Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(m)=20-0.25m to represent the amount of money f(m) she has left after talking m minutes, the zero of the equation can be gotten by setting f(m) to 0

f(m)=20-0.25m

0 =20-0.25m

-20 = -0.25m

m = -20/-0.25

m = 80

Hence Trudy will have talked for 80minutes if she has no money left

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Part 1) $-17\frac{8}{9}$ -----> $-6\frac{4}{9}-3\frac{2}{9}-8\frac{2}{9}$

Part 2) $-15.11$ ------> $-12.48-(-2.99)-5.62$

Part 3) $-19\frac{8}{9}$ -----> $-19\frac{2}{9}-4\frac{1}{9}-(-3\frac{4}{9})$

Part 4) $-201.65$ -----> $-353.92-(-283.56)-131.29$

Part 5) $74$ ------> $83\frac{1}{5}-108\frac{2}{5}-(-99\frac{1}{5})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

$-6\frac{4}{9}-3\frac{2}{9}-8\frac{2}{9}$

To calculate the subtraction convert the mixed numbers to an improper fractions

$6\frac{4}{9}=\frac{6*9+4}{9}=\frac{58}{9}$

$3\frac{2}{9}=\frac{3*9+2}{9}=\frac{29}{9}$

$8\frac{2}{9}=\frac{8*9+2}{9}=\frac{74}{9}$

substitute

$-\frac{58}{9}-\frac{29}{9}-\frac{74}{9}=-\frac{(58+29+74)}{9}=-\frac{161}{9}$

Convert to mixed number

$-\frac{161}{9}=-(\frac{153}{9}+\frac{8}{9})=-17\frac{8}{9}$

Part 2) we have

$-12.48-(-2.99)-5.62$

To calculate the subtraction eliminate the parenthesis first

$-12.48-(-2.99)-5.62=-12.48+2.99-5.62=-15.11$

Part 3) we have

$-19\frac{2}{9}-4\frac{1}{9}-(-3\frac{4}{9})$

To calculate the subtraction convert the mixed numbers to an improper fractions

$19\frac{2}{9}=\frac{19*9+2}{9}=\frac{173}{9}$

$4\frac{1}{9}=\frac{4*9+1}{9}=\frac{37}{9}$

$3\frac{4}{9}=\frac{3*9+4}{9}=\frac{31}{9}$

substitute

$-\frac{173}{9}-\frac{37}{9}-(-\frac{31}{9})$

Eliminate the parenthesis

$-\frac{173}{9}-\frac{37}{9}+\frac{31}{9}=\frac{(-173-37+31)}{9}=-\frac{179}{9}$

Convert to mixed number

$-\frac{179}{9}=-(\frac{171}{9}+\frac{8}{9})=-19\frac{8}{9}$

Part 4) we have

$-353.92-(-283.56)-131.29$

To calculate the subtraction eliminate the parenthesis first

$-353.92+283.56-131.29=-201.65$

Part 5) we have

$83\frac{1}{5}-108\frac{2}{5}-(-99\frac{1}{5})$

To calculate the subtraction convert the mixed numbers to an improper fractions

$83\frac{1}{5}=\frac{83*5+1}{5}=\frac{416}{5}$

$108\frac{2}{5}=\frac{108*5+2}{5}=\frac{542}{5}$

$99\frac{1}{5}=\frac{99*5+1}{5}=\frac{496}{5}$

substitute

$\frac{416}{5}-\frac{542}{5}-(-\frac{496}{5})$

Eliminate the parenthesis

$\frac{416}{5}-\frac{542}{5}+\frac{496}{5}=\frac{(416-542+496)}{5}=\frac{370}{5}=74$

The ratio of length to width (measured in inches) in a rectangle is 4∶7. find the length of the rectangle if the area is known t

Len [333]

Hey mate
here is your answer

length and width are given in the ratio are ;(4:7)
area of rectangle = (l×b)
therefore,
4x×7x=700
28x^2=700
x^2=700/28
x^2=25
x=5
length =4x=4×5=20, lenght =20 and width =7x so, 7×5=35 width.....

What is the inverse function of d(x) = 2x - 4?

zysi [14]

Answer:

$d^{-1}$ (x) = $\frac{x+4}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

let d(x) = y and rearrange making x the subject, that is

2x - 4 = y ( add 4 to both sides )

2x = y + 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = $\frac{y+4}{2}$

Change y back into terms of x, so

$d^{-1}$ (x ) = $\frac{x+4}{2}$

On a coordinate grid, AB has an end point B at (24, 16). The midpoint of AB is P(4, -3). What is the y-coordinate of Point A?

inysia [295]

The y-coordinate of point A is -22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

B = (24,16)

P = (4,-3)

The formula for mid-point of AB will be given by:

$P = (\frac{x_A+x_B}{2} , \frac{y_A+y_B}{2})$

As we already know the y-coordinate of midpoint

We can put the formula's y coordinate equal to the given value

$\frac{y_A+y_B}{2} = -3\\\frac{y_A + 16}{2 } = -3\\y_A+16 = -3 * 2\\y_A +16 = -6\\y_A = -6-16\\y_A = -22$

Hence,

The y-coordinate of point A is -22
