Answer:

Answer:

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Answer:  33.2 degrees F

Explanation: Adding on a negative is the same as subtracting. So 72.3 + (-39.1) = 72.3 - 39.1 = 33.2

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

Part B

Answer: 70 +  2   +  0.3    + (-30) + (-9) + (   -0.1   )

Explanation:

Think of 72 as 70+2. Furthermore, think of 72.3 as 70+2+0.3; we just break the number up into its corresponding digits (adding zeros when needed). The 7 is in the tens place, the 2 is in the units or ones place, and the 3 is in the tenths place.

Similarly, we have 39.1 break down into 30+9+0.1, in which all three terms are made negative to represent -39.1

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

Part C

Answer:   70 + (-30) + 2 + (-9) + 0.3 + ( -0.1  )  

Explanation: Arrange the tens place value items to be next to each other. Same goes for the units place value, and also the tenths place value.

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

Part D

Answer:  [70 + (-30)] +  [ 2 + (-9) ] + [ 0.3 + ( -0.1  ) ]

Explanation: Take the result of part C and surround each pair of terms in square brackets to show how the terms pair up.

Answer:Let PQRS to be the rhombus where PQ=12cm and RS = 16cm

step 1:let,PQ and RS intersect each other at O.Now, diagonals of rhombus bisect each other at right angles.

STEP 2:Since POQ is a right angled triangle, by pythagoras theoram.

STEP 3:After applying formula , PQ =10cm .length of each side of rhombus is 10cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

10cm

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see in the first image is a rhombus with its diagonals 12cm and 16cm

You can see that the diagonals divide the rhombus into four right triangles and that the hypotenuse of each triangle is one side of the rhombus.

In the second image I picked out one triangle from the rhombus and slashed the length of the diagonals of the rhombus in half to get the sides of the triangle.

Now all you have to do is use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse of the triangle which will give you the length of side of rhombus

6² + 8² = hypotenuse²

36 + 64 = h²

100 = h²

h = √100

h = 10

All the side of the rhombus are equal so all the sides of the rhombus are 10cm

Answer:

4.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Commision =  441.30 - 375 = 66.30

Commision is based on  = 6560-5000 = 1560

Rate of Commision = (in decimal) 66.30/1560 = 0.0425  

Rate of Commision = 0.0425  * 100 =   4.25 %

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply $9500 by .05 (5%) to get 475. That is 5% of $9500. Now subtract 475 from 9500 to get 9025. That is your answer!  

The value of car in month of January is, [tex]\$ 9975[/tex]

It is given that, At the end of any year a car is worth 5% less than what it was worth at the beginning of the year.

Since, car was worth $9 500 in December 2016.

Then, the value of car in month of January is, 105 % of value of car in moth of December.

So that, value of car in month of January is,

                                     [tex]=9500*\frac{105}{100}\\ \\=9500*1.05=9975[/tex]

SQUARE:

The area of the square is:

[tex]9x^2-12x+4[/tex]

Factor it:

[tex]=9x^2-6x-6x+4\\=3x(3x-2)-2(3x-2)\\=(3x-2)(3x-2)\\=(3x-2)^2[/tex]

Remember that all four sides of a square is equal. The area is simply the side squared. Therefore, all four sides of the square measure (3x-2).

RECTANGLE:

[tex]25x^2-16y^2\\[/tex]

Factor it. This resembles the difference of two squares, where:

[tex](x-a)(x+a)=x^2-a^2[/tex]

[tex]25x^2-16y^2\\=(5x)^2-(4y)^2\\=(5x-4y)(5x+4y)[/tex]

This cannot be simplified further. Note that the sides of rectangles doesn't necessarily have to be the same.

