Consider this equation.

7.8 + 2(0.75m + 0.4) = -6.4m + 4(0.5m - 0.8)


Mia solved the equation and determined that m = 2. Is she correct?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

No, Mia is not correct, the answer is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we are going to use the distributive Property.

Step 1: 2(0.75+0.4). multiply the 2 out. .75m x 2=1.5m and 2 x .4= .8.

We get 1.5m+.8, so 2(0.75+0.4)=1.5m+.8

Now we are going to distribute on the oher side. 4(.5m-.8)

4x .5m=2m and 4x.8=3.2. Keep the sign the same and we get 2m-3.2, so 4(.5m-.8)=2m-3.2

We put this into the new equation to get 1.5m+.8+7.8=-6.4m+2m-3.2

Step 2: combine like terms

.8+7.8= 8.6 and -6.4m +2m =-4.4m

Plug that into our equation and we get 1.5mn+8.6=-4.4m-3.2

Step 3: Switch the sides

Bring -4.4m to the other side to get 1.5m+4.4m=5.9m

One side is 5.9m

We bring 8.6 to the other side to get -8.6. now we do -3.2-8.6=-11.8.

Our new equation is 5.9m=-11.8

divide by 5.9 on both sides to get our answer of

m=-2

Answer 2
no she’s wrong the answer is (-2)

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the arrow is going 2 in the right direction...so you have to have the 2 in the equation...

and the reason it equals 5 instead of a (-) number is because of the KCC rule

so basically the equation is 2+3

or if you don't want the long way just look at all of the equations...only one of the have a 2 in it so it is automatically the correct answer

Answer:

I think it should be A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first arrow represents 2, and the second arrow represents subtracting -3 from it, represented as -(-3). This means that the first part of the equation is 2 - (-3). Now you have to solve it. When subtraction is modeled like this with a negative number, it actually means addition. This means that the answer should be as simple as 2+3 because there were two negative signs. 2+3=5, so A should be the answer.

Answer:

I can see how this is confusing, because of -2, but the slope is decreasing, so the question wouldn't say:

This happens to turn the -2 into a regular 2 with an addition (+) sign.

and since the graph has an input of 5 but an output of -3, the equation would be:

Robert uses a wheelbarrow to haul wood from his backyard to the back of his neighbor's house, located 9 kilometers away.
1. If he takes 2 breaks evenly when pushing the wheelbarrow the complete distance, at what distance does he take his first break?
2. Robert has 36 pieces to take, but can only take 9 each time. What distance in meters, will he have to travel to move all the wood.

Answers

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT

Answer:

1. 3 breaks

2. 36,000 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this, we must divide 9 by 3 since the first break, the second break, and the complete distance are all major stops.

9 ÷ 3 = 3

Robert takes 3 breaks.

2. Since Robert has to has to take 36 pieces, but only 9 each time, we must divide 36 by 9.

36 ÷ 9 = 4

He will need to take 4 trips to take all the wood.

However, this question asks the distance in meters. Since 1 kilometer is 1,000 meters, then 9 kilometers is 9,000 meters.

9000 x 4 = 36000 meters

This shows the ratio percentage correctly. And other choice would not be correct.

Megan and Desmond each added the same amount of water to their aquariums. Megan mixed 5 mL of a chemical solution with every gallon of water for her aquarium. Desmond mixed 8 mL of the chemical solution with every 2 gallons of water for his aquarium.

Which of these statements is true?

Answers

Answer:

i think it is the second one

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement "Megan added more chemical solution to her aquarium than Desmond did" is true.

What is Unit of Measurement?

A unit of measurement is a definite magnitude of a quantity, defined and adopted by convention or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same kind of quantity.

To compare the amount of chemical solution used by Megan and Desmond, we need to convert their rates to a common unit.

Let's convert Megan's rate to mL per 2 gallons by using proportions:

5 mL / 1 gallon = x mL / 2 gallons

Multiplying both sides by 2, we get:

10 mL = x

So Megan added 10 mL of chemical solution per 2 gallons of water.

Desmond's rate is already given as 8 mL per 2 gallons of water, so we can compare their rates directly.

Since 10 mL is greater than 8 mL, Megan added more chemical solution to her aquarium than Desmond did.

Therefore, the statement "Megan added more chemical solution to her aquarium than Desmond did" is true.
