Answer:

Jada should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 108.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Find the complete question in the comment section.

Given the equation -4/9 = x/108, in order to determine Jada's error, we need to solve in our own way as shown:

Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by -9/4 as shown:

-4/9 × -9/4 = x/108 × -9/4

-36/-36 = -9x/432

1 = -9x/432

1 = -x/48

Cross multiplying

48 = -x

x = -48

It can also be solved like this:

Given -4/9 = x/108

Multiply both sides by 108 to have:

-4/9 * 108 = x/108 * 108

-4/9 * 108 = 108x/108

-432/9 = x

x = -48

Jada should have simply follow the second calculation by multiplying both sides of the equation by 108 as shown.

What value is equivalent to 2 × 3 + 4 − 62?<br> A) -26 <br> B) -22 <br> C) -2 <br> D) 10
deff fn [24]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

-52. None of the provided choices is correct

Discussion:

Following the usual order of math operations none of the provided answers is correct. The answer is

2*3 + 4- 62 =                => * before + and -

(2*3) + 4 - 62=             => 2*3 = 6

6 + 4 -62 =                   => 6 + 4 = 10

10 - 62 =

-52

Thank you,

Reactant A can participate in both of these reactions:
user100 [1]
The activation energy is the amount of energy required to initiate a certain reaction. The activation energy may considered as an "energy barrier" that has to be overcome in order for a reaction to begin. If a reaction has a lower activation energy, then it will occur more easily and at a faster rate than a reaction with a higher activation energy. Therefore, the reason that reaction 1 is faster than reaction 2 is because it has a lower activation energy than reaction 2.

What is the ratio of the area of sector ABC to the area of sector DBE?
shusha [124]

We have to find the" ratio of the area of sector ABC to the area of sector DBE".

Now,

the general formula for the area of sector is

Area of sector= 1/2 r²θ

where r is the radius and θ is the central angle in radian.


180°= π rad

1° = π/180 rad


For sector ABC, area= 1/2 (2r)²(β°)

= 1/2 *4r²*(π/180 β)

= 2r²(π/180 β)

For sector DBE, area= 1/2 (r)²(3β°)

= 1/2 *r²*3(π/180 β)

= 3/2 r²(π/180 β)

Now ratio,

Area of sector ABC/Area of sector DBE =\frac{2r^{2}*\ \frac{\pi}{180} beta}{3/2 r^{2}*\ \frac{\pi}{180}beta}

= 4/3

To reduce wear and tear on the family vehicle, you decide to rent a car. Happy Harry’s Rentals has a $500 fee for any rental up
yan [13]

Let's use 8 days as the maximum time we are going to be renting the car.

Putting that into the equation means, 500$ for Harry's Rentals and Smilin' Sam's at $600.

Therefore, Happy Harry's Rentals are better for the 7th and 8th days while Smiling Sam's are the better from day's 1 to 6.

Work:

500$ is a fixed value so it doesn't change (constant)

200 + 50x

x = days

8 days = 8x

200 + 50(8)

200 + 400 = 600
