A construction crew has repaired 1.37 miles of a highway. The total length of the highway to be repaired is 7.9. How many miles

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Part A: m+1.37=7.9

Part B: 6.53 miles are left to be repaired.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of repaired part = 1.37 miles

Total length to be repaired = 7.9 miles

Miles left to be repaired = m

Part A:

Create an equation to show the relationship between the number of miles repaired and the number of miles left to be repaired, m.

Miles left to be repaired + Length of repaired part = Total length to be repaired

m+1.37=7.9

Part B

How many miles are left to be repaired?

Subtracting 1.37 from both sides

6.53 miles are left to be repaired.

B) x = 7, y = 4 $\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

you can find the value of 'y' first by connecting the bases with another altitute measuring 4 units

you now have an isosceles triangle where each leg is 4 which makes the hypotenuse equal to 4 $\sqrt{2}$

to find 'x', it is the sum of 3 and 4

Simplify the following expressions. Put your a (3x³-5x² - 7+ 4x4) + (9x4 - 10x² - 5x³ + 3) =

leonid [27]

first we need to get rid of the ( ) so that we can see what the question really says

(3x³-5x² - 7+ 4x4) + (9x4 - 10x² - 5x³ + 3)

= 3x³-5x²-7+4x⁴+9x⁴-10x²-5x³+3

now all we need to do is add up the numbers with the same x's

3x³-5x²-7+4x⁴+9x⁴-10x²-5x³+3

= 13x⁴-2x³-15x²-4
