Answer:

$66,092.50

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1988, the car cost $17,000

Annual inflation over this period was 3.54% from 1988 to 2017

After adjusted for inflation, $17,000.00 in 1978 is equal to $66,092.50 in 2017

Therefore, the cost of that car in 2017 is closest to $66,092.50

The numeric value of the expression -a² - 2bc - |c| for a = -3, b = -5 and c = 2 is of 9.

<h3>How to find the numeric value of an expression?</h3>

The numeric value of an expression is found replacing each letter by it's attributed value.

In this problem, the expression is:

-a² - 2bc - |c|

The attributed values are:

a = -3, b = -5 and c = 2

Hence the numeric value will be given by:

-a² - 2bc - |c| = -(-3)² - 2(-5)(2) - |2| = -(9) + 20 - 2 = -9 + 18 = 9.

When you subtract one negative integer from another, will your answer be greater than or less than the integer you started with?

SVEN [57.7K]

So say for example u have -7 - (-5), think of subtracting integers as adding the opposite, so ur adding the opposite of -5, the opposite of -5 is 5, so ur adding -7 and 5= -2
another one: -15 - (-18)
again, adding the opposite. -15 plus positive 18= 3

Over the summer, Mr. Patel refilled a bird feeder 24 times using 6 cups of seed each time. A bag of seeds holds 32 cups. How man

Illusion [34]

Mr. Patel used 4.5 bags of seed

Solution:

Given that,

Over the summer, Mr. Patel refilled a bird feeder 24 times using 6 cups of seed each time

A bag of seeds holds 32 cups

1 bag of seed = 32 cups

Given that Patel refilled 24 times using 6 cups of seed each time

Then, the number of cups used for the 24 times is given as:

$6 \times 24 = 144$

Now we have to find the bags of seed needed for 144 cups

Let "x" be the number of bags of seed for 144 cups

From given,

1 bag of seed = 32 cups

"x" bags of seed = 144 cups

This forms a proportion and we can solve it by cross multiplying

$144 \times 1 = 32 \times x\\\\144 = 32x\\\\x = \frac{144}{32}\\\\x = 4.5$

Thus 4.5 bags of seed is used by Mr.patel
