<h3>Answer:  1.8x - 4</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Subtract the two expressions

Tomas - Angie = (3x) - (1.2x+4) = 3x - 1.2x-4 = 1.8x-4

This represents how many more miles Tomas jogged compared to Angie.

-------------

A more concrete example would be to say hypothetically

Tomas = 10 miles

Angie = 4 miles

So Tomas - Angie = 10-4 = 6 means he jogged 6 more miles than Angie.

That's why we subtracted. The order of subtraction matters. Saying 10-4 is different from 4-10.

maxonik [38]

The students rented 4 small cars and 8 large cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of people in small car = 4

Number of people in large car = 7

Total people in both type of cars = 72

Let,

x represent the number of small cars rented.

y represent the number of large cars rented.

According to given statement;

4x+7y=72     Eqn 1

y = 2x           Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

4x+7(2x)=72\\4x+14x=72\\18x=72

Dividing both sides by 18

\frac{18x}{18}=\frac{72}{18}\\x=4

Putting x=4 in Eqn 2

y=2(4)\\y=8

The students rented 4 small cars and 8 large cars.

speed of Diana=x+4

then

6x+6(x+4)=276

divide by 6

x+x+4=276/6=46

2x=46-4=42

x=42/2=21

Sidana [21]

7,400, 000 - 6, 900,000 = 500, 000  

Now divide the obtain number by  the original number which is 6,900,000

500, 000/ 6,900,000 = 0.07246  

Multiply 0.07246 by 100 to convert it to a percent.

0.07246  = 7.2463..%  

Round it to the nearest tenth of a percent.

7.2463.. rounded to the nearest tenth is 7.2%
