Answer:
the answer is 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
-(-D) = -(-1/2)
2 negatives make a positive so it would be 1/2 or in other cases, 0.5
Answer:
a) The volume of concrete needed in cubic feet is 2,112. b) The number of cubic yards of concrete needed in cubic yards is about 79. c) The cost of the concrete using cubic yards is $2,844.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The formula of the volume is l*w*d. 24 * 11 * 8 = 264 * 8 = 2,112.
b) The way to find this is that you take 2,112 and divide it by 27. Since the answer is 78.2 repeating, you round it up to 79 so it will fill up all of the concrete.
c) Since you need 79 cubic yards of concrete, you do 79 multiplied by $36 to get the total cost of $2,844.
-2 + 3b = 5b - 2(2b + 3) Distribute the -2 through the parentheses.
-2 + 3b = 5b - 4b - 6 Combine like terms
-2 + 3b = b - 6 Bring all "b's" to one side of the equation
-2 + 3b - b = b - b - 6 Combine like terms
-2 + 2b = -6 Bring the 2 to the right side of the equation
-2 + 2 + 2b = -6 + 2 Combine like terms
2b = -4 Isolate b by dividing both sides by 2
b = -4/2 = -2
Answer b = -2
