Why do you think that when subtracting a negative
number, in reality you are adding it? (For example: 1-
(-1) = 1+1=2)​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a positive number and a negative number, let's imagine it with a number line.

<-----------0----------->

If we have the positive number 1:

<-----------0--1-------->

And we want to subtract 1 from it, the number would move to the left

1 - 1 = 0

<-----------0----------->

However, if we were to subtract a negative number, they are opposites. It can't move to the left because that's what a positive number does. The only other way to go: right.

1 + -1 = 2

<-----------0--1--2----->

A tour group is going sea diving. Sea level is O feet. The ocean
floor is -18 feet. One diver is already at -11 feet. The tour guide
is keeping watch on the deck at 5 feet above sea level directly
above the diver. What is the distance from the tour guide to the
diver? Draw and label a number line to justify your answer.​

Answers

Answer:

16 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached diagram for the clear understanding of the given question statement.

A is the position of tour guide on deck.

B is the sea level. (Can be considered as zero on the number line)

C is the position of Diver and

D is the point on ocean floor.

Below sea level dimensions are given as negative in the question statement.

As per given statement,

AB = 5 feet

BC = 11 feet (Ignoring the negative sign as negative sign only depicts that it is below sea level)

BD = 18 feet

To find:

Distance from tour guide to the diver = ?

Solution:

We have to actually find the value of AC here as per the image attached.

AC = AB + BC = 5 + 11 = 16 feet

[tex]\frac{1}{5} x + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{8}{5}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5x + 4/5 = 8/5

Multiply each side by 5 to get rid of the fractions

5(1/5x + 4/5) = 8/5 *5

x+4 = 8

Subtract 4 from each side

x+4-4 = 8-4

A regular pentagon is shown
The perimeter is 125 cm
Write an equation and solve this
to find the value of x.​

Answers

Answer: The equation is 5x = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

A pentagon is a five sided figure so all the side lengths must be equal. And to find the perimeter of a pentagon the you will  the five equal side lengths.

So assume we don't know the side lengths so we will represent it by x and the side lengths are 5 so we will have five x's and they will add up to 125 and that could be represent by the equation.

x + x + x + x + x = 125

5x = 125

x = 25

Adams Company revenues are $500 on invested capital of $250. Expenses are currently 60% of sales. If Angelo Company can reduce its capital investment by 20% in Adams Company, return on investment will be _____.

Answers

Answer:

100%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the return on investment is:

ROI=(Net Profit/Total Investment)*100

Net profit=Revenues-expenses=500-(500*0.6)=500-300=200

Total investment=250-(250*0.2)=250-50=200

Now, you can replace the values:

ROI= (200/200)*100

ROI= 100%

According to this, the answer is that If Angelo Company can reduce its capital investment by 20% in Adams Company, return on investment will be 100%.

the work in an office takes 180 hours to complete every work
each person in the office works for 35 hours a week
what is the smallest number of people needed to complete the work?​

Answers

Answer:

Minimum People required = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total hours required to complete the work every week = 150 hrs.

Number of hours worked per week by one person = 32 hr

∴ Number of people required to complete the work per week = Total number of hrs to complete the work ÷ No of hrs work per person

∴ Number of people = 150 ÷ 32

∴ Number of people = 4.6875

This is the minimum number of people. But no of people cannot be a fraction.

Thus, rounding the number to next integer.

∴ Smallest number of people needed to complete the work = 5

Hey can someone help me figure out what 3/4(x-8)=12

Answers

Answer:

x=24

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4(x-8)=12

Multiply each side by 4/3

4/3*3/4(x-8)=12*4/3

x-8 = 16

Add 8 to each side

x-8+8 = 16+8

x=24

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially, you need to break this apart.

You need to isolate the x to figure it out with division or something.

To isolate, you need to get rid of the numbers around it.

To get rid of the 3/4, you can convert it to a decimal to make it easier, and then divide both sides by 0.75 to get rid of it on the x's side.

You now have

x-8 = 12/0.75

You can quickly punch the right side into a calculator to make it easier.

x - 8 = 16

You then add 8 to both sides to finish off the x, to get

x = 24

A graph of a system of equation with different slopes will have no solution ?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are talking slopes, we are talking linear equations, since lines are the only functions with slopes. If the slopes are the same, the lines will be parallel, and that is where we have a case of no solution because parallel lines will never intersect. NEVER EVER. If the slopes are different, eventually the lines will intersect somewhere.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

False.  A system with different slopes is actually most likely to have a solution.

The ratio of the units digit to the tens digit of a two-digit number is one-half.The tens digit is 2 more than the units digit. Find the number.

Answers

Answer:

Number : 42

Step-by-step explanation:

This number will be a two - digit number, and hence we can say that it is yz. The ratio of the units digit to the tens digit is given by 1 / 2, so z / y = 1 / 2.

In addition the tens digit is 2 more than the units digit, so y = z + 2. We therefore have the following system of equations,

y = z + 2,

z / y = 1 / 2

Substituting the first equation into the second we receive z / z + 2 = 1 / 2. Using this we can solve for z.

z / z + 2 = 1 / 2 ( Cross - Multiply )

z + 2 = 2z, z = 2

And knowing z we can solve for y. y = z + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4. Therefore our number is 42.

You have a choice to invest in one of three different college funds to save up for college. You need to save at least $14,000 for your first year. In which of the three accounts do you choose to invest your money given that you have $10,000 to invest and you would like to accrue as much interest as possible?​

Answers

Answer: C) You choose account #2

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

Explanation:

Let's compute the final balance for account 1.

We'll use the compound interest formula

A = P*(1+r/n)^(n*t)

where,

P = principal or amount depositedr = decimal form of the annual interest raten = number of times we compound the interest per yeart = number of years

where in this case

P = 10,000r = 0.035 n = 4 t = 10

So with all that in mind, we get

A = P*(1+r/n)^(n*t)

A = 10,000*(1+0.035/4)^(4*10)

A = 14,169.0883793113

A = 14,169.09

Account #1 gets us $14,169.09 which is over our goal of $14,000

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

Let's repeat this idea for account 3. I'll get back to account 2 in the next section.

For account 3, we have these inputs

P = 10,000r = 0.032n = 1t = 10

leading to...

A = P*(1+r/n)^(n*t)

A = 10,000*(1+0.032/1)^(1*10)

A = 13,702.4104633564

A = 13,702.41

This isn't larger than 14,000. So we cannot use account 3. The interest rate is too small and needs to be bumped up.

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

Now let's compute account 2. We'll use the continuously compounded interest formula which is

A = P*e^(rt)

The P, r and t are the same as before. The 'e' is a constant and it's roughly e = 2.718... similar to how pi = 3.14... approximately.

I recommend using the calculator's stored value of 'e' to get as much accuracy as possible.

So,

A = P*e^(rt)

A = 10,000*e^(0.036*10)

A = 14,333.2941456052

A = 14,333.29

This exceeds 14,000 so we can use this account.

Comparing this to account 1's value (14,169.09), we can see that account 2 gets us the most money over the 10 year time period. Not only does account 2 have the higher interest rate, but it also has an infinitely higher compounding frequency as well. These two factors help contribute as to why account 2 beats out account 1.

This is why we should go for account 2.
