Allen's work is not written properly so I have rearranged it as shown below:
Original problem) –8.3 + 9.2 – 4.4 + 3.7.
Step 1) −8.3 + 9.2 + 4.4 + 3.7 Additive inverse
Step 2) −8.3 + 4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7 Commutative property
Step 3) −8.3 + (4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7) Associative property
Step 4) −8.3 + 17.3
We can see that in step 1), Allen changed -4.4 into +4.4 using additive inverse. Notice that we are simplifying not eliminating -4.4 as we do in solving some equation. Hence using additive inverse is the wrong step.
Alen should have collect negative numbers together and positive numbers together.
Add the respective numbers then proceed to get the answer.
–8.3 + 9.2 – 4.4 + 3.7
= –8.3 – 4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7
= -12.7 + 12.9
= 0.2
Answer:
Ok thats really cool thanks :)
If the lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, then the lines are parallel.
Sa = 2pi r h + 2pi r²
= 1327.32 units squared
Answer:
36 ft by 16 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, you need to find dimensions of a rectangle such that the perimeter is 104 ft and the area is 576 ft. The perimeter is twice the sum of length and width, so the sum of length and width is 52 ft.
The area is the product of length and width, so if w represents the width, we have ...
w(52 -w) = 576
w² -52w = -576 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, multiply by -1
w² -52w +26² = 26² -576 . . . . . . complete the square
(w -26)² = 676 -576 = 100
w = 26 ±√100 = {16, 36}
If the width is the short dimension, it is 16 feet. Then the length is 36 feet.
