Paraphin [41]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

I will provide the steps below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, You will need to plug in the 8.

2(8)-(1/-3)=-5  

Multiply

16-(-1/3)=-5

If we have two negitive it turns into possitive.

16+1/3=-5

16+1/3=-5

This statement is not true becuase if y=8 the equation will be (16+1/3)=5

*Make sure your giving me the right eqution otherwise this statment is false.*

Select the correct answer. The sum of Sally and Beth's age is 60. Six years ago, Sally was 3 times as old as Beth. What are thei
erastova [34]

Answer:

B. Beth's age is 18 years, and Sally's age is 42 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this question in a couple of different ways. First, you can use process of elimination. You know that Sally is older than Beth because she has to be 3 times older 6 years ago, so you can get rid of options C and D because they both show Beth as being older. Now you only have A and B, and you can use a different process. Now from just looking at it, you can tell that A actually already shows Sally as 3 times Beth's age, 15 * 3 = 45. If you go to B, you can go ahead and subtract 6 from 18 (Beth's age) which will give you 12, and then multiply that by 3 to get 36. Now if you take 42 (Sally's age) and subtract 6 from it as well, you will get 36. This means that is lines up. To simplify, you are subtracting 6 from both 18 and 42, and then you are multiplying the lower number by 3 to see if it gets to the bigger number.

Hope this helped ^-^

tony said that the school playground was 3,600 inches long. Explain how you could write 3,600 inches in a way that might be easi
kirill115 [55]
Well I would change it to feet to make it easier. There are 12 I inches in a foot so I would divide by 12. 3,600÷12=300 so the playground would be 300feet long. Which is easier than 3,600 inches. ANSWER:300 feet

12 inches = 1foot
1yard = 3feet
6yards = 18feet
Rerange the question:
If edging cost $2.32 per 1foot stone, and you want a double layer of edging around your flower bed that is 18feet by 3feet. How much will edging you flower bed cost?
Perimter:
2(18+3)=42
And since you want to double it; double the perimeter too.
42(2)=84

2.32(84)=194.88
