Answer:

To multiply two minus numbers they will result as a positive number.

the product of any numbers when there is a negtive will always have 2 negtives invlved form three numbers including the answer.

-4 x -1.5 is the same as 4 x 1.5

the answer is 6

Three numbers like -1 x 4 will also be 2 numbers of negative.

= -4

We change this to -4 x 1.5 and shows the answer as -6

But the question had 2 negative numbers already and the answer is just positive 6.

Having a small brain moment, can you please help and show work

Answer:

The value if x is 0.9875.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to get rid of brackets by expanding :

$0.5(2x + \frac{3}{4} ) - \frac{1}{3} (0.1 + x) = 1$

$0.5(2x) + 0.5( \frac{3}{4} ) - \frac{1}{3} (0.1) - \frac{1}{3} (x) = 1$

$x + \frac{3}{8} - \frac{1}{30} - \frac{1}{3} x = 1$

Next you have to collect like terms :

$x - \frac{1}{3} x + \frac{3}{8} - \frac{1}{30} = 1$

$\frac{2}{3} x + \frac{41}{120} = 1$

Lastly, you can solve x :

$\frac{2}{3} x = 1 - \frac{41}{120}$

$\frac{2}{3} x = \frac{79}{120}$

$x = \frac{79}{120} \div \frac{2}{3}$

$x = \frac{79}{80}$

$x = 0.9875$

Which of the following is the same as 1.207 x 107?

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

C. Or the third option

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply something by a power of ten the decimal moves either left or right by the exponent. That probably sounds really confusing but here are some examples. If you multiply a number by 10^4 the decimal will move right 4 places making the number larger. Meanwhile if you multiplied it by 10^-4 it will move to the left 4 places making the number smaller. In your case, when you multiply 1.207 by 10^7, the decimal moves places to the right which makes it 12,070,000

$Cost\ of\ per\ pound\ apple=Cost\ of\ per\ pound\ oranger=c\\\\$

Cost of Apples:

$Amount\ of\ apples=1.75\ pounds\\\\Cost\ of\ apples=Amount\times per\ pound\ cost\\\\Cost\ of\ apples=1.75\times c\\\\Cost\ of\ apples=1.75c$

Cost of oranges:

$Amount\ of\ oranges=2.05\ pounds\\\\Cost\ of\ oranges=Amount\times per\ pound\ cost\\\\Cost\ of\ oranges=2.05\times c\\\\Cost\ of\ oranges=2.05c$

Total cost:

$Total\ cost\ of\ fruits=cost\ of\ apple+cost\ of\ oranges\\\\Total\ cost\ of\ fruits=1.75c+2.05c\\\\After\ coupon\ cost=\$ 3.43\\\\ Original\ cost=After\ coupon\ cost+coupon\ amount\\\\ Original\ cost=3.43+0.75=4.18$

$1.75c+2.05c=4.18\\\\3.8c=4.18\\\\c=\frac{4.18}{3.8}\\\\c=1.1\\\\Per\ pound\ cost\ of\ fruits=\$1.1$
