Mathematics

Simplifying
8.7 = 3.5m + -2.5(5.4 + -6m)
8.7 = 3.5m + (5.4 * -2.5 + -6m * -2.5)
8.7 = 3.5m + (-13.5 + 15m)

Reorder the terms:
8.7 = -13.5 + 3.5m + 15m

Combine like terms: 3.5m + 15m = 18.5m
8.7 = -13.5 + 18.5m

Solving
8.7 = -13.5 + 18.5m

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-18.5m' to each side of the equation.
8.7 + -18.5m = -13.5 + 18.5m + -18.5m

Combine like terms: 18.5m + -18.5m = 0.0
8.7 + -18.5m = -13.5 + 0.0
8.7 + -18.5m = -13.5

Add '-8.7' to each side of the equation.
8.7 + -8.7 + -18.5m = -13.5 + -8.7

Combine like terms: 8.7 + -8.7 = 0.0
0.0 + -18.5m = -13.5 + -8.7
-18.5m = -13.5 + -8.7

Combine like terms: -13.5 + -8.7 = -22.2
-18.5m = -22.2

Divide each side by '-18.5'.
m = 1.2

Simplifying
m = 1.2

What does the ordered pair (6, 204) represent in this situation?
maxonik [38]

An ordered pair is a composition of the x coordinate (abscissa) and the y coordinate (ordinate), having two values written in a fixed order within parentheses. It helps to locate a point on the Cartesian plane for better visual comprehension. The numeric values in an ordered pair can be integers or fractions.

How to find lateral surface
ella [17]
To find the lateral surface area of a pyramid, you can find the area of each triangle, A = 1/2bh or A = 1/2lw, then multiply by the number of triangles, which would be based on the number of sides of the base; or you can take half the perimeter and multiply by the slant height.

4. Does the scatterplot have positive correlation, negative correlation, or no correlation?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Negative Correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the points are approximately lined up in a linear line pointing toward the bottom right, the slope of the best fit line would be a negative value. So the scatter plot shows a negative correlation.

Carlos has 24 balls of different colors: yellow, red, green, and blue. 17 balls are not red,10 balls are neither yellow nor blue
olga55 [171]

Answer:

10 green

Step-by-step explanation:

24 total balls. 17 Not red, so 24-17=7. 7 Red balls. That leaves 17 balls. 10 of them are neither yellow nor blue, and since the amount of red balls has been figured out, we do not need to account for them. 17 balls - 10 not yellow or blue equals 7 balls that can be yellow or blue. 17 balls left, minus the 7 yellow or blue balls equals 10.
