1 - 4 = -3. -3 - 4 = -11.

subtract by -4 until you have 8 numbers.

then add al the numbers together.

1+-3+-7+-11+-15+-19+-23+-27 = -104

If you ride your bike 12 miles per hour, how long would it take<br> you to travel 72 miles ?
poizon [28]

Answer:

It would take 6 hours for you to travel 72 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a simple rule of three.

We have that:

Each hour, you ride 12 miles.

How many hours will take for you to travel 72 miles?

So:

1 hour - 12 miles

x hours - 72 miles

12x = 72

x = 72/12

x = 6

It would take 6 hours for you to travel 72 miles.

Is it possible for two numbers to have a difference of 8 and a sum of 1?
topjm [15]

Answer: yes , it is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y .Then , the sum of the two numbers will be x + y , and their difference will be x - y.

Combining the two , we have :

x + y = 1 ............................... equation 1

x - y = 8 ................................. equation 2

solving the system of linear equation by substitution method. From equation 1 , make x the subject of the formula ,

x = 1 - y ...................... equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2 ,

1 - y - y = 8

1 - 2y = 8

add 2y to both sides

1 = 8 + 2y

subtract 8 from both sides

1 - 8 = 2y

- 7 = 2y

divide through by 2

y = \frac{-7}{2}

y = - 3.5

substitute y = -3.5 into equation 3 to find the value of x , we have

x = 1 - y

x = 1 - ( - 3.5 )

x = 1 + 3.5

x = 4.5

Let us check :

x + y will be

4.5 + (-3.5) = 1

Also ,

x - y will be

4.5 - (-3.5)

⇒ 4.5 + 3.5 = 8

I am a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of opposite sides that are parallel, 2 pairs of sides that are of equal length,and 4 right ang
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape is of a rectangle who has got two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel and two pairs of sides that are of equal length of each other with all  the four right angles that makes up total angle of 360 degrees in total. It can be acquired that the area which is equal to length multiply by breadth.

Calculation,

A length of the rectangle is equal to each other,

Assuming it to be 3cm,

Breadth of it is equal to each other,

Assuming that to be 2cm,

Length x Breadth = Area

3 x 2 = 6cm to the power 2.
