Two of your friends, Matt and Karen, both run to you to settle a dispute. They were working on a math problem, and got different
Anna11 [10]
So in matt's equation, he made a mistake in the a transision from line 2 to line 3 
in line 2:  -4(-2)2
in line 3: -4(4) 
the mistake is that -2 times 2 is not equal +4 it is equal to -4
also from lines 5 to 6 he made a mistake in order of opperations (mulit division then addition and subtract)
line 5: -10+30/5
line 6: 20/5

so he first subtracted 10 then divided, he should have divided then subtracted
so the equation should have equaled 

Karen used the correct (-) times (+) property and the order of operations
so Karen is correct and Matt is wrong.

Mr. Tragrr has $500.00 to spend at a bicycle store. All the prices listed down below include tax.
fgiga [73]

To answer the question, you need to determine the amount Mr. Traeger has left to spend, then find the maximum number of outfits that will cost less than that remaining amount.

Spent so far:

... 273.98 + 3×7.23 +42.36 = 338.03

Remaining available funds:

... 500.00 -338.03 = 161.97

The cycling outfits are about $80 (slightly less), and this amount is about $160 (slightly more), which is 2 × $80.

Mr. Traeger can buy two (2) cycling outfits with the remaining money.

_____

The remaining money is 161.97/78.12 = 2.0733 times the cost of a cycling outfit. We're sure he has no interest in purchasing a fraction of an outfit, so he can afford to buy 2 outfits.

A service station checks Mr. Smith's radiator and finds it contains only 40% antifreeze. If the radiator holds 20 quarts and is
storchak [24]

Answer:

8 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step One: Figure out how much 40% is by making an equation:</u>

<em>Since we are looking for a percentage, we use cross multiplication to find X.</em>

\frac{x}{20} = \frac{40}{100}

<u>Step Two: multiply 20 by 40 to start cross multiplying:</u>

<em>20 times 40 is 800, so replace the 40 by 800 in the equation.</em>

\frac{x}{20} = \frac{800}{100}

<u>Step Three: divide 800 by 100, and we will have X:</u>

<em>800/100=8</em>

<em><u>X=8 aka 8 quarts</u></em>

I hope this helps!

pls give thx and brainliest :D
