Building a is 160160 feet shorter than building

Serjik [45]

I assume the heights are 160 ft and 1480 ft.

The two heights are unknown, so we will use variable h to help solve the problem.
The shorter building, building A, has height h.
Since building A is shorter by 160 ft, then building B is taller by 160 ft, so the height of building B is h + 160.

Now we add our two heights to find the total height.

h + h + 160 is the total height.
We can write it as 2h + 160

We are told the total height is 1480 ft, so we let 2h + 160 equal 1480, and we have an equation.

2h + 160 = 1480

Subtract 160 from both sides

2h = 1320

Divide both sides by 2

h = 660

h + 160 = 820

Building A measures 660 ft.
building B measures 820 ft.

The first term of an arithmetic sequence is -2. The eighth term of the sequence is 26. What is the common difference of the arit

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

d = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₁ = - 2 and a₈ = 26 , then

- 2 + 7d = 26 ( add 2 to both sides (

7d = 28 ( divide both sides by 7 )

d = 4

For what values of a are the following expressions true?/a+5/=-5-a

katovenus [111]

Explanation:

The expression is given below as

$|a+5|=-5-a$

Concept:

We will apply the bsolute rule below

$\begin{gathered} if|u|=a,a>0 \\ then,u=a,u=-a \end{gathered}$

By applying the concept, we will have

$\begin{gathered} \lvert a+5\rvert=-5-a \\ a+5=-5-a,a+5=5+a \\ a+a=-5-5,a-a=5-5 \\ 2a=-10,0=0 \\ \frac{2a}{2}=\frac{-10}{2},0=0 \\ a=-5,0=0 \end{gathered}$

Hence,

The final answer is

$a\leq-5$

The length of a rectangle solid is 3.0 m the width is 0.6 meter, and the height is 0.4 meter. Find, to the nearest tenth, the nu

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

$0.72\,\,m^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of a rectangle solid = 3 m

Width of a rectangle solid = 0.6 m

Height of a rectangle solid = 0.4 m

To find: Volume of the solid

Solution:

Volume of the solid = length × breadth × height

$=3\times 0.6\times 0.4=0.72\,\,m^3$

So, the number of cubic meters in the volume of the solid is $0.72\,\,m^3$
