28. Since it’s smaller than the opposite side, it needs to be divided by 2. That’s how I was taught
-6/3 division sign 2/-9
To solve: multiply by reciprocal inverse
-6/3 x -9/2= 54/6 or 9
Answer:
6 lengths
Step-by-step explanation:
You essentially want the smallest integer solution to ...
60x ≥ 350
x ≥ 350/60
x ≥ 5 5/6
The smallest integer solution to this is x = 6.
The minimum number of lengths of hose needed is 6.
_____
Informally, you know that dividing the required total length by the length of one hose will tell you the number of required hoses. You also know the ratio 350/60 is equivalent to 35/6 and that this will be between 5 and 6. (5·6 = 30; 6·6 = 36) The next higher integer value will be 6.
D - -x^2 + 3x + 7
To find this, first write out the equation:
(3x + 1) - (x^2 - 6)
Distribute the negative into x^2 and -6 so you're equation now looks like this:
3 x + 1 - x^2 + 6
Combine like terms and arrange the equation into ax^2 + bx + c to get the final answer of:
-x^2 + 3x + 7
Hope this helps!
