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
5. Start by finding how many tiles make up the outer edge of the pool. We know that each tile is 3/4 foot, and that the entire length is 12 feet. So by doing a division, we'll find how many tiles there are:
12 ÷ 3/4 = 16. By looking at the picture, we can confirm this. By looking at the picture we also see that the pool is the same length as 14 tiles, so the fraction is 14/16 -> 7/8.
2/3 has the greatest Value
That's a quarter of the circle. So find the area of the circle, and divide by 4 to get the answer.
Circle area = 3.14*13^2 = 530.66
Answer = circle area / 4 = 132.665
Answer:
p(a) = -3/20
Step-by-step explanation:
p ( a +b) = p(a)+p(b)
1/10= p(a) +1/4
1/10 - 1/4 = p(a)
p(a) = -3/20
