Answer:
b = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
27 divided by 6 = 4.5
45 divided by 10 = 4.5
- so, each point was multiplied by 4.5
8 times 4.5 = 36
well, we know it's a rectangle, so that means the sides JK = IL and JI = KL, so

Answer: |10 - (-8)|
The absolute value is 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between two numbers is a subtraction equation.
10 - (-8) Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive
10 + 8 = 18
If you look at it as the first negative sign means -1 multiplied by the next negative number, "Remember that a negative times a negative is a positive!"
Let the number of rows be = r
Let the number of seats per row be = s
we know that the number of seats is 126.
So, 
..... (1)
As given, there are five more seats per row than the number of rows, so we can say that:
Putting this in equation (1)
r=-14 and r=9 (neglecting the negative value) we get r=9
And s=r+5
so, s =9+5=14
Hence, there are 5 rows and 14 seats per row.
It takes him 35 + 4 = 39 total minutes one way, so it would take him 39 x 2 = 78 minutes for 1 round trip.
convert 5 hours and 12 minutes into minutes: 1 hour = 60 minutes.
5 hours x 60 minutes = 300 minutes.
300 + 12 = 312 total minutes for the week.
Divide total minutes by minutes per round trip:
312 / 78 = 4 round trips total
