Answer:
144500
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Answer-</u>
<em>The total amount of water wasted this year is 6716 gallons.</em>
<u>Solution-</u>
A study indicated that the citizens of Morris-town wasted 5840 gallons of water last year.
This year they wasted 15% more than that amount they wasted previous year.
15% of 5840 is,
The total amount of water wasted this year =
The amount of water wasted previous year + 15% more of the amount of that
= 5840 + 876
= 6716 gallons
Therefore, the total amount of water wasted this year is 6716 gallons
So the question is asking: (x-4)(x-2)
because there is a bracket in between the two expressions it means we have to multiply them together: (x-4) x (x-2)
you can break down the question into smaller parts:
x multiply x
x multiply -2
-4 multiply x
-4 multiply -2
here are the answers:
x^2 (means x squared)
-2x
-4x
8 (because when you multiply two negative numbers it makes a positive)
now you put it into an expression (this is expanding):
x^2 - 2x - 4x + 8
to simplify it you collect like terms:
x^2 - 6x + 8
The above is the answer :)
Answer:
<h2>5 cm</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
step one:
Given that the scale of the map is
2cm to represent 30 miles
That is every 1 cm is 15 miles in reality
step one:
what we are solving for is the distance in cm on the map so,
1cm rep 15miles
xcm rep 75miles
cross multiply
Xcm= 75/15
X= 5 cm
hence on the map 75miles distance between the two towns is seen as 5 cm
