Answer:

incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

we are finding area which is squared, or we can put it in an equation, (0.5*20)*(0.25*20) or 0.5*0.25*20^2 which equals 50      but (0.5*0.25)*20 only equals 2.5    therefor he is incorrect and the correct answer would be 20^2 or 400 times the area.

hope this helps :)

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks. The volleyball team
almond37 [142]

Answer: After washing 20 cars together, each team will have raised the same amount in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cars that each each teams will wash for them to raise the same amount in total.

The volleyball team gets $4 per car. In addition, they have already brought in $24 from past fundraisers. This means that the total amount raised by the volleyball team after washing x cars would be

4x + 24

The wrestling team has raised $84 in the past, and they are making $1 per car today. This means that the total amount raised by the wrestling team after washing x cars would be

x + 84

For both amounts to be equal, the number of cars would be

4x + 24 = x + 84

4x - x = 84 - 24

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20

A point with a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate is reflected over the y-axis.
Luden [163]
The x-coordinate is negative, and the y-coordinate is negative.

This is because the y-axis is vertical, so reflecting across it means you will change the sign of the x-value, and the sign of the y-value will stay constant. Since we start off with a positive x and negative y, we will end up with a negative x and negative y.
