0 because the -x cancels out the ones negative and 1 x 2 is 2. And 2-2 is 0

Weird. A period appears above this... huh.

Answer:

[Th]e cube has a greater value.

Step-by-step explanation:

What the word problem really wants us to get [is ]the question of 'Which is greater, A=6a^2 when 'a' [is] 18 or A=4 $\pi$ r^2 when r = 9? And here's how to solve that.

Starting with the[ c]ube we have A=6a^2. A bit t[o]o simple, right?

A=6(18)^2 Substitute numbers.

A=6(324) Solve ex[p]onents.

A=1944 Mult[i]ply.

So w[e] know that the cube is 1944 meters cube[d ] in area. But what about the more [f]ormidable sphere? Fo[r] it we need a slightly m[o]re co[m]plicated formula, A=4 $\pi$ r^2. However, instead of using the real pi I will be rounding to 3.14, since we have no calculator so anything more would take way too long and fry your[ bra]in.

A=4(3.14)(9)^2 Subst[i]tute numbers.

A=4(3.14)(81) Solve expone[n]ts.

A=12.56(81) Multip[ly].

A=1017.36 Multiply again[.]

Now, since I'm sure all of us can count, we know that 1944 is greater than 1017.36. Or in other words, the cube is bigger than the sphere.

And PLEASE don't copy this guys. Make your own iteration. Change it up!

irinina [24]

One of your friends gives you $10 for a charity walkathon -- this is your beginning amount.
Another friend gives you an amount per mile -- you will to calculate this value.
After 5 miles, you have raised $13.50 total --
-- Since one friend gave you $10.00, subtract this from the $13.50 to give you the amount by walking the 5 miles
-- $10.00 - $13.50 = $3.50
-- Since you walked 5 miles, divide $3.50 by 5 to give you $0.70 per mile earned.

So, an equation that represents the amount of money earned is: y = $0.70x+$10.00.
This is in slope-intercept form; the slope is $0.70 and represents the amount of money earned per mile and the intercept is $10.00 and represents the initial amount of money that you were given.

Order these ratios from least to greatest- 7:2, 12 to 4, 20/6, 21:14, 10:5 pls :,)

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

21:14, 10:5, 12 to 4, 20/6, and 7:2

Step-by-step explanation:

first simplify all the ratios.

the first one is already simplified

12 to 4 = 3 to 1

20/6 = 10/3

21:14 = 3:2

10:5 = 2:1

Next find the least common factor the the three digits, 1, 2, and 3 and which is 6.

Multiply the simplified factors into the least common factor. So 7:2 will be multiplied by 6 so it will be 21:6

Do it with the rest of the factors and get

21:6, 18 to 6, 20/6, 9:6, and 12:6

Finally order them from least to greatest,

9:6, 12:6, 18 to 6, 20/6, and 21:6

21:14, 10:5, 12 to 4, 20/6, and 7:2

Easy 20 points please tell me if I got it right and if not please tell me the right answer

mash [69]

Answer:

No, you are not correct.

It should look like this:

Prefer colorful decorations Prefer neutral decorations

Pay attention 20 25

to fashion

Do not pay

attention to 72 33

fashion

Step-by-step explanation:

33 is 22% of 150. In the question it states that 70% of people do not pay attention to fashion. We need to find the other 48% here. In order to do that we multiply .48 by 150. That gets us 72. To check that answer you can add both 72 and 33 and then divide by 150, which gets 70%.

To get the amount of people that prefer neutral decorations and pay attention to fashion we need to add up 20 + 72 + 33 and that equals 125. Next, we take 150 and minus 125 of it to get 25.

Hope this helps!!
