Let us start with something we know is true.

5 > 3

That reads as 5 is greater than 3. Anyone will tell you that that is a true statement.

But what happens when you multiply this result by - 10

5 * -10 > 3 * - 10

- 50 > - 30 is that true? If you are not sure, think it terms of money. Which would you rather be

owing 50 dollars to some or owing 30 dollars to someone? Of course if you are careful with money you would likely say neither. But this is math so you have to choose.

You likely would have to say you would want to owe 30 dollars. That makes - 30 larger than - 50. So a true statement has now become a false one. Check with me if you don't understand. I'd like to know if you accept my explanation.

The Chang family is on their way home from a cross-country road trip. During the trip, the function D (t) = 3260 - 55t can be us

Lilit [14]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

D(t) = 3260 - 55t

The function that shows their distance from home as a function of time shows that they started 3260 miles from home and are driving at 55 miles per hour.

part a:

D(12) = 3260 55(12)

D(12) = 3260 - 660

D(12) = 2600

Interpretation: After 12 hours of driving home, they are 2600 miles from home.

part b:

D(t) = 2490

3260 - 55t = 2490

-55t = -770

t = 14

Interpretation: When they are 2490 miles from home, they have driven for 14 hours.

The midpoint of GH is M( 6,-4). One endpoint is G(8,-2). Find the coordinates of endpoint H.

Finger [1]

Using the midpoint formula, the coordinates of endpoint H are (4, -6).

<h3>The Midpoint Formula</h3>

The midpoint formula is given as: $(x_m, y_m) = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} )$

<em>Where</em>,

$(x_m, y_m)$ = coordinates of the midpoint

$(x_1, y_1)$ = coordinates of the first point

$(x_2, y_2)$ = coordinates of the second point

Given the following:

$(x_m, y_m)$ = M( 6,-4)

$(x_1, y_1)$ = G(8,-2)

$(x_2, y_2)$ = H(?, ?)

Plug in the values into the midpoint formula

$M(6, -4) = (\frac{8 + x_2}{2}, \frac{-2 + y_2}{2} )$

Solve for the x-coordinate and y-coordinate separately

$6 = \frac{8 + x_2}{2}$

Multiply both sides

$6 \times 2 = 8 + x_2\\\\12 = 8 + x_2\\\\12 - 8 = x_2\\\\4 = x_2\\\\\mathbf{x_2 = 4}$

$-4 = \frac{-2 + y_2}{2}\\\\-8 = -2 + y_2\\\\-8 + 2 = y_2\\\\-6 = y_2\\\\\mathbf{y_2 = -6}$

Therefore, using the midpoint formula, the coordinates of endpoint H are (4, -6).

Harry buys a TV priced at £1200 plus 20% VAT.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

£ 114

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Price of TV = £ 1200

VAT = 20%

Amount paid = £ 300

Amount paid monthly =.?

Next, we shall determine the VAT. This can be obtained as follow:

VAT = 20% of price of TV

VAT = 20/100 × 1200

VAT = £ 240

Next, we shall determine the total cost of the TV. This can be obtained as follow:

Price of TV = £ 1200

VAT = £ 240

Total cost of TV =?

Total cost = Price + VAT

Total cost = 1200 + 240

Total cost = £ 1440

Next, we shall determine the balance amount he needs to pay. This can be obtained as follow:

Total cost = £ 1440

Amount paid = £ 300

Balance amount =?

Balance = Total cost – Amount paid

Balance = 1440 – 300

Balance = £ 1140

Finally, we shall determine the amount Harry will pay month.

Balance Amount = £ 1140

Number of months = 10

Amount paid monthly =.?

Amount paid monthly = Balance / number of month

Amount paid monthly = 1140 / 10

Amount paid monthly = £ 114

Therefore, Harry will pay £ 114 monthly.

There are three separate, equal-size boxes, and inside each box there are four separate small boxes, and inside each of the smal

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

There are 51 boxes all together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are three separate, equal-size boxes, and inside each box there are four separate small boxes, and inside each of the small boxes there are three even smaller boxes, to determine how many boxes are there all together, the following calculation must be done:

3 + 3 x 4 + 3 x 4 x 3 = X

3 + 12 + 36 = X

51 = X

Therefore, there are 51 boxes all together.
