Answer:

Answer: b = 58/5 or 11 3/5 or 11.6 decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for b:

b - (3 + 2/5) = 8 + 1/5

Put 3 + 2/5 over the common denominator 5. 3 + 2/5 = (5×3)/5 + 2/5:

b - (5×3)/5 + 2/5 = 8 + 1/5

5×3 = 15:

b - (15/5 + 2/5) = 8 + 1/5

15/5 + 2/5 = (15 + 2)/5:

b - (15 + 2)/5 = 8 + 1/5

15 + 2 = 17:

b - 17/5 = 8 + 1/5

Put each term in b - 17/5 over the common denominator 5: b - 17/5 = (5 b)/5 - 17/5:

(5 b)/5 - 17/5 = 8 + 1/5

(5 b)/5 - 17/5 = (5 b - 17)/5:

(5 b - 17)/5 = 8 + 1/5

Put 8 + 1/5 over the common denominator 5. 8 + 1/5 = (5×8)/5 + 1/5:

(5 b - 17)/5 = (5×8)/5 + 1/5

5×8 = 40:

(5 b - 17)/5 = 40/5 + 1/5

40/5 + 1/5 = (40 + 1)/5:

(5 b - 17)/5 = (40 + 1)/5

40 + 1 = 41:

(5 b - 17)/5 = 41/5

Multiply both sides of (5 b - 17)/5 = 41/5 by 5:

(5 b - 17)/(5 1/5) = 1/5×1/(1/5) 41

1/5×1/(1/5) = 1:

5 b - 17 = 1/5×1/(1/5) 41

1/5×1/(1/5) = 1:

5 b - 17 = 41

Add 17 to both sides:

5 b + (17 - 17) = 17 + 41

17 - 17 = 0:

5 b = 41 + 17

41 + 17 = 58:

5 b = 58

Divide both sides of 5 b = 58 by 5:

(5 b)/5 = 58/5

5/5 = 1:

Answer: b = 58/5 or 11 3/5 or 11.6 decimal

IrinaK [193]

Answer: 1. Peer review involves scientists openly publishing details of the methods they used, the results of

their experiments, and the reasoning behind their hypotheses for other scientists working in the

same field to evaluate. = B true .

2. Data from controlled experiments can provide evidence that one variable causes another. = B true .

Step-by-step explanation:

Peer review is when a scientist conducts an experiment and then gives all of their information and findings to peers in order for them to follow the findings and see if the first findings are rational.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

According to the question, you need to find out the distance from your friend's house to school.

Firstly figure out the coordinate of your school and school. Then use formula of distance.

So, we find the coordinates as (7,7) and (5,0).

So, x 1 = 7 y1= 7

x 2 = 5 y2 = 0

~ Use distance formula.

$d = \sqrt{( {x2 - x1)}^{2} + ( {y2 - y1)}^{2} }$

~ Put all values.

$d = \sqrt{ {(5 - 7)}^{2} + ( {0 - 7)}^{2} }$

~ Simplify it.

$d = \sqrt{ {( - 2)}^{2} + {( - 7)}^{2} }$

$d = \sqrt{4 + 49}$

$d = \sqrt{53}$

D= 7.280

Therefore, the distance between your friend's house and your school is 7.3 units.

Hope it helps....
