Answer:
Belinda's score is 32 strokes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the score of John be "x" and Belinda be "y".
It is given that, in the game of golf, John's score was 10 less than two times Belinda's score.
Also, John's score is 54 strokes.
The above equation can be written as ;
Here, x = 54,
Thus, Belinda's score is 32 strokes.
* Craig's answer is not reasonable because to add fractions the denominators must be the same.
** Total distance = 5/8 + 1/2 = 5/8 + 4/8 = 9/8 miles
*** Using the line number to prove the answer:
The line number that represents the problem is in the attached figure.
while the distance between 0 and 1 divided to 8 sections
to represent (5/8) count 5 sections from zero ⇒⇒⇒ point (a)
and to represent (1/2) it is the midpoint between 0 and 1 which mean it is 4 sections but it will be counted from point (a) so, adding 4 sections to point (a) the result will be the point (b)
So, counting from 0 to point (b) will give us 9 sections
and while one section represents (1/8)
So the total distance will be 9 * (1/8) = 9/8 which is agree with the result obtained before
A product is the answer that you get when you multiply numbers together. So for this problem, you have 2 groups to multiply together. Since I cannot show a square or cubed x, I will put an x2 for x squared and an x3 for x cubed. You have to multiply each number in the first parentheses by each number in the second parentheses. Then combine any like sets.
(8x-3)(x2-4x+8)
8x3-32x2+64x-6x+12x-24
8x3-32x2+70x-24
So the answer is 8x cubed minus 32x squared plus 70x minus 24. Whew! That's a long one. Hope I didn't miss anything.
After 6 hours the amount of caffeine 40 mg. After another 6 hours the amount of caffeine is 20 mg. It takes 12 hours for the total amount of caffeine to drop down to 20 mg. the answer is 11 am -B. Hope this helps!
