Hi there! :) :D

Answer:

A. -9

*The answer must have a negative sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

Lesson: Dividing integers

First, you divide by the numbers from left to right.

$72/8=9$

It change positive to negative sign.

$72/9=8$

Then, you can also multiply by the numbers from left to right.

$9*8=72$

$8*9=72$

Final answer is -9

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

-Charlie

Thank you so much! :)

One warehouse had 185 tons of coal, another one had 237 tons. The first warehouse delivered 15 tons of coal to its clients daily

lianna [129]

Answer:

In 9 days will the second warehouse have 1.5 times more coal than the first one

Step-by-step explanation:

The coal left in warehouses after x days can be found using the equation:

first warehouse: 185 - 15x

second warehouse= 237-18x

Let the second warehouse have 1.5 times more coal than the first one after n days then

1.5 ×(185 - 15n)=237-18n which gives:
277,5-22,5n=237-18n and
40,5=4,5n
9=n

In how many ways can the letters of the

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The letter "BHUTAN" has to be arranged

For filing the first place of 6 letter word, we have 6 choices

Similarly for filling the second place of the word, we have 5 choices as 1 letter is already filled.

In this way, the remaining places can be filled in 4, 3, 2, and 1 way

On combining the above, 6 places can be filled in

$\Rightarrow 6\times 5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1=6!\\\Rightarrow 720\ \text{ways}$

Thus, option (b) is correct.

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x+2y=28

malfutka [58]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, place the given equation in slope-intercept form ( $y = mx +b$ format) to find its slope easier. Isolate the y:

$2x + 2y = 28\\2y = -2x + 28\\y = -x+14$

So, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = -x + 14$ . When an equation is in slope-intercept form, the $m$ , or the coefficient of the x-term, represents the slope. Thus, the slope for the given line would be -1.

2) Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other. We need to find the opposite reciprocal of -1, then.

To find the opposite reciprocal of a number, write the given number as a fraction first -- making -1 be written as $-\frac{1}{1}$ -- then switch the sign and flip the numerator and denominator. So, the opposite reciprocal of -1 is 1, and 1 is the slope of the perpendicular line.
