed by multiplication:
72 + 16 - 9 = 79 (Answer C)
