Colin was using the back of his book to check his homework answers. The answer that he had on his paper was −1/3 − (1/5 + 5/8). The correct answer, located in the back of the book, was −1/3 −1/5 + 5/8. Was Colin correct? Justify your response.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: No. Colin was incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the answer that Colin had on his paper was −1/3 − (1/5 + 5/8) while the correct answer, located in the back of the book, was −1/3 −1/5 + 5/8.

Colin was wrong because he didn't take into effect that the minus has affected the figures in the bracket. Therefore, 1/3 − (1/5 + 5/8) simply means 1/3 - 1/5 - 5/8.

He didn't realise that (-) × (-) = + which has resulted in the change of the sign beside 5/8 from positive to negative.

How can you solve one-step multiplication and division equations?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All of these equations only require a single operation before you get x alone. for example: x - 2 = 6 Compared with 2x = 6

For the first one, you have to add two and get x = 8. for the second one,  Then you divide by 2 and get x = 3. they're both a single step, as the name "one-step" equations tells you, and you only have to divide, multiply, add, or subtract one value.

The question is an illustration of fraction division.

8 visitors shared the pizza

Given

[tex]Pizza = 2[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac 14[/tex] --- the amount each visitor was given

The number of visitors (n) is calculated using:

[tex]n =\frac{Pizza}{k}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]n =\frac{2}{1/4}[/tex]

[tex]n = 8[/tex]

7x + 39 ≥ 53 AND 16x + 15 > 31
CHOOSE ONE ANSWER
x > 1
x ≥ 2
x ≤ 2
There are no solutions
All values of x are solutions

Answers

x > 1

first, we’ll focus on the first inequality. to isolate the variable, x, we have to subtract 39 from each side
7x + 39 > 53
7x > 14
now divide by 7
x > 2 (x is greater than or equal to 2)

for the second inequality, isolate the variable by subtracting 15 from each side and then dividing by 16
16x + 15 > 31
16x > 16
x > 1

so the answer put together would be x > 1 & x > 2

because x>2 falls under the category of x > 1 (2 is greater than 1 and can be a valid answer for this), the answer is x > 1 because it applies to both inequalities’ values

The Spanish club held a car wash to raise money why equals Y=5X represents the amount of money The Y club members made Washing cars identify the constant Proportionality

Answers

Given:

The amount of money y club members made for washing x cars is

[tex]y=5x[/tex]

To find:

The constant Proportionality.

Solution:

If y is directly proportional to x, then

[tex]y\propto x[/tex]

[tex]y=kx[/tex]        ...(i)

where, k  is constant of proportionality.

The amount of money y club members made is proportional to number of  cars washing x.

We have,

[tex]y=5x[/tex]        ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]k=5[/tex]

Therefore, the constant proportionality  is 5.

An open top box is made from a rectangular piece of cardboard, whose length is twice the width, by cutting a 3 in square from each corner and folding up the remaining sides. The area of the bottom of the box is 140 inches squared. What is the width?

Answers

Answer:

Width = 13 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume;

Width = x

Length = 2(width) = 2x

Cut 3 inch from each corner:

Width = x-3-3 = x - 6

Length = = 2x-3-3 = 2x - 6

Area of rectangle = lb

Area of rectangle = [length][width]

Area of rectangle = (2x - 6)(x - 6)

Area of rectangle = (2x - 6)(x - 6)

140 = 2x² - 12x - 6x + 36

2x² - 18x - 104

x² - 9x - 52

x² - (13-4)x - 52

x² - 13x + 4x -52

x(x-13)+4(x-13)

(x-13)(x+4)

So,

x = 13 or x = 4

Width = 13 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that you decide to buy a car for ​$57,000​, including taxes and license fees. You saved $10,000 for a down payment. The dealer is offering you a choice between two incentives. Incentive A is ​$5000 off the price of the​ car, followed by a four​-year loan at 6.06​%. Incentive B does not have a cash​ rebate, but provides free financing​ (no interest) over four years. What is the difference in monthly payments between the two​ offers? Which incentive is the better​ deal? Use PMT= P r n 1−1+ r n−nt. The difference in monthly payments between the two offers is ​$nothing. ​(Round to the nearest cent as​ needed.)

Answers

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

For incentive A

The car value = 57000

Calculating debt[tex]= 57000 - 10000[/tex]

                            [tex]= 47000[/tex]

Calculating the debt value after incentive [tex]= 47000 - 5000[/tex]

                                                                    [tex]= 42000[/tex]

[tex]PMT = \frac{P(\frac{r}{n})}{(1 - (1 + (\frac{r}{n}))^(-nt))}[/tex]

         [tex]= \frac{42000 \times (\frac{6.06 \%}{12})}{(1-(1+(\frac{6.06 \%}{12}))^{(-12 \times 4)})}[/tex]

         [tex]= \frac{42000 \times (0.00505)}{(1-(1+(0.00505))^{(-48)})}\\\\= \frac{212.1}{(1-(1+(0.00505))^{(-48)})}\\\\=\frac{212.1}{-1.74}\\\\= - 121.89 \ \ or \ \ 121.89[/tex]

For incentive  B

The car value = 57000

Calculating the debt value [tex]= 57000 - 10000[/tex]

                                            [tex]= 47000[/tex]

Calculating the monthly payment =[tex]\frac{47000}{(12*4)}[/tex]

                                                        [tex]= \frac{47000}{(48)}\\\\= \frac{47000}{(48)}\\\\=979.166[/tex]

difference:

[tex]=121.89 - 979.166\\\\ = - 854.276[/tex]
