4℉.

What we know about Degrees is that there is a Positive type and a negative type.

(i.e: 30℉ is positive and -30℉ is negative.)

If the temperature was -4℉ at 7AM, then it is negative. If it goes up by an amount that is more than 4 then that negative will go up to a positive temperature. In this case: At 9AM it was 8° warmer.

Warmer is a keyword. If it is warmer by an amount, Negative temperatures will go up to a positive and positive temperature will just go up. If it gets cooler, negative temperatures will go down further and positive temperatures will go down to a negative.

So lets work out this problem with our newfound knowledge.

-4° F at 7AM

8° warmer at 9AM

-4 + 8 = 4.

The temperature was 4° at 9AM.

Marco is making three tiles pictures. he uses 310 green tiles to make each picture. he uses 50 fewer red tiles than green tiles

Anettt [7]

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to first find the amount of red tiles he used by subtracting 50 from 310, and then finding the sum of the two numbers.

310 - 50 = 260

Now, we know that there are 260 red tiles.

3 * 310 = 930
3 * 260 = 780

930 + 780 = 1710

So, the answer is 1710 tiles total.

Hope this helps!

Which of the following is an extraneous solution of the square root of -3x-2=x+2

yarga [219]

Answer:

x=-6 is an extraneous solution

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$\sqrt{-3x-2} =x+2$

squared both sides

$-3x-2=(x+2)^2$

$-3x-2=x^2+4x+4$

$x^2+7x+6=0$

solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=-6 and x=-1

see the attached figure

Verify each solution

substitute the value of x in the original expression

For x=-6

$\sqrt{-3(-6)-2} =-6+2$

$\sqrt{16} =-4$

$4=-4$ ----> is not true

Is an extraneous solution

For x=-1

$\sqrt{-3(-1)-2} =-1+2$

$\sqrt{1} =1$

$1=1$ ----> is true

Is the solution

Compare 8 ⋅ 107 to 2 ⋅ 104. Plz Answer 25 Points!!!

Shalnov [3]

The answer is the first row.

Explanation:

8 * 10^7 = 80,000,000 -- 2 * 10^4 = 20,000

80,000,000 divided by 20,000 = 4,000, so it is 4,000 times larger

Therefore, the first answer is correct.

Hope I helped and good luck!

What is the unit rate of y = 2/3x ? ( must satisfy the definition of unit rate )

Nat2105 [25]

The unit rate is 2/3 because in the line y=2/3x, 2/3 is the slope (y=mx+b). The slope of the line is pretty much the definition of a unit rate because the unit rate is a constant addition or subtraction over and over. In addition, it is a straight line(y=mx+b) and the values are going up at a constant rate of 2/3.
