Answer:

4.75 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the termites: 5 pounds

After the termites: 1/4 of a pound

Amount that the termites took: x

5 - x = 1/4

Add x to both sides of the equation

5 = 1/4 + x

Subtract 1/4 from both sides of the equation

4 3/4 = x

4 3/4 = 4.75

The termites took 4.75 pounds from the log

Hope this helps :)

For part A, The answer is that the car gets better gas mileage. We can see it from the graph that the number of gallons used is on the X axis, and the distance traveled using those number of gallons is on the Y axis. The easiest way to compare would be to look at the 1 gallon of gas. You can see that you can travel 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas. The truck on the other hand will get you 18 miles per gallon. Imagine putting 1 in for X, the Y value would be 18 if you did this. The graph just shows us a visual way of saying the same thing. To determine how much farther the car with a girl on 8 gallons of gas, you would just multiply 8 by 25 for the number of miles traveled by the car. You would multiply 8 by 18 to find the number of miles traveled for the truck. The answers are 200 miles for the car and 144 miles for the truck. 200-144=56 miles farther for the car.

Insert parentheses to make each statement true20-25

20: 30-4 x (2+5)=2
21. 17-(8-5)= 14
22. You put (10/2)-3+1, but it isn't necessary

Explanation: to solve these equations, use PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division.) these equations don't involve exponents, though, so ignore that part. If 30 is left alone, you would multiply 4x2 before doing anything else. This would mean you would have 30-8+5' which gets you to 27, an incorrect answer. However, if you put parentheses around (2+5), you add those first, meaning you would then have 30-4(2+5) = 30-4(7) = 30-28= 2.
