Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this equation by giving Sara's number a variable.

Let it be x.

Then we solve by simply interpreting the problem step by step.

"If you subtract 14 from my number..."

x - 14

"...and multiply the different by -4..."

-4(x-14)

"...the result is -80"

-4(x-14) = -80

Now that we have our equation, we can solve for x.

1.) Use distributive property to expand.

-4x + 56 = -80

2.) Subtract 56 from both sides

-4x = -136

3.) Divide by -4

x = 34

Sara's number is 34

Answer:

1.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.

We know:

Length of the sides of the triangle

We want to know:

Length of the hypotenuse

Using the Pythagorean theorem we have:

$d=\sqrt{3^{2} +3^{2} }\\d = \sqrt{2(3^2)} \\d = 3\sqrt{2} \\d = 4.2 miles$

Then, the distance that he would have saved if he travels directly is:

$3 + 3 - 4.2 = 1.8 miles$

Answer:

he would have saved:

1.8 miles

5.85 x 10^-3,

2.5 x 10^-1,

3.6 x 10^8,

8.5 x 10^8,

8.5 x 10^12

the smallest exponent is the smallest. Since 8.5 x 10^8 and 3.6 x 10^8 have the same exponent, go to the desimal
