Answer:
Equation: -5 + 12
Overall change: 7 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
In the problem, it says "lost 5 yards". "Lost" is another way of saying subtraction or negative. Therefore, our starting number is -5.
The problem also says "gained 12 yards". "Gained" is another was of saying addition or positive. Therefore, our second number is positive 12.
Together, these two numbers look like this: -5 + 12. To add them, go 12 to the right of -5 if on a number line. That would be like this: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, etc until you get to 7 which should be 12 more than -5.
Therefore, the answer is 7 yards.
Answer:
8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
the ladder will make a right angle triangle with the house. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the ladder, 20 ft, and the height of the triagnle is 18 ft.
Solve for the base of the right angle triangle using pythagorean's theorem:
c=20, a=18, b=?
round to the nearest foot,
b = 8 ft
The correct mean is 18.3 because you add 1.8 to the mean.
Answer:
can you send a picture?
Step-by-step explanation:
Let’s do 3x - 8 ≤ 23 first.
You need to rearrange this so that x is on its own.
+8 to both sides
3x ≤ 31
/3 on both sides
x ≤ 31/3
Then the second, -4x + 26 ≥ 6
-26 from both sides
-4x ≥ -20
/-4 on both sides
x ≥ 5
So x is greater than or equal to 5, which can also be written as 5 ≤ x
And for the first one, x is less than or equal to 31/3, which can still be written as x ≤ 31/3, so your final answer is:
5 ≤ x ≤ 31/3
