Answer:

A) $27 = b + 9$

$b=18$

Step-by-step explanation:

When given a balanced scale (represented by a hanger in this image), the sum of the values on one side equals the value on the other side. Thus, the equation that this hanger represents is the following:

$27 = b + 9$

Use inverse operations to solve this equation,

$27 = b + 9$

$-9$

$18 = b$

This seems like a lot more work than it is, but here we go
Simplifying<span>8 + -2y = 3y + -2
Reorder the terms: 8 + -2y = -2 + 3y
Solving 8 + -2y = -2 + 3y Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3y' to each side of the equation. 8 + -2y + -3y = -2 + 3y + -3y Combine like terms: -2y + -3y = -5y 8 + -5y = -2 + 3y + -3y
Combine like terms: 3y + -3y = 0 8 + -5y = -2 + 0 8 + -5y = -2 Add '-8' to each side of the equation. 8 + -8 + -5y = -2 + -8
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0 0 + -5y = -2 + -8 -5y = -2 + -8 Combine like terms: -2 + -8 = -10 -5y = -10
Divide each side by '-5'. y = 2
Simplifying y = 2</span>

Is 2/6 simplest form or not

s2008m [1.1K]

No, because you can simplify it even more if you divide by 2.
2/2=1
and 6/2=3

2/6 in simplest form is 1/3.

Calculate the area of the window using the dimensions given in Part A. SHOW YOUR WORK and EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING.

SashulF [63]

The shape of the window is a trapezoid, and the area of the window is 110.88 square feet

<h3>How to determine the area of the window?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Long base = 15.2 feet
Short base = 11.2 feet
Perpendicular height = 8.4 feet

The shape of the window is a trapezoid.

So, the area is:

Area = 0.5 * (Long + Short) * Height

This gives

Area = 0.5 * (15.2 + 11.2) * 8.4

Evaluate

Area = 110.88

Hence, the area of the window is 110.88 square feet
