Answer: a - 0.3.

Step-by-step explanation;

Let <em>a</em> represent the number of miles that Alicia ran. The equation will be this: a - 0.3. You will subtract 0.3 from the number of miles that Alicia ran because her amount is 0.3 miles farther than what Henry ran.

Which expression can be used to check the answer to 56 ÷ (-14) = n?
kozerog [31]
A. Multiplication is the ONLY function that reverses what division did. If you did 56/-14 = n, then n x -14 should equal 56.

Can you help me with some steps to approach this proof .
Elis [28]

To prove two sets are equal, you have to show they are both subsets of one another.

• <em>X</em> ∩ (⋃ ) = ⋃ {<em>X</em> ∩ <em>S</em> | <em>S</em> ∈ }

Let <em>x</em> ∈ <em>X</em> ∩ (⋃ ). Then <em>x</em> ∈ <em>X</em> and <em>x</em> ∈ ⋃ . The latter means that <em>x</em> ∈ <em>S</em> for an arbitrary set <em>S</em> ∈ . So <em>x</em> ∈ <em>X</em> and <em>x</em> ∈ <em>S</em>, meaning <em>x</em> ∈ <em>X</em> ∩ <em>S</em>. That is enough to say that <em>x</em> ∈ ⋃ {<em>X</em> ∩ <em>S</em> | <em>S</em> ∈ }. So <em>X</em> ∩ (⋃ ) ⊆ ⋃ {<em>X</em> ∩ <em>S</em> | <em>S</em> ∈ }.

For the other direction, the proof is essentially the reverse. Let <em>x</em> ∈ ⋃ {<em>X</em> ∩ <em>S</em> | <em>S</em> ∈ }. Then <em>x</em> ∈ <em>X</em> ∩ <em>S</em> for some <em>S</em> ∈ , so that <em>x</em> ∈ <em>X</em> and <em>x</em> ∈ <em>S</em>. Because <em>x</em> ∈ <em>S</em> and <em>S</em> ∈ , we have that <em>x</em> ∈ ⋃ , and so <em>x</em> ∈ <em>X</em> ∩ (⋃ ). So ⋃ {<em>X</em> ∩ <em>S</em> | <em>S</em> ∈ } ⊆ <em>X</em> ∩ (⋃ ).

• <em>X</em> ∪ (⋂ ) = ⋂ {<em>X</em> ∪ <em>S</em> | <em>S</em> ∈ }

Let <em>x</em> ∈ <em>X</em> ∪ (⋂ ). Then <em>x</em> ∈ <em>X</em> or <em>x</em> ∈ ⋂ . If <em>x</em> ∈ <em>X</em>, we're done because that would guarantee <em>x</em> ∈ <em>X</em> ∪ <em>S</em> for any set <em>S</em>, and hence <em>x</em> would belong to the intersection. If <em>x</em> ∈ ⋂ , then <em>x</em> ∈ <em>S</em> for all <em>S</em> ∈ , so that <em>x</em> ∈ <em>X</em> ∪ <em>S</em> for all <em>S</em>, and hence <em>x</em> is in the intersection. Therefore <em>X</em> ∪ (⋂ ) ⊆ ⋂ {<em>X</em> ∪ <em>S</em> | <em>S</em> ∈ }.

For the opposite direction, let <em>x</em> ∈ ⋂ {<em>X</em> ∪ <em>S</em> | <em>S</em> ∈ }. Then <em>x </em>∈ <em>X</em> ∪ <em>S</em> for all <em>S</em> ∈ . So <em>x</em> ∈ <em>X</em> or <em>x</em> ∈ <em>S</em> for all <em>S</em>. If <em>x</em> ∈ <em>X</em>, we're done. If <em>x</em> ∈ <em>S</em> for all <em>S</em> ∈ , then <em>x</em> ∈ ⋂ , and we're done. So ⋂ {<em>X</em> ∪ <em>S</em> | <em>S</em> ∈ } ⊆ <em>X</em> ∪ (⋂ ).

A square painting has a side length of 18 inches. What is the area of the painting?
WINSTONCH [101]
Hi! So because all the sides of the square are the same side, you multiple two of the side lengths together, so the area of the painting is 18 x 18 = 324  :) Good luck and do well in school!!!!!!!!

Find the equation of the line: With an x intercept of 4 and ay intercept of −1.5.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

y = (3/8)x - 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.  Substitute -1.5 for b, 4 for x and 0 for y.  Then:  0 = m(4) - 1.5, or

4m = 1.5, or

The slope is m = 1.5/4, or m = 0.375, or m = 3/8.

Note that the x-intercept can be treated just like any other point:  (4, 0)

Then the desired equation is     y = (3/8)x - 1.5
