Answer:
-32
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to solve the numbers in the parenthesis which would be (8-4)= 4 then there is a 2 that you have to multiply which would be 4x2=8, then you have to solve the other parenthesis (4-8)=-4 so then you end up with 8x-4 which equals -32
Answer:
54kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Body weight = B
Tail weight = T
Head weight = H
Total weight = F
Use equation = B + T + H = F
We are told that T = 9kg, H = T + (1/3) x B, B = H + T
We have 3 equations and 3 unknowns, solve the system of equations to find W.
B = H + 9
H = 9 + 1/3 x (H+9)=9+H/3+3 --> 2/3 x H = 12 --> H = 18
B = 18 + 9 = 27
F = 18 + 27 + 9 = 54kg
Addition: -9 + -2 = -11
Substraction: -9 - 2 = -11
No because the perfect trinomial has a square as the third term and the middle term is a multiple of 2.
