Answer:

No, Mia is not correct, the answer is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we are going to use the distributive Property.

Step 1: 2(0.75+0.4). multiply the 2 out. .75m x 2=1.5m and 2 x .4= .8.

We get 1.5m+.8, so 2(0.75+0.4)=1.5m+.8

Now we are going to distribute on the oher side. 4(.5m-.8)

4x .5m=2m and 4x.8=3.2. Keep the sign the same and we get 2m-3.2, so 4(.5m-.8)=2m-3.2

We put this into the new equation to get 1.5m+.8+7.8=-6.4m+2m-3.2

Step 2: combine like terms

.8+7.8= 8.6 and -6.4m +2m =-4.4m

Plug that into our equation and we get 1.5mn+8.6=-4.4m-3.2

Step 3: Switch the sides

Bring -4.4m to the other side to get 1.5m+4.4m=5.9m

One side is 5.9m

We bring 8.6 to the other side to get -8.6. now we do -3.2-8.6=-11.8.

Our new equation is 5.9m=-11.8

divide by 5.9 on both sides to get our answer of

m=-2

the volume of a triangular prism is 42 cubic centimeters. what is the volume of a similar prism that is twice as large as large

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The volume of the similar prism is $336\ cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x----> the volume of the larger prism

y----> the volume of the smaller prism

$z^{3}=\frac{x}{y}$

In this problem we have

$z=2$ -----> the scale factor

$y=42\ cm^{3}$

substitute and solve for x

$x=42(2^{3})=336\ cm^{3}$

Answer:

the cell phone tower is 488 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

change 12 in = 1ft

4ft x ft

------------------- = ----------------

1ft shadow 122 ft shadow

using cross products

4 * 122 = 1 * x

What is the cross-sectional area of a wire if its outside diameter is 0.0625 inch?

Leno4ka [110]

Given that the diameter: d= 0.0625 inch.

So, radius of the wire : r = $\frac{0.0625}{2}$ = 0.03125 inch

Now the formula to find the cross-sectional area of wire ( circle) is:

A = πr²

= 3.14 * (0.03125)² Since, π = 3.14 and r = 0.03125

=3.14 * 0.000976563

= 0.003066406

= 0.00307 (Rounded to 5 decimal places).

Hence, cross-sectional area of a wire is 0.00307 square inches.

Hope this helps you!

How many solutions does the system of equations have?<br> 6x+y=2<br> -18x+3y=12

Tamiku [17]

There will be one solution. To solve that:
1. Get the y alone by switching the places.
6x+y=2 > y=2-6x
-18x+3y=12 > 3y=12-18x > Then divide 3 on each number > y=4-6x
After doing that, you can solve this in graphing or algebra way.

Ima do the algebra way:

SO we have 2 system of equations. Now pick one equestion.
I will pick, y=2-6x. Now Ima replace the Y with the other equation y=4-6x >
4-6x=2-6x.

Now solve. And get > 0 aka Infinite Solution.

The path of a football kicked by a field goal kicker can be modeled by the equation y = –0.03x2 + 1.53x, where x is the horizont

netineya [11]

This is the equation of an upside down parabola, so the maximum height will be at the vertex. To find the vertex, we'll use the formula for the x-coordinate and then solve for the y-coordinate.
$x=\frac{-1.53}{2*-.03}=25.5$

Plugging this into the given formula:
$y=-0.03(25.5)^2+1.53(25.5)=19.5075$
Since it asks us to round, the maximum height would be 20 yards. To find how far the football travels in total, we need to set the equation equal to 0 and find the roots:
$0=-0.03x^2+1.53x=x(-0.03x+1.53)$

Then by the zero product property (or the no zero divisors rule), we have:
$x=0$ (this is the x value where the ball is kicked from)
$-0.03x+1.53=0$
$-0.03x=-1.53$
$x=51$

So the ball travels 51 yards in total.
