The equation would be x+5*-2=6.

The result of that equation would be x=16

X+5-(-2)=6
Subtract 5 from 5 and 6 which will give you x+(-2)=6 then subtract -2 which gives you x=8

How do you explain to estimate 368+231 in two different ways
Ludmilka [50]
You can use the break apart strategy which would look like:
368+231= 300+60+8 + 200+30+1
Or you could just plain and simple add 368+231

which equation is in slope-intercept form and represents a line with slope 3 through the point (9,-4)
krek1111 [17]

Slope-intercept form is y = mx +b, where the variable m represents the slope of the line and the variable b represents the y-intercept of the line. Since we weren't given the y-intercept, one way to solve this problem is substitute the slope for the variable m and then the x and y values from the ordered pair to solve for b.

y = mx + b

y = 3x + b

-4 = 3(9) + b

Now, we can simplify by computing the multiplication on the right side of the equation.

-4 = 27 + b

Finally, we can find the value for b by subtracting 27 from both sides of the equation to get:

-31 = b

Now, we should substitute this value for b back into our equation with the slope.

y = 3x - 31

Therefore, your answer is y = 3x - 31.

Hope this helps!

Jack has a 8-ft long board. he cut off 1/6 of it how long is the remaining piece in feet and inches
mars1129 [50]
First, let's find out the equivalent amount of one-sixth of the total length of 8 ft.

Length of cut = 8(1/6) = 4/3 ft

So, the remaining length would be:
Remaining length = 8 ft - 4/3 ft = 20/3 ft or that's 6 and 2/3 ft.

Since there are 12 inches in 1 ft:
2/3 ft * 12 in/ft = 8 inches

Thus, the remaining length is 6 ft and 8 inches.

Explain how to write an equivalent expression using the associative property.
posledela

Answer:

11+(2+y)

Step-by-step explanation:

The associative property says that you can move numbers inside the parentheses around if all the numbers are the same operation in a simple sense

So that means in this case: 2+(11+y)

We can switch the 2 and the 11 around since they are both the same, addition.

11+(2+y)

An in-ground pond has the shape of a rectangular prism. The pond has a depth of 24 inches and a volume of 72,000 cubic inches. T
Ksenya-84 [330]
Let
x-------> <span>the length of the pond
</span>y-------> the  width of the pond

we know that
[volume of the pond]=area of the base*deep
area of the base=volume/deep
volume=72000 in³
deep=24 in
area of the base=72000/24------> 3000 in²

area of the base=x*y
3000=x*y-------> equation 1
x=2y-----> equation 2

substitute equation 2 in equation 1
3000=[2y]*y------> 2y²=3000-----> y²=1500------> y=38.7 in
x=2y----> x=2*38.7----> x=77.4 in

the answer is
the length of the pond is 77.4 in
the  width of the pond is 38.7 in
