3 inches because he took off one forth of a foot. if a foot is 12 inches and you take off one forth, it would be like dividing 12 by 4. This would give you an answer of 3 inches.
Calll x the smaller negative number.
The larger number will be x + 8
The product will be x(x+8) = 308
An the equation:
x^2 + 8x = 308
x^2 + 8x - 308 =0
If you solve that equation you will get x = -22 and x = 14.
The result that you are looking is the negative, x = -22.
The larger number is -22 + 8 = -14.
(-22)*(-14) = 308
Answer: x^2 + 8x - 308 =0
Answer:
5 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 1 3/8 + 5 1/2 = 6 7/8. 12 3/4 - 6 7/8= 5 7/8

Let the number of hamburgers = h
Let the number of cheeseburgers = c
Now we translate the given information into equations.
"combined total of 770 [ham]burgers and cheeseburgers"
h + c = 770
<span>"there were 70 more cheeseburger sold than hamburgers"
</span><span>
</span><span>c = h + 70
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Our system of equations is
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span />h + c = 770
c = h + 70
The second equation is already solved for c, so we replace c of the first equation with h + 70.
h + h + 70 = 770
2h + 70 = 770
2h = 700
h = 350
Answer: 350 hamburgers were sold on Monday.
Note that both 12 and 30 are multiples of 2. Divide the numerator and denominator by 2. 6/15. Note that 6 and 15 are multiples of 3. Divide the numerator and denominator by 3. 2/5. Note that 2 and 5 are both prime numbers. Your answer is 2/5.
