Answer:
the distributive property is supposed to simplify your equation
Step-by-step explanation:
-4.2 - 6y + 3.6
Answer:
I'm pretty sure it's +(-6).
Step-by-step explanation:
Basically for these, you find the slope. The slope equation is y1-y2/x1-x2.
Pick two points.
I'll just do (1,15) and (2,9).
15-9/1-2 = 6/-1 = -6.
I don't know if you were taught it this way, but my math teacher always told us that the rate of change had to be positive.
So you'd say the rate of change is +(-6), not -6.
Hope that sorta helped lol
Answer:
3.995
Step-by-step explanation:
A midpoint is defined as a point that is exactly in the middle between two other points. The midpoint between two numbers is the number exactly in the middle of the two numbers. Calculating the midpoint is the same thing as calculating the average of two numbers. Therefore, you can calculate the midpoint between any two numbers by adding them together and dividing by two.
A chord is a line segment that connects any two points on a circle.
Let t and p represent the numbers of turtles and pelicans, respectively.
... 2p + 4t = 114 . . . . . . . the number of legs is 114
... p + t = 34 . . . . . . . . . the number of animals is 34
Divide the first equation by 2 and subtract the second.
... (2p +4t)/2 - (p +t) = (114)/2 - 34
... t = 23 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
Then p = 34 - t = 11
There are 11 pelicans and 23 turtles.
_____
You can get to the same answer by considering the number of legs you would have if all the animals were pelicans. That would be 34*2 = 68. The is 46 fewer legs than there actually are. Each turtle that replaces one of those 34 pelicans adds 2 legs to the total, so to add 46 legs, we must replace 46/2 = 23 pelicans with turtles. That is, there are 23 turtles and 11 pelicans.
