You buy the same number of brushes, rollers, and paint cans. Write an expression in simplest form that represents the total amou

Soloha48 [4]

If you buy ' N ' of each item, then you'll pay 3.99N for brushes,
21.79N for cans of paint, and 6.89N for rollers.

The question assures us that you bought the same number of
each item. So your total bill at the hardware store checkout is

3.99N + 21.79N + 6.89N

= N (3.99 + 21.79 + 6.89)

= 32.67 N .

Identify the decimals labeled with the letters A, B, and C on the scale below. Letter A represents the decimal Letter B represen

Yuliya22 [10]

$10$ divisions between $389$ and $390$ so each division is $\frac{390-389}{10}=0.1$

A is 8 division from $389$, so, A is $389+8\times 0.1=389.8$

similarly, C is one division behind $389$ so it is $389-1\times 0.1=388.9$

and B is $390.3$

Point A(–4, 2) is reflected over the line x = 3 to create the point A'. What are the coordinates of A'?

iragen [17]

A ( - 4, 2)
Reflected over x = 3.
x = 3 is a vertical line, the point (-4, 2) is 7 units on the left side of the vertical line. When you reflect across the line to the right side we need to be 7 units away from the vertical line on the right side. 3 + 7 = 10
The x value would be 10. (10, 2)

Hello!

Here we are given a composite shape, meaning that we can divide this shape up into ways that we are given formulas to solve for legs and such.

I can see here that this can be divided into a triangle and a rectangle using a horizontal line.

The leg lengths of this triangle would be 9, because it is congruent to the bottom side of the rectangle, and 7, because it is the left side minus the right side.

This would also make a right triangle, meaning we could solve for the hypotenuse utilizing the Pythagorean Theorem.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$
