Step-by-step explanation:
(a + b)² = 9
(b + c)² = 25
(a + c)² = 81
Taking the square root:
a + b = ±3
b + c = ±5
a + c = ±9
By adding these three equations together and dividing both sides by 2, we get the value of a + b + c.
Possible combinations for a + b + c such that the sum is greater than or equal to 1 are:
a + b + c = (-3 + 5 + 9)/2 = 11/2
a + b + c = (3 − 5 + 9)/2 = 7/2
a + b + c = (3 + 5 + 9)/2 = 17/2
1/8 bowl.
1/2 = 4/8
1/4 = 2/8
1/8 = 1/8
4/8+2/8+1/8 = 7/8
1 - 7/8 = 1/8
Answer: -2 - (-7)
Step-by-step explanation: They both have the same outcome, 5. Which one is negative and one is positive. The last option is correct.
X = rate of mechanic who worked 5 hours
y = rate of mechanic who worked 15 hours
x + y = 200
5x + 15y = 1950
you find the first variable in one of the equations, then subsitute the result into the other equation. your answer would be:
the mechanic who worked for 5 hours charged $105 per hour, the one who worked 15 hours charged $95 per hour.
hope this helps :)
