Rewriting the question, the given lengths that were cut from the board were 30 3/4 inches, 12 1/4 inches, and 16 1/4 inches. To obtain the remaining length of the board, all of the measurements cut are to be added and subtracted from 72 inches. This is shown below:
30 3/4 + 12 1/4 + 16 1/4 = 237/4 = 59.25 inches.
Remaining length of board = 72 - 59.25 = 12.75 inches.
Therefore, there will be 12.75 inches remaining of the board.
Not really, If you use the Pythagorean theorem on all problems related to distance.. You won't always be able to solve it. It depends on the numbers.
So, false.
Answer:
-6
Step-by-step explanation:
14x+6=2(5+7x)
14x+6=10+14x
14x-14x=10-16
x= -6
Answer:
- one orange costs $0.35 and one grapefruit costs $0.45
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>let grapefruits be g , let oranges be o</em>
so first equation:
→2g + 3o = $1.95
→g = ($1.95 - 3o)/2
so second equation:
→ 3g + 2o = $2.05
→ g = ($2.05 - 2o)/3
Solving simultaneously:
→ ($2.05 - 2o)/3 = ($1.95 - 3o)/2
→ 2($2.05 - 2o) = 3($1.95 - 3o)
→ 4.1 - 4o = 5.85 - 9o
→ - 4o + 9o = 5.85 - 4.1
→ 5o = 1.75
→ o = $0.35
Therefore one orange costs $0.35
Then one grapefruit costs g → ($1.95 - 3o)/2
→ g = ($1.95 - 3(0.35))/2
→ g = 0.45
Therefore one grapefruit costs $0.45
Answer:
It could be any fraction such as -1/2, -4/5,-20/50, -1/3, -5/11 ...
As long as the fraction is larger than -1 but smaller than 0 it will work
