X=y+1
Least possible value for y(y+1)? Well, it appears for y halfway between the roots (you know what a parabola is, don't you?). That y is -0.5, so let's calculate -0.5*0.5, which is -0.25.
The least possible value is -\frac{1}4
Well, not really :)) The two values must be both negative, so we can't take one of them to be 0.5! As we lower the values, however, the product grows, reaching 0 when x=0 and y=-1, and further increasing as x and y lower. Thus, we would actually take x=0 and y=-1.

Sum of the numbers m and n decreased by their product; write the algebraic expression​
Oduvanchick [21]
<h3>Answer:   m+n-mn</h3>

You can write mn as m*n

=================================

Explanation:

The sum is the result of adding two or more numbers. Saying the sum of m and n means m+n.

Then we subtract off the product of m and n. The product is the result of multiplying m and n. We say m*n or mn to indicate their product.

Overall, we end up with m+n-mn

Solving Equations<br> ve<br> x + 14 = 7x + 32 - 3x
Mkey [24]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x+14=7x+32−3x

x+14=7x+32+−3x

x+14=(7x+−3x)+(32)(Combine Like Terms)

x+14=4x+32

x+14=4x+32

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

x+14−4x=4x+32−4x

−3x+14=32

Step 3: Subtract 14 from both sides.

−3x+14−14=32−14

−3x=18

Step 4: Divide both sides by -3.

−3x/−3=18/−3

x=−6

The circumference is 12 mile. What is the diameter?
photoshop1234 [79]

To find the diameter of a circle, using only the circumference, you need to divide the circumference by π, or 3.14.

So in this case, you must divide 12 by 3.14, which gives you 3.82.

I even double checked this, and should be correct then.
