Answer:

x = 3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

−1/2 − (−4/5) = x

First, switch sides.

x = −1/2 − (−4/5)

You are subtracting a negative number. Subtracting a negative number means add a positive number.

x = -1/2 + 4/5

Now you are adding two fractions, so you need a common denominator. The LCD of 2 and 5 is 10.

x = -5/10 + 8/10

x = 3/10

HELP!!!! Choose the correct answer. Which expression, when evaluated,

blagie [28]

We will check each options and verify it

(a)

$18-2m$

we can plug m=2

$18-2\times 2$

$18-4$

$14$

so, this is FALSE

(b)

$7x-\frac{x}{3} >19$

we can plug x=3

$7\times 3-\frac{3}{3} >19$

$21-1 >19$

$20 >19$

so, this is TRUE

(c)

$6x-1>4x+5$

we can plug x=3

$6\times 3-1>4\times 3+5$

$18-1>12+5$

$17>17$

so, this is FALSE

(d)

$2x^2-3x+1$

now, we can plug x=2

$2(2)^2-3(2)+1$

$8-6+1$

$3$

So, this is FALSE

A LITTLE HELP PLEASE?! Identify the variable expression that is NOT a polynomial.

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

A. 31

Explanation:

The answer is A because a polynomial has at least two integers(more than two numbers) and A is just one integer, someone could get confused thinking is C but its not because y³ means y×y×y, so that would not be the answer.
