If I'm doing this correctly, you would need to multiply everything inside the parenthesis by 8. So it would be 8x-24y·8x+24y. I'm sorry if that's not right, but that is my interpretation of the problem. Hope I was of some assistance :)
Answer:
Yes, it simplifies to 1/6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Both the top (numerator) and bottom (denominator) can be both divided by 3. 3 divided by 3 is 1. 18 divided by 3 is 6.
The trick to calculating the area here is to subdivide the diagram into smaller parts. For example, there's a 3 cm-by-3cm square. The rectangle is 4 cm by 8 cm.. The triangle has a base of 5 cm and a height of 3 cm.
Total area = area of square + area of rectangle + area of triangle
= 9 cm^2 + 32 cm^2 + (1/2)(5 cm)(3 cm)
= (9 + 32 + 7.5) cm^2
= 48.5 cm^2 (total area of figure)
The unit rate is 2.5 meters in 1 second
40/16=2.5
283.90 divided by 17 to get the hourly rate. Which is 16.7. Then you multiply by 20 hours and get 334
