First, let's substitute 2 for x in the expression, 3(4x-6)

3(4(2)-6) = 3(8-6) = 3(2) = 6

  1. The operations within the parenthesis should be done first.
  2. Multiplication is next. 4*2 = 8
  3. Then subtraction. 8-6 = 2
  4. Finally, multiply once again. 3*2 =6

Next, let's substitute 2 for x in the expression, 12x-18

12(2)-18 = 24-18 = 6

  1. Multiplication comes first in the order of operations. 12*2 = 24
  2. Then, subtraction. 24-18 = 6

The value of both expressions when substituting x for 2 is 6.

Using the ratio of perfect squares method, what is square root of 112 rounded to the nearest hundredth?
elixir [45]
First, you have to think of any perfect squares that multiply to 112. The only ones I can think of are 16 and 7. So now you have the square root of 16 * 7. Now you can reduce the 16 because the square root of 16 is 4. So the answer is 4 times the square root of 7.

You can work no more than 60 hours each week at your two jobs. Dog walking pays $7 per hour and your sales job at Computers &amp
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

You cannot work negative 3 hours, it's impossible. One possible solution would be to work 50 hours a week at dog walking for 7 dollars an hour, and 10 hours a week at Computers & More, Inc. for 12 dollars a week. This would give you 350 dollars from dog walking, and 120 dollars from Computers & More, Inc. This would be a total of 470 dollars.

This question is pretty confusing in the way that i'm not entirely sure what it wants the answer to be, but i'll do my best.

i used the simple interest formula to come up with the equations, and the formula is I = PRT, (I) being interest, (P) being the amount, (R) being the rate of interest, (T) being the time, in months

b = the balance on the customer's account
c = service charge
t = number of months

if b > 1000, then c = b*.008t
if b </= to 1000, then c = b*.012t
if b < 50, then c = t
if b = 0, then c = 0

it looks really confusing but i'm hoping it's lining up with what you're learning and not completely ?????

i created the restrictions with the inequalities based on the given information of what happens when a balance exceeds 1000, is less than 1000, is less than 50, and is 0.

i used the remainder of the given information in the problem to get the equations -- the interest rate for b > 1000 is 0.8%, which is .008, b </= 1000 is .012, and so on. i hope this wasn't too terribly confusing, and let me know if you have any questions about how i came up with the equations!!
