Answer:

2.625 pounds are left or 2 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

So if your going to be subtracting a fraction from a whole number your going to have to consider the fact that the whole number can be divided up into that fraction.

So in this equation we are subtracting 2 3/8 from 5, we are going to take one from 5 and make it into a fraction so we can subtract:

5 = 4 8/8

Now we subtract 2 3/8 from 4 8/8

4 8/8 - 2 3/8 = 2 5/8

so there's your answer 2 5/8 pounds are left over, but if you wanted the answer in a decimal you would divide 5 by 8:

5/8 = 0.625

you then add 0.625 to 2:

2 + 0.625 = 2.625

And that is also your answer: 2.625 lbs. were left over.

Answer: D. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y-1=2(x--2)

Change signs

y-1=2(x+2)

Expand parenthesis

y-1=2x+4

Add 1 on both sides to isolate "y"

y-1+1=2x+4+1

y=2x+4

So the slope is 2

Hope this helps!! :)

X^2=7^2+8^2-2(7)(8)(cos32)
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

x ≈4.244833711

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2=7^2+8^2-2(7)(8)(cos32)

Determine the powers

x^2=49+64-2(7)(8)(cos32)

Multiply from left to right

x^2 = 49+64 - 112cos32

x^2 = 49+64 - 94.98138677

Add and subtract

x^2 =113-94.98138677

x^2 = 18.01861323

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(18.01861323)

x = sqrt(18.01861323)

x ≈4.244833711

x^2 =113
