The fair will be traveling to a place that uses the metric system. They received directions to their next stop, but they are in

kilometers. They will need to convert their distances in miles to kilometers. Arlene takes the number of miles, doubles it, and then subtracts 20% of the result. Raul divides the number of miles by 5, then multiplies the result by 8. Write an algebraic expression for each method. Are these expressions equivalent?

Answer:

2x - 0.4x ;

8x/5 ;

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of miles = x

Arlene:

Double number of miles = 2 * x = 2x

Subtract 20% of the result :

2x - 20% of 2x ;

2x - 0.4x

Raul:

Divides Number of miles by 5 ; x / 5

Multiplies result by 8 ;

8 * (x/5) = 8x /5

To know if expressions are equivalent :

Let x = 10 miles

Using Arlene's expression:

2x - 0.4x

x = 10

2(10) - 0.4(10) = 16

Using Raul's expression :

8x / 5

(8*10) / 5

80/5

= 16

Since they give the same result, we can conclude that the expression are equivalent

Find the equation of the line that cuts through (0,5) and (1,2)?
MArishka [77]

The equation of the line that cuts through (0,5) and (1,2) is y = -3x + 5

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that we have to find equation of the line that cuts through (0,5) and (1,2)

The equation of line passing through points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) is given as:

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Where "m" is the slope of line

Let us first find slope of line

<em><u>The slope of line is given as:</u></em>

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

\text{ Substituting }  (x_1, y_1) = (0, 5) \text{ and } (x_2, y_2) = (1, 2)

m=\frac{2-5}{1-0}=-3

<em><u>Thus the required equation of line is:</u></em>

y - 5 = -3(x - 0)\\\\y - 5 = -3x\\\\y = -3x + 5

Thus the equation of line is found

Chang knows one side of a triangle is 13 cm. Which set of two sides is possible for the lengths of the other two
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

8 cm and 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) The other two sides have to equal somethinng that is bigger than 13.

2) 5 cm + 8 cm = 13 cm, therefore, 5 cm and 8 cm is not the correct answer.

3) 6 cm + 7 cm = 13 cm, therefore, 6 cm and 7 cm is not the correct answer.

4) 7 cm + 2 cm = 9 cm, therefore, 7 cm and 2 cm is not the correct answer.

5) Finally, 8 cm + 9 cm = 17 cm, therefore, it is the correct answer since it has a bigger value than 13.

Hope this helps! :D
