The area is B(h) 1/2 which mean base times height divided my 1/2 since a triangle is half of a square

What is 9x-5-8+x= what
Elanso [62]
Hi there!

First you simplify.

Simplified = 9x+(−5)+(−8)+x

Then you combine the like terms.

<span><span><span><span><span>9x</span>+(<span>−5)</span></span>+(<span>−8)</span></span>+x (*-5 and -8 are like terms) (9x and x are like terms)

</span></span><span><span><span>Combined it's~ (<span><span>9x</span>+x</span>)</span>+<span>(<span><span>−5</span>+<span>−8</span></span>)

</span></span></span><span><span><span>Solve and that comes to 10x</span>+<span>−<span>13 which is your answer. :)

Hope this helps.

A Little help here 2!!
harina [27]

Answer:

Unit rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 3 feet per second or 6 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

In the given table shows the number of pictures taken and how much time it took.

For first camera;

Number of pictures (unit rate) per second = \frac{15}{3} =5 pictures.

For second Camera:

Number of picture per second = \frac{48}{8} =6 pictures.

For third Camera:

Number of picture per second = \frac{18}{6} =3 pictures.

The camera that takes picture the fastest is, Second Camera.

(a)

As per the given statement: At Davidson's Bike rentals, it costs $29 to rent a bike for 8 hour.

⇒ unit rate per dollar = \frac{Number of hours }{Total cost} = \frac{8}{29} = 0.2758620 hours

Therefore, 0.227 hours (nearest to hundredths) of bike use does a customer get per dollar.

(b)

Jessica bought 18 pounds of sugar for $10.

unit rate per dollar = \frac{18}{10} =1.8 pounds

therefore, 1.8 pounds of sugar did she get per dollar.

Ms. Liebowitz has a choice of driving or flying from Morgantown, West Virginia to Washington, D.C. for a one-day business trip.
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If she travels by air, she will be able to work seven hours in D.C. work four hours once there. Her expected income from each hour of work in D.C. is $40. This means that the total amount that she earns in 7 hours would be

40 × 7 = $280

if she drives, she will only have time to work four hours once there. This means that the total amount that she earns in 4 hours would be

40 × 4 = $160

The difference in both amounts would be

280 - 160 = $120

she will chose to fly if and only if the price differential (air cost minus driving cost) is less than $120

A garden measuring 9 meters by 4 meters is going to have a walkway constructed all around the perimeter, increasing the total ar
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

3 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pathway be x

Area: (9+2x)(4+2x)

36 + 8x + 18x + 4x²

4x² + 26x + 36

Increased area is 150:

4x² + 26x + 36 = 150

4x² + 26x - 114 = 0

2x² + 13x - 57 = 0

2x² + 19x - 6x - 57 = 0

x(2x + 19) - 3(2x + 19) = 0

(x - 3)(2x + 19) = 0

x = 3, x = -19/2
