We need to start from the innermost parenthesis and work our way out.
The first parenthesis is 
. These are not like terms because one involves a variable, while the other is a constant term. Two terms are summable if they involve the same power(s) of the same variable(s).
So, we can take one step outwards, and we arrive to the square brackets. We have
and 2z and -13z are like terms, so we can sum them:
Finally we arrive to the whole expression, which is
Because, again, 5z and 11z were like terms.
Answer:
15/16-3/4 is 3/16. (1/8 simplified)
Step-by-step explanation: Let the 4 turn into a 16. Multiply 4 by 4 to get 16. Then, multiply the numerator by the number you multiplied for the denominator. 3x4 is 12. Now, can subtract. 15-12=3.
Answer:
This property states that if a = b, then b = a.
Step-by-step explanation:
That is, we can interchange the sides of an equation and the equation could still be true
Answer:
10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10, 20 x 20 x 10, 30 x 20
<span>The two fires are about 70 feet from each other.
The assumption is that the ground is relatively level and that a right triangle will be made with the three points of the triangle being the ranger, the spot on the ground directly beneath the ranger, and the fire itself. So the distance to the first fire will be:
Calculate the angle. That will be 90° - 11.6° = 78.4°
The distance will be
tan(78.4) = X/60
60 tan(78.4) = X
60 * 4.871620136 = X
292.2972082 = X
And that's how far the 1st fire is from the ranger's station. Now for the 2nd
angle = 90° - 9.4° = 80.6°
60 tan(80.6) = X
60 * 6.040510327 = X
362.4306196 = X
And the distance between the two fires will be the difference in distance from the tower, so
362.4306196 - 292.2972082 = 70.13341146
Rounding to 2 significant figures gives 70 feet.</span>
