Answer:
Simplified: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify this, we need to first separate the terms in this expression. There is a property of exponents that says: 
We can do this same thing to simplify this expression. Next, we can simplify each of these terms. 
simply becomes 4. In the other term, the 
simply cancel each other and leave the 10. This means that we're left with 4*10, which is 40
Answer:
70 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of square is 5×10=50 plus the square of triangle, high of triangle is 18-10=8 and base of triangle is 5 because it common base with square, so the square of triangle is 1/2(8)(5)=20
The total area is 50+20=70 cm^2
For A:
You add the probabilities to get the answer to A: = .75, or 3/4
Note that the probability of ALL THREE of them hitting would be 1/3 x 1/4 x 1/5.
For B:
2/3 and 3/4 is the probability of the other two people MISSING (the remainder of 1/3, 1/4)
1.0 = 100% chance to hit the target, so 1.0 x 2/3 x 3/4 = 1/2
Mark's chance of hitting is 1/5, so do 1/2 x 1/5, = 1/10
-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1
Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts. First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable. I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.
-x - y = 8 add y to each side
-x = 8 + y divide by -1
x = -8 - y
So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation. In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.
2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1 combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1 add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15 divide each side by -3
y = -5
Now we have a value for y. We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x. I usually choose the most simple equation.
-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8 multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8 subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3 divide each side by -1
x = -3
So our solution set is
(-3, -5)
That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.
Answer:
- 1/24
Step-by-step explanation:
Keep multiplying by -1/2 to find the 'next' term
1/12 * - 1/2 = - 1/24
