You "distributed" the negation inside the parenthesis. Let's focus on the \lnot (p\wedge \lnot q) part.

We can distribute the negation inside the parenthesis by negating every term, and switching and with or, and vice versa. So, you have

\lnot (p\wedge \lnot q) \equiv (\lnot p) (\lnot \wedge) (\lnot \lnot q)

Of course, writing \lnot \wedge is improper, I was just stressing the fact that we distributed the negation to every term in the parenthesis. So, since a double negation cancels out, you're left with

\lnot (p\wedge \lnot q) \equiv \lnot p \lor q

which of course implies that

\lnot (p\wedge \lnot q) \lor q \equiv (\lnot p \lor q) \lor q

Edit: I actually derived the expression in the opposite order, but since they are equivalent, it doesn't really matters where you start from and where you get to. Anyway, if you actually want to derive \lnot (p \wedge \lnot q) \lor r from (\lnot p \lor q), you simply have to negate the first parenthesis and distribute the negation as discussed.

with the exception of the first house, all the houses on sequence lane have an address whose numerical portions are greater than
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The address of Ainsley is 24 and that of Lane is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the houses on sequence lane have an address whose numerical portions are greater than that of the prior house.

Now, if Ainsley and Lane are next-door neighbors and the sum of the numerical portions of their addresses is 49.

Let the Ainsley has the address with numeric portion x, then Lane has the address with numeric portion x + 1.

Therefore, x + (x + 1) = 49

⇒ 2x = 48

⇒ x = 24

So, the address of Ainsley is 24 and that of Lane is 25. (Answer)

A full 12 hours would be 2×r×π=2×3×π

1/3 of that is:

1/3×2×3×π=2π

Luke bought 256256256 ounces of strawberries. He divided them evenly between 888 different pies. How many pounds of strawberries
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

2 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Luke bought 256 ounces of strawberries. He divided them evenly between 8 different pies. We are asked to find the pounds of strawberries that Luke put on each pie.

First of all, we will convert 256 ounces into pounds.

We know that 1 pound equals 16 ounces. To convert 256 ounces into pounds, we need to divide 256 by 16.

\text{256 ounces}=\frac{256}{16}\text{ pounds}=16\text{ pounds}

Now we will divide 16 pounds by 8 to find number of strawberries put on each pie.

\text{Pounds of strawberries on each pie}=\frac{16}{8}

\text{Pounds of strawberries on each pie}=2

Therefore, Luke put 2 pounds strawberries on each pie.
