The seven is in the hundredths place.
Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set the ratio as
7x : 9x
If you add all the states that border an ocean and do not, you will get 48 states (because Alaska and Hawaii are not part of the continental US, as they do not touch the "main" part of the country)
So, we can write this equation.
7x + 9x = 48
Simplify.
16x = 48
Divide both sides by 16.
x = 4
Now, find how many states border an ocean. In our ratio, the number of states that border an ocean was 7x. Substitute x = 4 into 7x
7 * x = 7 * 4 = 28
The number of states that border an ocean is 28.
I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions!
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive
<h2><u><em>xoxo, </em></u></h2><h2><u><em>your highness...</em></u></h2>
To solve/simplify this all you have to do is group like terms (the x^2's with each other, the x's with each other, and the normal numbers, -8)
14x^2-8+5x-6x^2+2x
group the x^2 (add 14x^2 to -6x^2)
8x^2-8+5x+2x
group the x's together (add 5x and 2x together)
8x^2+7x-8
Your answer will be d) 8x^2+7x-8
