Answer:
carbon footprint
7.7 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
carbon dioxide produced by a car over 7 year period = 53.5 tons
To find,
carbon footprint <em>(tons of carbon dioxide per year)</em>
7 years ------> 53.5 tons
1 year -------> 53.9/7 tons
= 7.7 tons
tons of carbon dioxide produced per year = 7.7
80=-8a
We are trying to solve for a. So we need to get a alone. To do that we have to divide each side by -8.
80/-8= -8a/-8
Once you have solved each side you will get the following.
-10=a
Answer:
-2-2√3, -2+2√3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent one of the numbers. Then the other number is -4-x. We want the product to be -8:
x(-4-x) = -8
-4x -x^2 = -8 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
x^2 +4x = 8 . . . . . . multiply by -1
x^2 +4x +4 = 12 . . . add 4 to complete the square
(x +2)^2 = 12
x +2 = ±√12 = ±2√3
x = -2±2√3
The two numbers are -2-2√3 ≈ -5.4641, and -2+2√3 ≈ 1.4641.
