Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
First, multiply
-12*2+8*2/-5-(-7)
= -8/-5-(-7)
Second do -5-(-7)
= -8/2
= -4
Answer:
9(p + 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the unknown variable is p.
First of all, we know that the number is 9 times as big (multiplication) as the new number obtained through the addition of four to p i.e (p + 4).
Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;
9 * (p + 4) = 9(p + 4)
Simplifying further, we have;
9p + 36
Answer:
a. 1 1/8 b. 8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set this up as a proportion to solve. For part a. we know that 2/3 of the road is 3/4 mile long. 2/3 + 1/3 = the whole road, so we need how many miles of the road is 1/3 its length. Set up the proportion like this:

Cross multiplying gives you:

The 3's on the right cancel out nicely, leaving you with

To solve for x, multiply both sides by 3/2:
gives you

That means that the road is still missing 3/8 of a mile til it's finished. The length of the road is found by adding the 3/4 to the 3/8:

So the road is a total of 1 1/8 miles long.
For b. we need to find out how much of 1 1/8 is 1 mile:
1 mile = x * 9/8 and
x = 8/9. When 1 mile of the road is completed, that is 8/9 of the total length of the road completed.
