Answer:
The number further left on a number line is the smaller number. For positive numbers, the number closest to zero is smaller. For negative numbers, the number closest to zero is larger. If a is less than b, and they are both positive, then a is closer to 0 than b. The opposite of a is also closer to zero than the opposite of b, so the opposite of a must be larger than the opposite of b.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1a) Length = 7x + 3 & Width = 4x - 2
1b) Area = 
1c) Area = 2774 sq. m
2. 
Step-by-step explanation:
1a)
The length given as words is "3 more than 7 times x"
The width given as words is "4 times x minus 2"
The expression for length would be 7x + 3
The expression for width would be 4x - 2
1b)
The area is length * width
Since we already know the algebraic expressions for length and width from part (a) above, we use the formula:
Area = (7x+3)(4x-2) = 28x^2 -14x + 12x - 6 = 28x^2 -2x -6
Area = 
1c)
Given x = 10, we put this into the area expression we found in (b) above.Let's see:

Area = 2774 sq. m
2.
We can group the first two terms and next two terms and write up:

That's the factored form.
Answer:
Green ball. $11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's see.
15 balls. 7 are red. 6 are green. rest are yellow. That means there are 2 yellow balls.
Since there are more greens than yellows, you have a better chance of getting a green. That means you have a higher chance of getting $11
Answer:
<em>55mph
. None of the options are correct
</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
If the speed varies inversely as the time it takes to drive, then v ∝ 1/t. where;
v is the speed
t is the time taken
Hence;
v = k/t with k being the constant of proportionality.
Since it takes Kris 5 hours when driving at 55 mph, we will substitute v = 55mph and t = 5 hours. into the equation above to get the value of k as shown:
55 = k/5
Cross multiply
k = 55*5
k = 275
Hence, to calculate the speed it will Martin to drive for 5 hours, we will substitute k = 275 and t = 5 into the original equation v = k/t as shownl
v = 275/5
v = 55 mph
<em>Hence, we can conclude that Martin will also need to drive at a speed of 55mph if he wants to take 5hours.</em>
