Mathematics

Answer:

$x = -\dfrac{5}{3c}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You want x alone on the left side.

x is being multiplied by 3 and by c.

The opposite operation of multiplication is division. You must divide 3xc by 3c to end up with just x.

You must do the same operation to both sides of an equation, so divide both sides by 3c.

$3xc = -5$

Divide both sides by 3c.

$\dfrac{3xc}{3c} = \dfrac{-5}{3c}$

Simplify both sides.

$x = -\dfrac{5}{3c}$

Nancy's garden has the dimensions shown 4 1/2 yard<br><br> 3 3/4 yd . She need find the area

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The area of Nancy's garden is $16\frac{7}{8}\ yd^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that the Nancy's garden is a rectangle shape

To find the area first convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$4\frac{1}{2}\ yd=\frac{4*2+1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}\ yd$

$3\frac{3}{4}\ yd=\frac{3*4+3}{4}=\frac{15}{4}\ yd$

Therefore

The area is equal to

$A=\frac{9}{2}*\frac{15}{4}=\frac{135}{8}\ yd^{2}$

convert to mixed number

$\frac{135}{8}\ yd^{2=\frac{128}{8}+\frac{7}{8}=16\frac{7}{8}\ yd^{2}$

5. While bird watching, Gabrielle saw 6 robins and 3 blue jays.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Neither. They both saw the same amount of birds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gabrielle saw 9 birds, but so did Chase. 6+3 is 9. 3+6 is also 9. The commutative property of addition states that a+b=b+a.

lapo4ka [179]

S = a * b where a - <span>length and b - width
a = 24
b = 0.75 * a
S = 24 * 24 * 0.75 = 432</span>
