Answer:

For #1 a real life problem that could use this information would be "If a mud wall is built 24 feet high, and rain reduces the height by 6 feet every year, how long will it take the wall to disappear altogether?".

Step-by-step explanation:

When designing a problem like this when we already know the answer, use the y-intercept as a starting point. In this case, we start with a 24 foot wall.

Next use the rate as what changes for every unit. In this case, the height changes every year by -6.

Finally, the answer should always be the x-intercept.

8÷2(2+2)= what is the solution

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Add the things in the bracket first so
2+2 = 4
then you do the 8 ÷ 2 = 4

then you multiply them together. this is because the number next to the bracket has a hidden multiply sign so

4 x 4 = 16

answer is 16

Start with the equation 5 • 0 = 0 to explain why 5 • -2 must equal -10. Drag descriptions and equations to the table to complete

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The problem is telling us to start with the equation 5*0=0

2. Substitute. Any number plus its opposite is zero. Since the opposite of 10 is -10, 10+(-10)= 0: 5(10+-10)=0

3. 3 Use the distributive property. In other words multiply 5 by 10 and 5 by -10: 4·10+5·-10=0

4. Multiply. perform the first multiplication of step 4: 5·10=50, so: 50+4·-10=0

5. Subtract 50 from both sides. 50-50+5·-10=0-50; simplify the left side: 0+5·-10=0-40
