Answer:
-27
Step-by-step explanation:
-3*-3=9 and then 9*-3 = -27
In Step 2, Lara did not ensure that the second diamter was perpendicualr to the first diameter she drew.
The correct steps should be:
Step 1: Use the straightedge to draw a diameter of the circle. Label the points at which the diameter touches the circle as A and B.
Step 2: Draw a second diameter <em>perpendicular to the first diameter</em>. Label the points at which the second diameter touches the circle as C and D.
Step 3: Join the end points of the two diameters to form a square.
Answer:
Joseph caught 7 tadpoles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of tadpoles caught by Joseph be x
The number of tadpoles Wendy caught will be ;
9(x + 3)
After Joseph was upset, he released half of Wendy’s tadpole and then six times as many as Joseph caught swam away leaving Wendy with only three tadpoles left;
Hence, mathematically;
9(x + 3)/2 - 6x = 3
Multiply through be 2
9(x + 3) - 12x = 6
9x + 27 -12x = 6
9x -12x = 6-27
3x = 21
x = 21/3
x = 7
