Greetings from Brasil...

Follow the reasoning.

288 ÷ 2 = 144

and 144 its a perfect square (144 = 12²)

It is visible that if we multiply 288 by 1/2, we will obtain a perfect square, but we will do this via a simple equation

288 · X = 144

X = 144 ÷ 288

X = 0,5 ⇔ X = 1/2

at franklin middle school,3/8 of the students take a bus to school, 3/5 walk, and the rest bike. There are 20 students who bike

Answer:

There are 800 kids in the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the answer (how many kids are in the school).

Let's add them together. 3/5+3/8 = how many people do not bike to school, which is 0.975 of everyone. 1-0.975 = 0.025, which means 0.025x = 20. 0.025x = 1/40, so 1/40x = 20. Multiplying, we have x =800.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: -4.3 feet

or -5.4 ft + 1.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

How I solved this is by reading this carefully , It said 1.1 feet above water so positive and -5.4 feet dive down so that is negative correct? so you would subtract - 5.4 + 1.1 which is -4.3

Am I correct?

Which of the following represents the solution set to the equation 2x^(2-3)= 64

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$x = \frac{1}{32} \\$

Step-by-step explanation:

${2x}^{(2 - 3)} = 64 \\ {2x}^{ - 1} = 64 \\ \frac{2}{x} = 64 \\ x \times \frac{2}{x} = 64 \times x \\ 2 = 64x \\ \frac{2}{64} = \frac{64x}{64} \\ \frac{1}{32} = x \\$
