Answer:
2(W - 5) ≤ -29
Step-by-step explanation:
"Twice the difference of a number and 5 is at most -29" can be expressed symbolically as follows:
2(W - 5) ≤ -29
Further explanations:
"the difference of a number and 5" is W - 5, and thus "Twice the difference of a number and 5" is 2(W - 5).
"x ≤ -29" states "x is at most -29."
2005:
Asset = 200,000 + 25,000 = 225,000
Liability = 30,000 + 8,000 = 38,000
2009
Asset = 180,000 + 18,000 + 20,000 = 218,000
Liability = 18,000 + 5,000 = 23,000
Assets decreased by 7,000. From 225,000 to 218,000
Liabilities decreased by 13,000. From 38,000 to 23,000
<span>a. From 2005 to 2009, both assets and liabilities decreased. </span>
Answer:
-88 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the relation ...
time = distance/speed
to compare the times in the two directions.
The wind speed is -88 miles per hour.
_____
The problem statement tells us the travel is slower <em>with</em> the wind than <em>against</em> the wind. Hence "with the wind" must be subtracting from the net speed. That is, the wind speed is negative.
The amount of fabric needed for Jimmy's costume is not stated, we can only determine the amount needed for Rob's costume, which makes it impossible to compare the amounts needed for both of their costumes. If this omission was an error, then you can find the difference between these amounts if the amount needed for Jimmy's costume is stated explicitly.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of yards of fabric needed for Robs costume is (7/8+1/2+1 3/4)÷2
Assuming 1 3/4 is a mixed fraction.
= (7/8 + 1/2 + 7/4) ÷ 2
= (7 + 4 + 2) ÷ (8 × 2)
= 13/16 yards
Suppose 2 yards of fabric is needed for Jimmy's costume, then comparing with Rob's yards, we see that Jimmy's costume requires (2 - 13/16 = 19/16) more yards than Rob's costume.
