Answer:
Maureen ignored the negative(minus) sign in 1.7 thereby turning it into positive 1.7
Step-by-step explanation:
-1.7 + (-6.3)
Correct simplification
-1.7 + (-6.3)
Open parenthesis
= - 1.7 - 6.3
= -8
NOTE:
- * + = -
- * - = +
+ * - = -
+ * + = +
Maureen's simplification
-1.7 + (-6.3)
= 1.7 - 6.3
= -4.6
Maureen ignored the negative(minus) sign in 1.7 thereby turning it into positive 1.7
First subtract the 7 from both sides and that would equal 2x+9=2x then subtract 2x and the answer is 9
The answer is 38,400
The scale is 1:40 so the side that is 4 in becomes 160 and the side that is 6 in becomes 240
Multiply 160 and 240 and that is the area of the room
Hope this helps
Answer:
144
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Data:</u>
<em>Emily's age</em> : 46 years old
<u>Find Colin's age</u>
<em>Colin's age</em>: 11 years older than Emily
Emily's age + 11
46 + 11 = 57 years old
<u>Find Dan's age</u>
<em>Dan's age</em>: 5 years younger than Emily
Emily's age - 5
46 - 5 = 41 years old
<u>Find their combined ages</u>
<em>Combined ages</em>: Emily's age + Colin's age + Dan's age
<em>Combined ages </em>= 46 + 57 + 41
Total = 144
Therefore, the total of their combined ages is 144.
