Answer:
No, Mia is not correct, the answer is -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we are going to use the distributive Property.
Step 1: 2(0.75+0.4). multiply the 2 out. .75m x 2=1.5m and 2 x .4= .8.
We get 1.5m+.8, so 2(0.75+0.4)=1.5m+.8
Now we are going to distribute on the oher side. 4(.5m-.8)
4x .5m=2m and 4x.8=3.2. Keep the sign the same and we get 2m-3.2, so 4(.5m-.8)=2m-3.2
We put this into the new equation to get 1.5m+.8+7.8=-6.4m+2m-3.2
Step 2: combine like terms
.8+7.8= 8.6 and -6.4m +2m =-4.4m
Plug that into our equation and we get 1.5mn+8.6=-4.4m-3.2
Step 3: Switch the sides
Bring -4.4m to the other side to get 1.5m+4.4m=5.9m
One side is 5.9m
We bring 8.6 to the other side to get -8.6. now we do -3.2-8.6=-11.8.
Our new equation is 5.9m=-11.8
divide by 5.9 on both sides to get our answer of
m=-2
Answer: 117.5
Explanation: Assuming that after 10 years the lawn mower would have a value of 0. We can evenly divide $470 by the amount of years.
$750/10 = $75
We would then multiply 75*7.5 years to then realize the value lost over that amount of time would be $352.5, subtracting that from the original value of $470 would then be 117.5
