Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

17 units to the left of -6 on a number line is - 6 - 17 which equals to - 23.

What is a number line?

A number line is exactly what it sounds like a horizontal, straight line with numbers spaced evenly apart throughout its length. Since it's not a ruler, the distance between each number is irrelevant; instead, the numbers on the line specify how they should be used.

The given statement 17 units to the left of - 6 on a number line can be interpreted as,

We we'll start at - 6 on the number line, Now we know moving to the left horizontal direction in a number line results in subtraction.

Therefore,  17 units to the left of - 6 on a number line is,

= - 6 - 17.

= - 23 units from the origin which should be labeled at zero.

Peter is trying to buy fencing for the perimeter of his garden. His garden is in the shape of a rectangle with a length of 2(x+6)feet and a width of 3.5x feet. How many feet of fencing will he need to buy? Write and simplify an expression to represent this situation? What properties did you use?

Answers

Given that, the length of the garden is 2(x+6)feet and width is 3.5x feet.

So, length : l = 2(x+6) and width = 3.5x.

To find the fence of the garden we need to find the perimeter of the rectangle.

Formula to find the perimeter is:

p = 2l + 2b

= 2*2(x+6) + 2*3.5x

= 4(x+6) + 7x By multiplication.

= 4x + 24 + 7x By distribution property.

= 11x + 24 Combining the like terms.

So, he need to buy 11x + 24 feet fencing.

Hope this helps you!

Sal is building a robot, if he puts a sphere on top of a cylinder. What would happen?

Answers


the sphere would fall over or be unbalanced on the cylinder, it doesn't have a flat surface where it can be balanced.

(unless you use glue or stick the sphere onto it :P)

something would have to hold the sphere in place or it would roll off the cylinder, but if it was in place it could be the head of the body.

A TV goes on sale with a discount of 28%. The original price of the TV is $942. What is the sales price of the TV?

Answers

Answer:

28% discount of the TV = $678.24

Step-by-step explanation:

28% discount of the TV = actual price - 28% of the actual price.

Since we know the actual price to be $942

Actual price = $942

28% of the actual price = 28% * actual price.

= 28/100 x 942

= 26376/100

= 263.76.

28% discount of the TV = actual price - 28% of the actual price.

28% discount of the TV = $942 - $263.76

28% discount of the TV = $678.24

A percentage is equivalent to a fraction, a percentage is out of 100 therefore the fraction for this can be 28/100, as a decimal this would be .28. Therefore to solve this problem you would set up the problem as, 942 x .28= 263.76, you then take that number and subtract it from the original price of the tv, and you get the final price, of $678.24.

Together, Sarah's two cats have the same mass as her dog, 11 kg. The mass of one cat is1500 g greater than the mass of the other. What are the masses of the two cats?

Answers

First, lets do all calculations in kg. 1kg=1000 grams
Lets set 1 cat's mass as x.
Lets set the other cat's mass as y.
1) x+y=11
2) y=x+1.5   

Lets plug eq 2 into eq 1.
x+x+1.5=11
2x+1.5=11
2x=9.5
x=4.75 kg

If one cat weighs 4.75 kg, then the other must weigh 6.25 kg.




so cat1=x
cat2=y
x+y=11kg
11kg=11000g
x=y+1500
subsitute
y+1500+y=11000
subtract 1500
2y=9500
divide by 2
y=4750
subsitue
x=4750+1500
x=6250

one cat weighs 6250g and the other weighs 4750g
