Use the distributive property and multiply everything in the parentheses by 14.
Leaving you with.. (70 - 3.5 x 350) + 2 / 4 x 1.
Then reduce the parentheses.
Leaving you with.. ( -1155) + 2 / 4 x 1
Then divide 2 by four.
Leaving you with.. (-1155) + .5
Answer.. -1,154.5
Answer:
m = 7.1
Step-by-step explanation:
3 (m -5) + 8 = 7 -1/2 (4m - 11)
So, what I did first was distribute the values in the parenthesis to get,
3m - 15 + 8 = 7 -2m -5.5
Now that we have the parenthesis taken care of we can do the simpler math,
3m - 23 = 7 -2m - 5.5
I just added the 15 and 8, so now I move the -5.5 to the opposite side by adding.
3m - 23 = 7 -2m -5.5
<u> +5.5 +5.5</u>
3m - 28.5 = 7 - 2m
Here we can do the same with the -2m.
3m - 28.5 = 7 - 2m
<u>+2m +2m</u>
5m - 28.5 = 7
To get rid of the -28.5 I added it to the 7 getting an answer of,
5m - 28.5 = 7
<u> + 28.5 +28.5</u>
5m = 35.5
Finally, divide 5m and 35.5 both by 5.
5m/5 = m
35.5/5 = 7.1
Answer: m=7.1
Sorry it's really long, but I hope this helps! Have a great day!
A ton is 2,000 pounds so multiply 2,000 x 18
2,000 x 18 = 36,000 pounds, now add the 42 pounds to the 36,000
36,000 + 42 = 36,042 pounds. Now divide 36,042 by 3
36,042 ÷ 3 = 12,014
Your answer is 12,014 pounds
If you need your answer in tons it's 6.007 tons
Calculations for pounds to tons
12,014 ÷ 2,000 = 6.007
Hope this helps. :)
