1). Her walking pace is (1.75 miles) / (50 minutes).
If you want it in units of (miles per hour), do it like this:
(1.75 miles / 50 minutes) x (60 minutes / 1 hour)
= ( 1.75 x 60 / 50 ) miles per hour.
2). The average change was
(30 - 45) degrees / (5 minutes) .
I'm sure you can do the division and make an integer out of that.
3). Each bracelet cost $3.10.
Caroline bought five of them, so she spent $3.10 five times.
Either do the multiplication, or else write down $3.10 five times
and do the addition.
4). In order to factor the expression, the two terms would need
to have some common factor ... both terms need either a power
of 'x', or they need two numbers that have a common factor.
They don't both have an 'x', and 13 and 10 have no common factor.
5). Todd earned 'T' dollars.
Twice what Todd earned is 2T .
$350 more than that is 2T+350 .
The question says that 2,500 is exactly that amount,
so you can write
2T + 350 = 2,500
Subtract 350 from each side: 2T = 2,150
Divide each side by 2: (you can finish it now)
Answer:
8 and 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
10 3/4 - 2 1/2
3/4 - 1/2 = 1/4
10 - 2 = 8
-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1
Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts. First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable. I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.
-x - y = 8 add y to each side
-x = 8 + y divide by -1
x = -8 - y
So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation. In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.
2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1 combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1 add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15 divide each side by -3
y = -5
Now we have a value for y. We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x. I usually choose the most simple equation.
-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8 multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8 subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3 divide each side by -1
x = -3
So our solution set is
(-3, -5)
That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.
If n is the hypotenuse, then it is 37. L can't be the hypotenuse and if m is the hypotenuse then n is 32.878
