50 1/2 = 50.5
50.5 + -12.3
When adding a negative number to a positive number, it basically becomes just subtraction so 50.5 + -12.3 means 50.5 - 12.3
50.5 - 12.3 = 38.2
A regular trapezoid is shown in the picture attached.
We know that:
DC = minor base = 4
AB = major base = 7
AD = BC = lateral sides or legs = 5
Since the two legs have the same length, the trapezoid is isosceles and we can calculate AH by the formula:
AH = (AB - DC) ÷ 2
= (7 - 5) ÷ 2
= 2 ÷ 2
= 1
Now, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem in order to calculate DH:
DH = √(AD² - AH²)
= √(5² - 1²)
= √(25 - 1)
= √24
= 2√6
Last, we have all the information needed in order to calculate the area by the formula:

A = (7 + 5) × 2√6 ÷ 2
= 12√6
The area of the regular trapezoid is
12√6 square units.
1/8 of all=mystery
mystery=3
'of' means multiply
therefor
1/8 times all=3
multiply both sides by 8/1 to clear fracion
all=24
The sale price S (in dollars) of an item is given by the formula
S=L−rL , where L is the list price (in dollars) and r is the discount rate.
Since, S = L -rL
rL = L -S
r = 
r = 
Since, the listed price of the shirt is $30, we have to find the discount rate.
Therefore, r =
is the discount rate.
The second step is wrong. What should've been done is to find greatest common factor (gcf) of 1/6 and -2. This is because you cannont add together a number with a variable to a number without a variable. So get the variable by itself by subtracting 1/6 from both sides.
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
Turn -2 into a fraction and find the gcf of -2 and 6:
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
1/5x = -2/1 — 1/6 ——> 1/5x = -12/6 — 1/6
1/5x = -13/6
Then divide each side by 1/5 to get the variable by itself; remeber: when dividing a fraction by a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal.
5/1 • 1/5x = -13/6 • 5/1
x = 65/6
Then, simplify
65/6} 10.83 or 10 83/100
