The slope can sometimes be called the gradient, and the equation for the gradient is (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). So therefore, you'd do: (-8 - 7)/(4 - -5) which is (-15)/9) which is -1 2/3 or -1.6 (recurring), which is your answer. I hope this helps! Let me know if I've confused you :)
3 boxes of computer diskettes at $8.99 per box = (3 * 8.99 = 26.97 )
2 packages of pens at $ 2.50 per package = (2 * 2.50 = 5.00 )
6 boxes of paper at $ 22.95 per box = (6 * 22.95 = 137.70)
1 printer ribbon at $25 each. = (1 * 25 = 25)
Add up (26.97+5.00+137.70+25 ) and the answer is = 194.67
- 4(20+22)
- 4(40+2)
This expression are equivalent to 4(42)
Everyone works differently in mental meth.
To calculate 9*52, we note that 9=10-1, so mentally calculate
9(52)
=(10-1)(52)
=520-52 [ subtract 20 from each number]
=(520-20)-(52-20)
=500-32
=468.
Alternatively,
9*52=9*50+9*2=450+18=468
If you're good with multiplication and division,
9*52=3*3(52)=3*156=450+18=468
