Answer:

Distance between the police station and the fire station be 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance between the police station and the fire station be x miles.

The distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station.

Distance between the library and the police station =2x-3

Also, distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles.

2x-3=5\\2x=3+5\\2x=8\\x=\frac{8}{2}\\ x=4\,\,miles

x = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles 4x and x are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180; therefore we have

4x + x = 180

5x = 180

dividing both sides by 5 gives

x = 36

the measure of angle x is 36 and that of 4x is 4 * 36 = 144

The angle opposite to 4x also measures 144 and the one opposite to x is 36.

Camryn earns $198.60 per week. She works 15 hours each week. How much does Camryn earn per hour? P.S this is a unit rate questio
Musya8 [376]
Okay, so in order to find how much she earns per hour you'll take the salary she earns each week ($198.60) and divide that to how many hours she works every week (15 hours). It'll look like: 198.60 / 15= $13.24 per hour.

Hisako sells dolls at her doll store. If she sells a doll for $35, and there is 6% sales tax, what is the tax amount a customer
Sloan [31]

Given:

The price of a doll = $35

Sales tax = 6%

To find:

The tax amount that a customer will pay on one doll.

Solution:

The price of doll is $35 and the sales tax is 6%, so the tax amount on a doll is 6% of 35.

\text{Tax amount}=35\times \dfrac{6}{100}

\text{Tax amount}=\dfrac{210}{100}

\text{Tax amount}=\dfrac{21}{10}

\text{Tax amount}=2.1

Therefore, the tax amount that a customer will pay on one doll is $2.1.

Multiplying positive numbers always comes out positive, no matter how many there are.  So you can forget about the positive ones.

Every two negative numbers in a multiplication produce a positive.
Another way to say that is:  If the number of negative ones is EVEN,
the answer is positive, and if it's ODD, the answer is negative.

That monster product of eight numbers in problem #12 will be negative,
because there are an odd amount of negative factors in it.
