In my opinion it is always easier because a fraction like 5/6 and 1/4 is harder to add or subtract than .123 and .421

What is the product of (-a+3)(a+4)?<br><br> a^2-a+12<br> a^2-a-12<br> -a^2-a-12<br> -a^2-a+12
Damm [24]

Answer:

-a^2 + -a + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the following:

(3 - a) (a + 4)

(3 - a) (a + 4) = (3) (a) + (3) (4) + (-a) (a) + (-a) (4):

-a a + 3 a - 4 a + 3 4

3×4 = 12:

-a a + 3 a - 4 a + 12

-a a = -a^2:

-a^2 + 3 a - 4 a + 12

Grouping like terms, -a^2 + 3 a + 4 (-1) a + 12 = -a^2 + (3 a - 4 a) + 12:

-a^2 + (3 a - 4 a) + 12

3 a - 4 a = -a:

Answer: -a^2 + -a + 12

Calculate the slope of a line that passes through the points (3, -20) and (5, 8).
shtirl [24]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Use rise over run, (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the points:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(8 + 20) / (5 - 3)

28 / 2

= 14

So, the slope is 14.

a mechanic worked 20 hours. another mechanic worked 15 hours. together they charged a total of $1950. what was the rate charged
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: The mechanics both charged $70 and $45 per hour respectively

Step-by-step explanation: We shall start by calling the mechanics hourly rates x and y respectively. So if one worked for 20 hours and charged 20 times x dollars, and the other one worked for 15 hours and charged 15 times y dollars, totalling 1950 dollars, we can write the following expression,

20x + 15y = 1950

Also, if the sum of the two rates was 115 dollars, that means for working for an hour only, they both would earn

x + y = 115

We now have a pair of simultaneous equations

20x + 15y = 1950 --------(1)

x + y = 115 ------------------(2)

We shall use the substitution method for this problem.

From equation (2), make x the subject of the equation

x = 115 - y

Substitute for the value of x into equation (1)

20(115 - y) + 15y = 1950

2300 - 20y + 15y = 1950

By collecting like terms we now have

2300 - 1950 = 20y - 15y

(Note that when a negative value crosses to the other side of the equation, it becomes a positive value and vice versa)

350 = 5y

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

70 = y

We now substitute for the value of y into equation (2)

x + y = 115

x + 70 = 115

Subtract 70 from both sides of the equation

x = 45.

Therefore, the rate they charged per hour were $45 and $70 respectively.

before getting to school john has a few errands to run john has to walk 5 blocks to the galley and 9 blocks to the library befor
Serggg [28]

Answer:

  9 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of what John has already walked and the number more he must walk will be equal to the number he has to walk to get to school.

  12 + more = 5 + 9 + 7

  more = 9 + 5 + 7 - 12 . . . . . subtract 12 from both sides

  more = 9

John must walk 9 blocks more.

_____

We recognize that 5+7 = 12, so that last part of the sum totals zero.
