Answer:

The student made an error during the distributive property in the second step where they multiplied 0.15 by -0.2 to equal -0.3 when it should have been -0.03.

Step-by-step explanation:

$0.15(y-0.2)=2-0.5(1-y)\\0.15y-0.03=2-0.5+0.5y\\0.15y-0.03=1.5+0.5y\\100(0.15y-0.03)=100(1.5+0.5y)\\15y-3=150+50y\\15y-3-15y-150=150+50y-15y-150\\-153=35y\\-\frac{153}{35}=y$

Joseph received a $20 gift card for downloading music. Each downloaded song costs $1.29. Explain how to write and solve an inequ

poizon [28]

Let x be the number of songs downloaded.
Each song is $1.29; the total cost would be found by multiplying the cost by the number of songs, or 1.29x.
This cannot be more than 20, so we set this less than or equal to 20:
1.29x ≤ 20.

To solve this, we divide both sides by 1.29: 
 $\frac{1.29x}{1.29}$ ≤ $\frac{20}{1.29}$ ;
x ≤15.5.

We cannot download half of a song, so we round this down to 15 (although the number rounds up mathematically, he would not have enough money to download 16 songs). This means he can download at most 15 songs.

Circumference and Area questions look at the picture

Helga [31]

Note that the formula for the circumference of a circle is πd, while the formula for the area of a circle is πr².

π≈3.14

A. C=πd

Simply plug in the numbers into the formula.

Diameter=Radius*2

17*2=34

C=34(π)

B. (π)(5²)

Plug in the numbers into the formula. Remember that half of the diameter is the radius.

C. (π)(4.5)

There are two possible formulas that could be used to calculate the circumference of a circle: πd and 2πr.

The expression above is simply multiplying the circle's radius times pi. Therefore, it is not a method that could be used to find the circumference of a circle.

D. (π)(6.5²)

Remember that the formula for calculating the area of a circle is πr².

Half of the diameter is 6.5 (13.5/2=6.5). 6.5 cm. is the radius. Now just plug the numbers into the formula.

(π)(6.5²)

Therefore, the last answer choice is the correct answer.

Uhhhh last question lol I have to match them

Anarel [89]

Answer:

7. is 5 - 35n

8. is -6x - 24

9. is 15m - 30

10. is 24p - 28

11. is 5b - 5

12. 5x + 45

RULE:

WHEN MULTIPLYING TWO NEGATIVES YOU WILL GET POSITIVE.

IF ONE IS NEGATIVE AND THE OTHER IS POSITIVE WHEN MULTIPLYING IT WILL BE NEGATIVE.

WHEN MULTIPLYING TWO POSITIVE NUMBERS IT WILL ALWAYS BE POSITIVE

SAME THING IF YOU MULTIPLY A POSITIVE NUMBER WITH A NEGATIVE NUMBER YOU GET A NEGATIVE AS YOUR ANSWER

YOU NEED ONE SIGN OF THE SAME WHEN MULTIPLYING TO BE A POSITIVE AS YOUR ANSWER

YOU NEED ONE SIGN TO BE DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER WHEN MULTIPLYING TO GET A NEGATIVE AS YOUR ANSWER

How would I solve this equation for mass (m)?

zaharov [31]

Simple...

you have: $F= \frac{G m^{2} }{ d^{2} }$

You want to find m-->>>

1.)Isolate m

$d^{2} *F= \frac{G m^{2} }{ d^{2} } * d^{2}$

Leaving you with...

F* $d^{2}$ = $G m^{2}$

Keep isolating m-->>>

$F* d^{2} =G m^{2}$

$\frac{F* d^{2} }{G} = \frac{G m^{2} }{G}$

Square root to solve what just m is-->>>

$\sqrt{ \frac{F* d^{2} }{G} } = \sqrt{ m^{2} }$

= $\sqrt{ \frac{F* d^{2} }{G} } =m$

That is how you solve for m...

Thus, your answer.
