Answer:

2.025

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, you don't necessarily need to find the exact values of a and b. Rather, find the value of (a+b) first, and then you can substitute it into the next equation. First, you can divide both sides of the first equation 2(a+b)= -8.1 by 2, to get (a+b)=-4.05. Now, subsitute the value of (a+b) into the second equation, -0.5(a+b), to get -0.5(-4.05). From here, you can calculate that -0.5 times -4.05 is  2.025. Hope this helped!

On Friday, Carlotta had 6/8 of her paper left to write. She wrote 2/6 of the paper on Saturday and ¼ of the paper on Sunday. At
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

\frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Skills needed: Fraction Subtraction, Least Common Denominator (LCD)</u>

1) \frac{6}{8} - \frac{2}{6} - \frac{1}{4} is the operation you would do.

--> You would do this because, Carlotta has \frac{6}{8} of the paper left, and does one fraction amount (\frac{2}{6}) on Saturday & does another fraction amount (\frac{1}{4}) on Sunday.

-->  Using subtraction is the best way

2) Now, we need to figure out the Least Common Denominator for all 3 fractions.

8,6,4 are the denominators.

The lowest number that is a factor of all them is 24.

So, it would then become \frac{18}{24} - \frac{8}{24} - \frac{6}{24}

This would become: \frac{18-8-6}{24} (18-8-6 = 4)

So then: \frac{4}{24} is your answer.

This simplifies into \frac{1}{6}.

Hope this helps and have a nice day!! :) :]

mojhsa [17]
The cost is 24 cents per foot.

We find this by dividing the cost of the roll by the number of feet in the roll:

47.03/200 = 0.235 ≈ 0.24

Two less than the product of 8 and a number is 8
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

x=1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us replace the number with the variable "x". You will then get this equation:

8x-2=8

Move the -2 to 8 and you would get the equation:

8x=8+2

Simplify:

8x=10

Simplify:

x=10/8

You would then get the answer "x=1.25"

I hope this helps :)
