Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

expanding the bracket, we would have

-2x -18 = -x+1+2

-2x+x= 3 +18

-x=21

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

−2(x+9)=−1(x+−1)+2

Use distributive property

-2x - 18 = -1x + 1 +2

-2x - 18 = -1x + 3

+18 +18

-2x = -1x +21

+1x +1x

___________

-x = 21

we need to have a positive x so multiply x by -1. -x times -1 = x

What we do on the left side has to happen to the right side too

So, 21 times -1 = -21

Therefore, x = -21

Hope this helps :)

Volunteers helped clean up 8.2 kg of trash in one neighborhood and 11 1/2 kg in another. They sent 1 1/4 kg to be recycled and t

Ivan

Answer: $18.45\ kg$ or $18\frac{9}{20}\ kg$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can convert from mixed numbers to decimal numbers:

$11\frac{1}{2}\ kg=(11+0.5)\ kg=11.5\ kg\\\\1\frac{1}{4}\ kg=(1+0.25)\ kg=1.25\ kg$

Since they cleaned up 8.2 kilograms of trash in one neighborhood and 11.5 kilograms in another neighborhood, the total trash they cleaned up was:

$Total=8.2\ kg+11.5\ kg\\\\Total=19.7\ kg$

We know that they sent 1.25 kilograms to be recycled. Then, in order to calculate how many kilograms of trash they threw away, we must subtract the total kilograms of trash they cleaned up and the kilograms they sent to be recycled.

Then:

$19.7\ kg-1.25\ kg=18.45\ kg$ or $18\frac{9}{20}\ kg$

Rewrite this number sentence 50 1/2 divided by 1/4 using multiplication

Shalnov [3]

This division question is asking how many 1/4 you can fit into 50 1/2.

We can fit 4 of them into 1 whole (4 x 1/4 = 1)
We can fit 8 of them into 2 wholes (8 x 1/4 = 2)

and so on.

But we have 50 1/2 wholes, so we would need 50 1/2 x 4.

The new number sentence is 50 1/2 x 4.
