To find the number of red bricks used, you can create a part to part to whole ratio from the simple ratio of red to grey brick they give.

Then, use the total to create an equivalent ratio with the actual total number of bricks (140).

<u>5 red </u>    <u>100 red</u>
<u>2 grey</u> =  <u>40 grey</u>
7 total   140 total
<u>
</u>Each time, the simple ratio was multiplied by 20 to get the actual totals for each color.
<u>
</u>There were 100 red bricks used.<u>

Find the square root of -36.<br> A-6<br> B 6<br> C Cannot be done
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: C) Cannot be done

Taking the square root of a negative number is not possible unless you involve complex numbers. If your teacher has not introduced that topic yet, then you just simply say "cannot be done" or something along those lines.

Simplify these expressions. a.2r+3+4r. b.8+3d+d. c.mn+ (-3mm)+6 d. 10s + (-10) + (-4s)
Maru [420]

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Combine like terms</em>

a. 2r + 3 + 4r = (2r + 4r) + 3 = 6r + 3

b. 8 + 3d + d = (3d + d) + 8 = 4d + 8

c. mn + (-3mn) + 6 = (mn - 3mn) + 6 = -2mn + 6

d. 10s + (-10) + (-4s) = (10s - 4s) - 10 = 14s - 10

<em>Terms are called "like terms" if they have the same variable part (the same letters in the same powers). Like terms differ at most coefficient.</em>
