Our answer is 2 3/8 or 19/8

Rewriting our equation with parts separated:

=<span> −7 −<span> 1/8 </span>+ 9 + <span>1/2

</span></span>Solving the whole number parts:
<span>
−7 + 9 = 2
</span><span>
Solving the fraction parts:
<span>−<span>1/8</span> +<span> 1/2</span> = ?

</span></span>
<span><span>Find the LCD of 1/8 and 1/2 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.
LCD = 8
<span>
−<span>1/8 </span>+ <span>4/8 </span>= <span>3/8</span></span></span>
</span>
Combining the whole and fraction parts:
<span><span>2 +<span> 3/8</span> = 2 <span>3/8 or if you simplify it, it will equal 19/8

Mrs. Nally's swimming pool is 10 feet by 6 feet. She paves the area around it with a sidewalk x feet wide, using 80 square feet
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The sidewalk is 2 feet wide

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the sidewalk is given as 80 square feet

The length and width of pool

including side walks will be;

10 + 2x and 6 + 2x

To get the area of the side walk

That will be area of total minus area of the pool

That will be ;

(10 + 2x)(6 + 2x) - 10(6) = 80

60 + 12x + 20x + 4x^2 - 60 = 80

4x^2 + 32x -80 = 0

x^2 + 8x -20

x^2 + 10x - 2x - 20 = 0

x(x + 10) -2(x + 10) = 0

(x-2)(x + 10) = 0

x = 2 or -10

since width cannot be negative;

The sidewalk is 2 feet wide

aalyn [17]
The answer is 3, because the other two sides are 3 and the angle is 60, so the other angles will have to be 60. That means it is an equilateral triangle.

How do u add and subtract decimals ?
Nikolay [14]

Write down the numbers, one under the other, with the decimal points lined up.  Put in zeros so the numbers have the same length,  Then add using column addition, remembering to put the decimal point in the answer. Do the same for subtracting.

Which equation of the line written in standard form has has a slope of 6 and contains the points (-1,-3)
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

keeping in mind that standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies 6 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-3)=6[x-(-1)]\implies y+3=6(x+1) \\\\\\ y+3=6x+6\implies y=6x+3\implies -6x+y=3\implies 6x-y=-3
