Answer:

14.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance moved North = 12 miles

Distance moved West = 8 miles

Shortest distance to reach starting point :

Let shortest distance to reach starting point = d miles

Using the relation :

Longest side of a right angled triangle:

d = sqrt(8^2 + 12^2)

d = sqrt(64 + 144)

d = sqrt(208)

d = 14.422205

d = 14.4 miles (nearest tenth of a mile)

Solve -6f + 13 = 2f - 11​
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

f = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for f:

13 - 6 f = 2 f - 11

Subtract 2 f from both sides:

13 + (-6 f - 2 f) = (2 f - 2 f) - 11

-6 f - 2 f = -8 f:

-8 f + 13 = (2 f - 2 f) - 11

2 f - 2 f = 0:

13 - 8 f = -11

Subtract 13 from both sides:

(13 - 13) - 8 f = -13 - 11

13 - 13 = 0:

-8 f = -13 - 11

-13 - 11 = -24:

-8 f = -24

Divide both sides of -8 f = -24 by -8:

(-8 f)/(-8) = (-24)/(-8)

(-8)/(-8) = 1:

f = (-24)/(-8)

The gcd of -24 and -8 is -8, so (-24)/(-8) = (-8×3)/(-8×1) = (-8)/(-8)×3 = 3:

Answer:  f = 3

512*4 = 2048
2048 * 4 = 8192
