The answer is m = 7/5 (decimal form is 1.4)
If x = -b/2a, then 2a = -b / x so a = -b / 2x or a = b / -2x
So the denominator is -2x because it has to take the minus sign that the numerator refused to take ;-)
Answer:
The required equation is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
Let P represent the number of pages left to read after t hours.
Shryia read a 480-page-long book cover to cover in a single session, at a constant rate. After reading for 1.5 hours, she had 402 pages left to read.
Total number of page Shryia read in 1.5 hours is:
480-402 = 78
It is given that the rate is constant i.e 1.5 hours,
Therefore, she read 78 pages in 1.5 hours.
She can read
page per hour
The required equation is:

Where t represents the number of hours.
Answer:
78.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula to find area of a circle: A= pi*raduis to the second power
3.14*
First you square the 5
You do this by multiplying 5 times itself
3.14*25
Then you multilpy 3.14 and 25
78.5
Answer:
282.7
Step-by-step explanation:
surface area of cylinder = 2πR² + 2πRh
R = 3 cm
h = 12 cm
surface area of cylinder = 2π*3² + 2π*3*12 = 90π ≈ 90*3.14 ≈ 282.7 (cm²)
