Answer:

<h3>1 gallon of paint can cover 60 square feet of wall.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 2 1/2 gallon of paint can cover 150 square feet of wall.

We need to find the the number of square feet that 1 gallon of paint can cover.

In order to find the number of number of square feet that 1 gallon of paint can cover, we just need to divide 150 square feet by 2 1/2 gallon.

2 1/2 gallon in decimal form could be written as 2.5 gallons.

Dividing 150 square feet by 2.5 gallon, we get

\frac{150}{2.5}=60

<h3>Therefore, 1 gallon of paint can cover 60 square feet of wall.</h3>

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Determining the length of BC</u>

From the diagram, it is clear that

  • The point B is located at (-8, 10) and point C is located at (8, 10)

Since points A and C are located on a horizontal straight line. Thus, the length of BC can be determined by counting the x-axis units from reaching x = -8 to x = 8. i.e. 8-(-8) = 8+8 = 16

Thus, the length of BC = 16 units

<u>Determining the length of CD</u>

Given

  • C (8, 10)
  • D (2, -2)

The distance between C(8, 10) and D(2, -2)

\mathrm{Compute\:the\:distance\:between\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}

CD=\sqrt{\left(2-8\right)^2+\left(-2-10\right)^2}

      =\sqrt{6^2+12^2}

      =\sqrt{36+144}

      =\sqrt{180}

      =\sqrt{36\times 5}

      =6\sqrt{5}

Thus, the length of CD =6\sqrt{5} units

<u>Determining the length of ED</u>

Given

  • E (-8, -4)
  • D (2, -2)

The distance between E(-8, -4) and D(2, -2)

ED=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-8\right)\right)^2+\left(-2-\left(-4\right)\right)^2}

      =\sqrt{10^2+2^2}

      =\sqrt{100+4}

      =\sqrt{104}

       =\sqrt{26\times \:4}

        =2\sqrt{26}

Thus, the length of ED =2\sqrt{26} units

<u>Determining the length of EB</u>

From the diagram, it is clear that

  • The point E is located at (-8, -4) and the point B is located at (-8, 10)

Since points E and B are located on a vertical straight line. Thus, the length of EB can be determined by counting the y-axis units from reaching y = -4 to y = 10. i.e. 10-(-4) = 10+4 = 14

Thus, the length of EB = 14 units

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations.
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Substitute y = x - 8 for y in 2x + 3y = 1:
2x + 3(x - 8) = 1
2x + 3x - 24 = 1
5x - 24 = 1
5x = 25
x =  5
Substitute 5 for x in y = x - 8 and 2x + 3y = 1
y = 5 - 8 --> y = -3
2(5) + 3y = 1 --> 10 + 3y = 1 --> 3y = -9 --> y = -3
x = 5 and y = -3

Describe how (2^3)(2^-4) can be simplified
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Add the exponents and keep the bases the same. Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying exponents with the same base number, you can add the powers. (If it was dividing, you would subtract the powers). You would then get 2^{-1}.

  • 2³ = 8,
  • 2² = 4,
  • 2^1 = 2,
  • 2^0 = 1

The pattern is to divide by 2. This means that 2^{-1} would be 1 ÷ 2 which is 1/2.

Tip: Any number to the power of -1 means to give its reciprocal.

Hope this helps!
