positive number times negative number is negative number "(+)(-) = (-)".
we change the mixed numbers to the improper fractions
125/21 = 150/x
cross multiply
125x = 3150
x = 3150/125
x = 25.2 lbs....rounded up = 26 lbs <==
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 12x
To make the polynomial a perfect square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)²
= x² + 12x + 6²
= x² + 12x + 36
= (x + 6)² ← a perfect square
Aftershocks occur after the most major part of an earth quake happens. Earthquakes occur at fault lines near the tectonic border. They occur because of the sudden movement for staying rigid while they were edging closer and closer. So the sudden movement releases a large amount of tension buried deep below the earth creating or resulting in an earthquake.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is about the benefits of estimation.
1300/13 is easy and results in 100.
1287/13 can be approximated by 1300/13: 1287/13 ≈ 100.
Actually, 1287 = 1300 - 13 = 13(99); just subtract 1 from 100.
So: 1287/13 = 1300 - 13 = 1287. A nice bit of mental math!
