Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem is : −4.5 + 4.2 + 5.6 − 7.3

The order for solving an arithmetic problem is as follows :

  • Parentheses,
  • Exponentiation,
  • Multiplication,
  • Addition,
  • Subtraction,

We can rewrite the given problem as : 4.2 + 5.6 - 7.3 - 4.5

Taking 4.2 and 5.6 together in bracket : (4.2 + 5.6) - 7.3 - 4.5

= 9.8 - 7.3 - 4.5

= 2.5 - 4.5

= -2

Hence, the answer for given problem is -2, but Andrew get -21.6 which is wrong.

Write this as an equation in point-slope form Please answer as quickly as possible. 50 pts!!!!!
jeka57 [31]

The answer is:   "  y − 1  =  - 3(x + 2) " .
__________________________________________________________

Explanations: 
__________________________________________________________

<u>Note</u>:  The "point-slope form" of the equation of a line is:

                  →     " y − y₁ = m(x −x₁) " . 

We are given the slope,  m" , is:  " - 3 " ;  

We are given a point on the line [on the graph that is represented by this equation];  with the coordinates:  " (-2 , 1) " ;  

                          →   which is in the format: " (x₁ , y₁) " ;
                                      
                          →   As such:  " x₁  = -2 "  ;   " y₁  =  1 " ; 
_____________________________________________________
As aforementioned, the equation of a line in "point-slope form" ;  is:  
_________________________________________________________
                          →    " y − y₁ = m(x − x₁) " ;  

in which:
 
 →  "(x₁ , y₁) " represents the coordinates of a given point on the [line of the graph represented by the equation] ;  AND: 

 →   " m "  =   the slope of the line [represented by the equation] " ; 

We proceed by substituting our known values for "m" ;  "y₁" ; and "x₁" :
 
 →       " y − 1  =  - 3(x − (-2) ) "  ;   
_______________________________________________________                                                        
 →   Rewrite as:
_______________________________________________________
 →      "  y − 1  =  - 3(x + 2) "  ;  

 →    which is our answer;  since it is written in "point-slope form" .

Step-by-step explanation:

SE RESTAN ENTRE LOS NÚMEROS QUE TIENEN LA MISMA VARIAVLE.

(5x^{2} + 25x^{2}) - (8x - 16x) + (9 + 9) = 30x^{2} - 24x + 18

Clara estimates that the length of a hiking trail is 5.75 km. She later learns that its actual length is 6.25 km. What is the pe
antoniya [11.8K]
8.0% is the answer. To solve these problems just do actual length minus her guess which gives you 0.5. Then divide what you got by the actual length. 0.5 divided by 6.25 is 0.08. Multiply that by 100. 0.08 x 100 is 8 which means the answer is 8.0% :)