The dimensions of the rectangle is:

(5x-4y) by (5x+4y)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. the area of square is 9x^2-12x+4 square units

shortcut: (a-b)^2= a^2-2ab+b^2

then simplify 9x^2-12x+4 to (3x-2)^2

area of square = s^2

then side equals sqrt((3x-2)^2)

s = (3x-2) units

2. the area of rectangle is (25x^2-16y^2) square units

shortcut: (a^2-b^2) = (a-b)(a+b)

then simplify (25x^2-16y^2) to (5x-4y)(5x+4y) square units

one side is: (5x-4y) units

one side is (5x+4y) units

Answers:

Equation is  3x+7 + 10x+17 = 180 (there are infinitely many other ways to write the equation)

x = 12

Angles are 43 and 137

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

Explanation:

The horizontal lines are parallel, so the same side interior angles marked are supplementary. The angles add to 180

(3x+7) + (10x+17) = 180 is the equation, or one variation of such

13x+24 = 180

13x = 180-24

13x = 156

x = 156/13

x = 12 is the value of x

Use this x value to find the measure of each angle

3x+7 = 3*12+7 = 43

10x+17 = 10*12+17 = 137

The two angles are 43 and 137 degrees

Note how 43 and 137 add to 180.

Total expense = price of sugar * consumption

let price of sugar was 100

So total expense = 100*10=1000

But now new expense =1100 (I,e.10% more than 1000)

and new price =120(i,e. 20% more than 100)

So new consumption = new expense/ new price=

Answer:

y = 250

Step 1:

To solve, we plug in 50x for y.

[tex]50x=200+10x[/tex]

Then, we subtract the 10x from the right side. Our goal is to get the x by itself first.

[tex]40x=200[/tex]

Then, we divide both sides by 40, since we have to get the x by itself.

[tex]\frac{40x}{40}=x\\\\\frac{200}{40} =5[/tex]

x = 5

Step 2:

Now that we found x, we plug in 5 to the original equation and solve from there.

[tex]y=200+10(5)\\y=200+50\\y=250[/tex]

y = 250

Answer:

n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4(2n + 3) = 44

Expand the brackets.

4(2n) + 4(3) = 44

8n + 12 = 44

Subtract 12 on both sides.

8n + 12 - 12 = 44 - 12

8n = 32

Divide both sides by 8.

(8n)/8 = 32/8

n = 4

Dimensions of rectangular pit = 1m [tex]\times[/tex] 36m or 2m [tex]\times[/tex] 18m or 3m [tex]\times[/tex] 12m or 4m [tex]\times[/tex] 9m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two pits in the school playground area (one square shaped and one rectangular shaped).

Each pit must have an area = 36 [tex]m^2[/tex]

To find:

Dimensions of each pit = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the formula for area of a square and a rectangle:

[tex]Area_{square} = (Side)^2[/tex]

[tex]Area_{Rectangle} = Length\times Width[/tex]

Now, let us try to find out dimensions of square:

[tex]36 = Side^2\\\Rightarrow Side = 6\ m[/tex]

So, dimensions of Square will be 6m [tex]\times[/tex] 6m.

Now, let us try to find out dimensions of rectangle.

[tex]36 = Length\times Width[/tex]

We are not given any restrictions on the Length and Width of the rectangle.

So, let us explore all the possibilities by factorizing 36:

[tex]36 = 1 \times 36\\36 = 2 \times 18\\36 = 3 \times 12\\36 = 4 \times 9[/tex]

6 [tex]\times[/tex] 6 factors not considered because then it will become a square and which is not the required case.

Dimensions of rectangular pit = 1m [tex]\times[/tex] 36m or 2m [tex]\times[/tex] 18m or 3m [tex]\times[/tex] 12m or 4m [tex]\times[/tex] 9m

Answer:

3,500 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1,400 tons is 2/5 of the Consolidated Brick Company's output.

This means that 1/5 must be equal to 700 tons if 2/5 is 1,400.

So, we can find the total output by multiplying 700 by 5, since 700 is 1/5 of the total.

700(5) = 3,500 tons

Answer:

The center is ( 1,-3) and the radius is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle can be written in the form

( x-h)^2 + ( y-k) ^2 = r^2 where ( h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x-1)^2 + (y+3)^2= 9

(x-1)^2 + (- -3)^2= 3^2

Answer:

h=−6, k=−30

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the equation of the parabola, the coefficients of the vertex are:

h=−6, k=−30

A quadratic equation is modeled by:

[tex]y = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]

The vertex is given by:

[tex](h,k)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]h = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]k = -\frac{b^2 - 4ac}{4a}[/tex]

In this problem, the equation is:

[tex]f(x) = x^2 + 12x + 6[/tex]

Hence the coefficients are a = 1, b = 12, c = 6, thus:

[tex]h = -\frac{12}{2} = -6[/tex]

[tex]k = -\frac{120}{4} = -30[/tex]
