1 5/6 −(x− 7/12 )+2 1/12 =0.9

The answer is x=3.6 or 3 3/5.

First we convert the decimal answer to a fraction; 0.9 is read as "nine tenths," so the corresponding fraction is 9/10:

1 5/6 - (x - 7/12) + 2 1/12 = 9/10

Now we find a common denominator.  The first thing that 6, 12 and 10 will all divide into is 60:

1 50/60 - (x - 35/60) + 2 5/60 = 54/60

Distributing the negative, we have:
1 50/60 - x + 35/60 + 2 5/60 = 54/60

Combining like terms, we have:
-x + 4 30/60 = 54/60

Subtracting 4 30/60 from each side, we have:
-x + 4 30/60 - 4 30/60 = 54/60 - 4 30/60
-x = -3 36/60

Divide both sides by -1:
-x/-1 = (-3 36/60)/-1
x = 3 36/60 = 3 3/5 = 3.6

How many social security numbers are available if the only restriction is that the number 000-00-0000 cannot be assigned?
harkovskaia [24]
Each digit can be 0-9 ( 10 numbers)
 there are 9 numbers in a social security number

multiply 10 nine times:
10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 =  1,000,000,000 ( 1 billion) possibilities.
 
 the restriction is it can't be all zeros so subtract 1 from the total
 1,000,000,000 - 1 = 999,999,999 combinations

What is the value of y in the equation 4(5y − 8 − 2) = 185 − 15? 8. 5 9. 7 10. 5 42. 5.
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

10.5 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

4(5y−8−2)=185−15

(4)(5y)+(4)(−8)+(4)(−2)=185+−15(Distribute)

20y+−32+−8=185+−15

(20y)+(−32+−8)=(185+−15)(Combine Like Terms)

20y+−40=170

20y−40=170

20y−40+40=170+40

20y=210

20y/20=210/20

y=21/2

y=10.5

1. Write a two-column proof for the following conjecture. You may not need to use all of the rows of the two-column table provid
marshall27 [118]

Answer:  

Given: ABCD is a parallelogram.

Prove: Angle A and B are supplementary and C and D are supplementary.

That is, m∠A + m∠B = 180° and m∠C + m∠D = 180°


                Statement                                                Reason

1. ABCD is a parallelogram              1. Given  

2.m∠A=m∠C and m∠B=m∠D         2. Definition of parallelogram.

3.m∠A+m∠B+m∠C+m∠D=360°      3. Definition of quadrilateral

4. m∠A+m∠B+m∠A+m∠B=360°     4. By substitution

⇒ 2( m∠A + m∠B ) = 360°

⇒ m∠A + m∠B = 180°

Similarly, m∠C + m∠D = 180°

5.∠A and ∠C are supplementary,  5. Def. of Supplementary

∠ B and ∠D are supplementary
