The temperature on a summer afternoon is 76°F. Define a variable and write an expression to find the temperature after it change

s. Then evaluate your expression for a decrease of 8 degrees Fahrenheit.
A. 8 – c; 8 – (–76) = 68; 68°F

B. 76 – c; 76 – (–8) = 84; 84°F

C. 76 + c; 76 + (–8) = 68; 68°F

Letting "c" be the value of the temperature change, looking at the choices, the nearest answer would be C. " 76 + c; 76 + (–8) = 68; 68°F ".

76 is the base or current temperature, then c would be the change in temperature experience. Since a decrease of 8 degrees is to be experienced, it is denoted by the negative symbol on 8.

A rectangular garden has a width that is 8 feet less than twice the length. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 20 feet.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

length = 6 feet

width = 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the dimensions of the rectangle, you can set up a variable and an expression that will equal the perimeter of the figure.  Given l = length, width is '8 feet less than twice the length' or w = 2l - 8.

The general formula for perimeter of a rectangle is:

2w + 2l = P, where w = width and l = length

Using the variable and expression from above and the perimeter of 20 feet:

2(2l - 8)+ 2l = 20

distribute: 4l - 16 + 2l = 20

combine like terms: 6l - 16 = 20

add 16 to both sides: 6l - 16 + 16 = 20 + 16 or 6l = 36

divide and solve for 'l':  6l/6 = 36/6, or l = 6 feet

solve for 'w':  w = 2(6) - 8 or w = 12 - 8 = 4 feet

22. What is the percent of increase for a population<br> that changed from 438,000 to 561,000?
ra1l [238]

Answer: 28.08%

Step-by-step explanation: To find the percent increase, we divide the amount of change by the original number.

The amount of change is the difference between the two numbers which in this case is 561,000 - 438,000 and the original number is 438,000.

561,000 - 438,000 is 123,000 so we are left with 123,000 divided by 438,000 which is 0<em>.</em>2808. Finally, since our problem is asking us for a percent, we write 0<em>.</em>2808 as a percent by moving the decimal point two places to the right to get 28.08%.

So when the population changes from 438,000 to 561,000, it has increased by 28.08%.

Ms. Banerjee bought a car for $22,500. The amount she paid for her new car was twice the amount she paid for her previous car, w
bagirrra123 [75]

You didn't say if the car bought is the new car or the old car so I'm assuming the car bought for $22,500 is the new car.

You divide 22,500 by 2 to get the cost of the old car. When you do this, you find out the old car costed $11,250.

the equation is 22,500/2=p


If $22,500 is the cost of the old car, then it's not my fault that the poster did not make it clear. If the previous car costed $22,500, then the previous car costed $22,500

Which expression is equivalent to the given polynomial expression?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

C. -31m⁴n - 8m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(9mn - 19m⁴n) - (8m² + 12m⁴n + 9mn)

Required:

Determine an expression equivalent to it

Solution:

(9mn - 19m⁴n) - (8m² + 12m⁴n + 9mn)

Distribute the negative sign to open the parentheses

9mn - 19m⁴n - 8m² - 12m⁴n - 9mn

Combine like terms

9mn - 9mn - 19m⁴n - 12m⁴n - 8m²

-31m⁴n - 8m²

Therefore, -31m⁴n - 8m² is an equivalent expression of (9mn - 19m⁴n) - (8m² + 12m⁴n + 9mn)
