Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem has got to be addition.

The sentence "Sarah is 6 years older than Amy." does not include any hint of subtracting, or multiplying.

A hint of multiplying in a expression would be the word 'times', like "Brandon is 6 times the age of Emily" which eliminates D.

A hint of subtraction in an expression would be the word 'less', like "Brandon is 6 less the age of Emily." which eliminates A and C.

The word 'older' indicates addition, or adding, and if it would have been subtraction, the keyword would be 'younger' because you are subtracting their age, like 19 - 11. The same goes with B, but adding.

Finally, we now know that it is B because there is no other addition choice.

I hope this helped. Please correct me if I am wrong.

muhammad, a shipping and receiving clerk uses 1 yard, 2 feet and 4 inches Of twine to wrap each carton he packs. he has to pack

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

He will need 51 yards, 1 foot and 8 inches twine to wrap 29 cartons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Muhammad uses 1 yard, 2 feet and 4 inches of twine to wrap each carton he packs.

We know that, 1 yard = 36 inches and 1 foot = 12 inches.

So, 1 yard, 2 feet and 4 inches $=[(1*36)+(2*12)+4]inches = 64$ inches.

That means, he uses 64 inches of twine to wrap each carton.

He has to pack 29 cartons today. So, the total length of the twine he will need $=(64*29) inches= 1856$ inches.

Now....

1856 inches

$=\frac{1856}{36} yards \\ \\= 51 \frac{5}{9} yards \\ \\= 51 yards+(\frac{5}{9}*36)inches \\ \\= 51 yards, 20 inches \\ \\= 51 yards, (12+8)inches \\ \\=51 yards, 1 foot, 8 inches.$

Thus, he will need 51 yards, 1 foot and 8 inches twine to wrap 29 cartons.

How do I work this out oof

kakasveta [241]

I am so sorry for giving you the wrong answer at first.

Here's the processs

1x=-0.5555

Move the decimal point in the repeating decimal one space forward

10x=-5.55555

Then subtract

10x=5.5555

x=-0.5555= 9x=-5

Divide both sides by 9

9x=-5

9x/9=-5/9

-5/9 is your final answer!

Hope this helps!

Find the equation of the tangent line at the point (1, 6). for y = 4 + 4x2 - 2x3.

Lostsunrise [7]

$y = 4 + 4 x^{2}-2x^{3} Lets \ write \ it \ y = -2 x^{3} +4 x^{2} +4
$
The tangential line at a certain point is just the derivative so.
$y ' = -6 x^{2} +8x$ . At the point (1,6) we plug the x value in and get the slope at the point (y ' = 2)

The tangential line at that point is
y - 6 = 2(x - 1) (this is the answer)
