Answer:

Maureen ignored the negative(minus) sign in 1.7 thereby turning it into positive 1.7

Step-by-step explanation:

-1.7 + (-6.3)

Correct simplification

-1.7 + (-6.3)

Open parenthesis

= - 1.7 - 6.3

= -8

NOTE:

- * + = -

- * - = +

+ * - = -

+ * + = +

Maureen's simplification

-1.7 + (-6.3)

= 1.7 - 6.3

= -4.6

Maureen ignored the negative(minus) sign in 1.7 thereby turning it into positive 1.7

kirza4 [7]

QUESTION 1

When the plane reaches an altitude of 360,000 feet, the temperature outside the plane is 65 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.

This means that the temperature will be:

0-65=-65

The temperature is -65°F.

QUESTION 2

If the temperature gets warmer by 10 degrees, this means that the new temperature will be the sum of the original temperature and 10 degrees:

\Rightarrow-65+10=-55

The temperature is -55°F.

gretchen and Ezia received equal scores on a test made up of multiple choice questions and an essay. Gretchen got 18 multiple ch
timurjin [86]
The multiply choice were worth 4 points. 
Gretchen= 18x+19
Ezia= 15x+31

So basically you can enter any number. At first I picked 3 and then I did the math and I got 73 points for Gretchen and 76 points for Ezia. 

Then I pick four and then I got 91 points for them both. This is how I got the answer: 

18x+19=15x+31
18(4)+19=15(4)+31
72+19=60+31
91=91

James sets off from home on his bike.The graph shows his journey.A)what is James average speed on his outward journey?B)How long
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

a) ~10.58 km/h

b) 45 min

c) 15 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 45km for 4 hours and 15min (4.25 hours) = 45 / 45.25 ~= 10.58 km/h

b) From 4:15 to 5 = 45min

c) 45km for 3 hours (5:00 to 8:00) = 45 / 3 = 15 km/h

NOTE!

The author actually wanted the answer on A) to be 10 km/h and the journey to be 4.5 hours (4 hours 30min) but instead they made it 4.25 (as shown on the graph, since 1 square is 30 minutes).

Help me please<br>I want the step by step explanation!!​
DiKsa [7]

Answer: AB=√17, AD=√98,6

Step-by-step explanation:

AB²=BC²+AC²-2*BC*AC*cosACB

AB²=5²+4²-2*5*4*0,6=25+16-24=17

AB=√17

AD²=AC²+CD²-2*AC*CD*cosACD

cosACD=cos(180°-ACB)=-cosACB

AD²=4²+7²-2*4*7*(-0,6)=16+49+33,6=98,6

AD=√98,6
