If P =4 q=-2 r = 3 s =-5find pq + rs

1 answer:

6 0

PQ+RS
I’m assuming are multiplying each variable together so...

P=4
Q=-2

4 x -2 = -8

R=3
S=-5

3 x -5=-15

Final Solution: -8+(-15)=-23

The temperature at 12:00 p.m. was 8°C. At 7:00 p.m., the temperature was -6°C. What was the change in temperature (in degrees Ce

Alik [6]

Answer: 14-degree decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

because it is getting colder and we know this because anytime temperature goes from positive to negative it becomes mad cold.

Anyways subtracting 14 from our initial temp at 8 degrees celsius brings us to a brisk -6 celsius

The graph of the parent function f(x) = x3 is translated such that the resulting graph can be represented by the function g(x) =

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Translated 1 to the right and up one

Step-by-step explanation:

When the number is inside the parenthesis with x, that value represents a horizontal shift. because the original equation is (x-h), the opposite sign of the x value must be taken. so in this case the x value would be +1 because that is the opposite of -1, which means the function is being moved one to the right. when the number is being added to the outiside of the parenthesis, then you take that value for the vertical translations of the graph. because the original equation is (x-h)+k, then in this case there would be a vertical shift up by 1

2/7m-1/7=3/14 solve step by step

yulyashka [42]

Solution for $\frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14} \ is \ m = \frac{5}{4} \ or \ m = 1\frac{1}{4} \ or \ m = 1.25$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

It is a case about one variable linear quations and we have to solve the equation to get the variable m. There are two ways to solve it!

Our main plan is to isolate the variable m alone at the end of the process on one side of the equation until the variable will be equal to the value on the opposite side.

<u>First way</u>

$\frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14}$

Let us add $\frac{1}{7}$ to both sides

$\frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} + \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{1}{7}$

$\frac{2}{7}m = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{1}{7}$

On the right side for the addition operation, we equate the common denominator by multiplying $\ \frac{1}{7} \ by \ \frac{2}{2}$

$\frac{2}{7}m = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{2}{14}$

Then we combine terms to get

$\frac{2}{7}m = \frac{5}{14}$

Divide by the coefficient of m, or in other words, multiply both sides by $\frac{7}{2}$

$\frac{2}{7}m \times \frac{7}{2} = \frac{5}{14} \times \frac{7}{2}$

Finally, the solution is obtained as follows

$m = \frac{35}{28}$

Simplify fractions, both the numerator and denominator are divided equally by 7.

$\boxed{ \ m = \frac{5}{4} \ }$

Convert into mixed fractions, we get:

$\boxed{ \ m = 1 \frac{1}{4} \ }$

In decimal form, we get

$m = 1 \frac{25}{100} \rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = 1.25 \ }$

<u>Second way (a quick way)</u>

$\frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14}$

Because the denominators 7 and 14 have LCM = 14, both sides are multiplied by 14 (LCM is the Least Common Multiple)

$14 \times \big( \frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} \big) = 14\times \big( \frac{3}{14} \big)$

We use the distributive property of multiplication on the left side

$\frac{28}{7}m - \frac{14}{7} = \frac{42}{14}$

or it can also directly lead to

$4m - 2 = 3$

Add 2 to both sides, we get

$4m = 5$

Divide by the coefficient of m, or in other words, both sides are divided by 4

$\boxed{ \ m = \frac{5}{4} \ }$

Or, $\boxed{ \ m = 1 \frac{1}{4} \ }$

Or, $m = 1 \frac{25}{100} \rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = 1.25 \ }$

Wanna check the solution into the equation?

$\big( \frac{2}{7} \times \frac{5}{4} \big) - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14}$

$\frac{10}{28} - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14}$

$\frac{5}{14} - \frac{2}{14} = \frac{3}{14}$

$\frac{3}{14} = \frac{3}{14}$

Both sides show the same value, so the solution is correct.

Note:

Remember, how to manipulate both sides of the equation with the algebraic properties of equality such as:

adding,
subtracting,
multiplying, and/or
dividing both sides of the equation with the same number.

In the form of fractions, the steps that must be considered are

equate the denominator,
simplify fractions, and
for the final answer, convert fractions to mixed fractions or decimal forms

All these processes can occur repeatedly until the isolated variables are obtained on one side of the equation.
