What value of k makes the equation true? 12 (–17) = –17 + k

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: is there any sign between 12 and -17 on the left side?

if no, then this is to be interpreted as a multiplication and is equal to -204.

so we have -204=-17+k

which means

-204+17=k

 -187=k

so k is -187

if thre is a plus between the 12 and (-17) then k would be 12 (and both sides of the equation would be essentially the same, just inverted order)

How do I figure out what 1/10 of 6000 is?

Answers

The way I like to figure out problems like this is to write it out like,

1/10 = x/6000
(One over ten equals x over 6000)

Then you find out how much you multiplied 10 by to get 6000. To do this you can divide 6000 by 10 getting 600. The rule "what you do to the bottom you have to do to top" in this equation. So since you multiplied the bottom by 600 you have to multiply the top by 600 as well. 600 times 1 is just 600.

So your answer is, 600 is 1/10 of 6000.

Hope this helps and isn't too confusing.

Compare simplifying before multiplying fractions with simplifying after multiplying the fractions

Answers

Answer:

We can compare this using example:

Suppose the two fractions are (20)/(25) and (12)/(36)

When we simplify before multiplying:

(20)/(25) (dividing both numerator and denominator by 5) in simplified form becomes (4)/(5)

Similarly (12)/(36) becomes (1)/(3)

Now multiplying:

(4)/(5) *(1)/(3) = (4)/(15)

When we simplify after multiplying:

(20)/(25) *(12)/(36) = (240)/(900)

Now simplifying this:

Dividing both numerator and denominator by 10; we get

(24)/(90)

Now dividing by 2:

(12)/(45)

Now dividing by 3:

(4)/(15)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, we can see and compare that when we multiply after simplifying, the result is simplified and calculation is easier.

When we do not simplify and multiply at first, the results are bigger numbers and it is difficult to simplify bigger numbers.

We will start using a new way to indicate simplifying fractions. When a numerator or 
a denominator gets simplified, we will cross it out with a slash and write the new 
numerator or denominator next to it (either above it or below it).
The number you divide by (the 4) does not get indicated in any way! You only 
think about it in your mind: “I divide 12 by 4, and get 3. I divide 20 by 4, and get 5.”
You may not see any advantage over the “old” method yet, but this shortcut will 
come in handy soon.
 

Evaluate:
y = x – 13 when x = –3.

Answers

y = x - 13
x = -3

Since the value of x has already been given, we can substitute its value to the x in the 1st equation.

y = x - 13
   = -3 - 13  *both carry the same negative signs, so addition is                                    performed but the sign is carried over to its sum
y = -16      

(-3,-16)
y=-3-13y=-16you add -3 to -13 to get -16

Is 45 /5 equal to a whole number or mixed number and why

Answers


it is both. why? because 45/5 is greater than 1
A whole Number because if you were to put the fraction into decimal form it would end up being a whole number.
