Wes average rate of speed was 10.0 mph
Answer:
Two solutions (-4,-7) and (4,7)
Step-by-step explanation:
x = y + 3
x*y = 28
(y+3)*y=28
y^2+3y-28=0
(y+7)(y-4)=0
y=-7, y=4
x=-4, x=7
0.72
- .20
------------
0.52 (.20 is two tenths)
Hi! I'm happy to help!
Our town is composed of 2,000 people. Of those 2,000 people, 4/5 of them are middle class. The word 'of' usually means multiplication when it is in a word problem. So, we will multiply 2,000 by 4/5. When multiplying a whole number, we just multiply it by the numerator (top) and leave the denominator. (bottom)
2,000×4
8,000
8,000/5
Fractions are just a different way of putting division, so we can change this to a division problem:
8,000÷5=
1,600
1,600 of the people are middle class.
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
