Answer:

Z = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) multiply bracket

-4 x 2z = - 8z

-4 x 6 = - 24

2) put back into equation

-8z - 24 - 12 =4

3) collect like terms

-8z - 36 =4

4) get z alone

-8z - 36=4

+36 +36

-8z = 40

5) find z

-8z =40

divide both sides by - 8

Z= - 5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(2z+6)-12 = 4

=> -8z - 24 - 12 = 4

=> -8z = 4 + 12 + 24

=> -8z = 40

$= > z = \frac{40}{ - 8}$

=> z = - 5 (Ans)

Suppose that a household's monthly water bill (in dollars) is a linear function of the amount of water the household uses (in hu

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

The monthly cost for 9 HCF is $38.54

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is missing; however, the question can still be solved

Given

Slope = 1.55

When monthly cost = $47.84, Amount of water = 15 HCF

Required

Determine the monthly cost for 9 HCF

From the question, we understand that it is a linear function;

Linear functions are of the form

$y = mx + b$

Where y is the function of x and m is the slope

In this case; the function is the monthly water bill

and x is the amount of water

Solving for b

When monthly cost = $47.84, Amount of water = 15 HCF

The function is as follows;

$47.84 = 1.55 * 15 + b$

$47.84 = 23.25 + b$

Subtract 23.25 from both sides

$47.84 - 23.25= 23.25 - 23.25 + b$

$24.59 = b$

$b = 24.59$

Solving for the monthly cost for 9 HCF

Here, we have that

$x = Amount\ of\ water = 9$

$m = Slope = 1.55$

$b = 24.59$

Substitute these values in the linear function; $y = mx + b$

$y = 1.55 * 9 + 24.59$

$y = 13.95 + 24.59$

$y = 38.54$

Hence, the monthly cost for 9 HCF is $38.54

How do you simplify 875/1000

OverLord2011 [107]

$Find\ GCF(875;\ 1000)$

$875|5\\175|5\\.\ 35|5\\.\ \ 7|7\\.\ \ 1|\\875=\fbox5\times\fbox5\times\fbox5\times7\\\\1000|5\\.\ 200|5\\.\ \ 40|5\\.\ \ \ 8|2\\.\ \ \ 4|2\\.\ \ \ 2|2\\.\ \ \ 1|\\1000=\fbox5\times\fbox5\times\fbox5\times2\times2\times2$

$GCF(875;\ 1000)=\fbox5\times\fbox5\times\fbox5=125\\\\\frac{875}{1000}=\frac{875:125}{1000:125}=\frac{7}{2\times2\times2}=\boxed{\frac{7}{8}}$
