When approaching an equation such as this, it is important to consider the acronym PEMDAS, which stands for parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. According to these rules, as there are no numbers in brackets, the first thing you need to do is to add the exponent 2 to 8x.

Another stack of books is 43 inches tall. Each book is 1/2 inch thick. Write an expression that represents the number of books i
enyata [817]

Answer:

86 books

Step-by-step explanation:

A stack of books is 43 inches tall.

Each book is \frac{1}{2} inch thick.

To find the number of books in tha stack, divide the height of the stack by the height of the book:

43:\dfrac{1}{2}

The division by the fraction \frac{1}{2} is equivalent to the multiplication by the fraction \frac{2}{1}, so

43:\dfrac{1}{2}=43\cdot \dfrac{2}{1}=43\cdot 2=86

the area of a rectangular flower bed is 6.5sq.feet. the width of the flower bed is 0.75 feet. what is the length of the flower?
RSB [31]

width= w

length = l=w+5

Area = l * w

104  =(w+5) * w

w2 +5w -104 =0

(w+13)(w-8)=0

w=13 and w=8

so width =8

length=13

What is the area, in square units, of the polygon shown here?
WITCHER [35]
You just need to break it into parts. The first rectangle is the tall one. To find the area of this one, just multiply the tall side by the short side on top.

8 x 2 = 16

The second rectangle is the long one on the bottom. If the whole bottom side is 5 units, then you need to subtract 2 from that. 

3 x 1 = 3

16 + 3 = 19 units, so the area of the entire shape would be 19 units^2. Hope this helps! :)

josan and andrea are on a long distance bike ride. they decide they will stop for water if either of thier water bottles is less
nevsk [136]
If it is less than full it means it is anything below 5/5 or 6/6, so they both have less than full water bottles...

If you meant less than half full, Josan has 0.5/5 less than half, so yes, They should stop in this case as well.
