Answer:

The correct answer is

2\frac{2}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1

We want to simplify,

-2\frac{1}{9} -(-4\frac{1}{3})


The double negatives becomes positive,


=-2\frac{1}{9} +4\frac{1}{3}


We now add the whole number parts and the fractions separately


=-2+4-\frac{1}{9} +\frac{1}{3}


This will give us,

=2-\frac{1}{9} +\frac{1}{3}


The least common denominator for the fractional parts is 9.

=2+\frac{-1+3\times1}{9}


=2+\frac{-1+3}{9}


=2+\frac{2}{9}


=2\frac{2}{9}


Method 2

We want to simplify,

-2\frac{1}{9} -(-4\frac{1}{3})


The double negatives becomes positive,


=-2\frac{1}{9} +4\frac{1}{3}


We first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions to obtain,


=-\frac{2\times9+1}{9} +\frac{4\times3+1}{3}


We carry out the multiplication in the numerator to get,


=-\frac{18+1}{9} +\frac{12+1}{3}


We add in the numerator to get,

=-\frac{19}{9} +\frac{13}{3}

The least common denominator is 9.

=\frac{-19+13\times3}{9}


=\frac{-19+39}{9}

=\frac{20}{9}

We convert back to mixed numbers to get,

=2\frac{2}{9}

Using =2L+2W, Find L when P is 50 and W is 10
mestny [16]

Answer:

L = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2L + 2W

you know that P = 50, W=10

So you have to replace those values on the equation

50 = 2L + 2*(10)  --> Replace P and W

50 = 2L + 20  --> Multiply and now you are going to separate the unknown and the constants.

Remember that if you send a constant to the other side of the equal the sign will change to its opposite

50 - 20 = 2L  --> Solve the constants

30 = 2L    --> Now for the L, you have to leave it alone, so the 2 that is multiplying you have to send it to the other side of the equal but with the opposite operation,  the opposite operation of multiplying is dividing, so you have:

30/2 = L

L= 15

What's the value? A.-20 B.-4 C.4 D.20
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

<h2>-4</h2>

Option B is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

{(4 - 2)}^{3}  - 3 \times 4

Subtract the numbers

=  {(2)}^{3 } - 3 \times 4

Multiply the numbers

=  {(2)}^{3}  - 12

Evaluate the power

= 8 - 12

Calculate the difference

=  - 4

Hope this helps..

Best regards!!
