Step-by-step explanation:

Un = -n²

it's a quadratic term but with minus sign, just it

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

We can easily calculate the amount of flower pots he can paint by dividing the amount of paint he has by how much paint each flower pot requires

$\frac{.75}{\frac{1}{34} } =25.5$

The closest number is 24 therefore your answer is C

Anyone got the answers for b and c

BaLLatris [955]

For letter b:

First times 5 on both sides to get rid of the denominator of 5

5 * y
— = 4 * 5
5

Then the answer is

y = 20

For letter c:

First move constants on one side, variables on the other

2g = 17 - 8

Then collect like terms:

2g = 9

Then divide both sides which would equal:

g = 9/2

At the bottom is a completed addition problem, with all the digits replaced by letters. Every letter represents a single digit a

Rashid [163]

Answer:

T = 5 (H = 7, M = 1); T = 7 (H = 4, M = 2); T = 9 (H = 1, M = 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know MH+MH+MH=TM

MH is a two digit number, and TM is also a two digit number.

MH+MH+MH=3*(MH)<100

3M<=9, meaning that M could be 1, 2, or 3.

If M=1, MH+MH+MH=3(10+H)=30+3H=TM=10*T+1

30+3H=10T+1, so 3H must include 1 in one's digit.

The only possibility is that 3H = 21, then H = 7

MH+MH+MH=17+17+17=TM=51, T = 5

If M=2, MH+MH+MH=3(20+H)=60+3H=TM=10T+2

60+3H=10T+2, so 3H must include 2 in one's digit.

The only possibility is 3H = 12, then H = 4

MH+MH+MH=24+24+24=72, T = 7

If M=3, MH+MH+MH=3(30+H)=90+3H=TM=10T+3

90+3H=10T+3, so 3H must include 3 in one's digit.

The only possibility is 3H = 3, then H =1

MH+MH+MH=31+31+31=93, T=9

Use the least commom denominator of 10 and 15 to solve 2/10+ 7/15

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The least common denominator of 10 and 15 is 30. It's easiest to use trial and error to find the LCD. In this case, just multiply both numbers by 2 and see if that works. Since 15 doesn't go into 20, I tried multiplying 15 by 2 instead, and got 30, which is divisible by 2. If that doesn't work, move on to multiplying them by 3, then 4 four, and so on. However, in this case, it did work, so, since you multiplied 15 by two to get 30, multiply 7 by two to get the fraction 14/30. Then, since you multiplied 10 by 3 to get 30, multiply 2 by 3 to get 6/30. Then, add the two together to get 20/30 and simplify the fraction to 2/3.

2/10 + 7/15 Given.
6/30 + 14/30 LCD.
20/30 Add.
2/3 Simplify.

A caterpillar is 2.83 centimeters long how long is it to the nearest whole number

Kruka [31]

To round 2.83 centimeters to the nearest whole number, use the following:
"five or above, give it a shove. four or below, keep it low."
So, since the number is 2.83, keep the 3 low (make it a zero)
Now the number is 2.8
Since 8 is over 5, you round up.
2.83 has become the whole number 3
