Jim cash the paycheck and went shopping he spent 3/8 of it on a mower 2/5 of it on at chainsaw and 180 On Tools if he has 270 left how much was his paycheck worth

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Declaration

Let the original amount of the paycheck be x

Equation

Paycheck - cost of mower - cost of chainsaw - 180 = 270

x - [(3/8)x + (2/5)x + 180] =  270

Solve

Change 3/8 and 2/5 to a common denominator and add.

3*5/8*5 + 2*8/5*8 = 15/40 + 16/30 = 31/40

x - [(31/40)x + 180] = 270                 Remove the outer brackets

x - (31/40)x - 180 = 270                    Evaluate the "x"s

40/40x - 31/40x - 180 = 270        

9x/40 - 180 = 270                          Add 180 to both sides

9x/40 = 180 + 270

9x/40 = 450                                  Multiply by 40

9x = 18000                                    Divide by 9

x = 18000/9

x = 2000

His paycheck was 2000 dollars.

Write an expression for the sequence of operations described below.triple t, add the result to u, then multiply what you have by v

Do not simplify any part of the expression.

Answers

triple t ⇒ 3t
add the result to u ⇒ 3t + u
multiply what you have by v ⇒ (3t + u)v

Since it is instructed not to simplify, we perform the distributive property of multiplication.

(3t + u)v = 3tv + uv

When 4((0.5 x + 2.5 y minus 0.7 x minus 1.3 y + 4)) is simplified, what is the resulting expression?

Answers

Answer:

-0.8x + 4.8y + 16          

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to simplify the given expression:

4(0.5x + 2.5y-0.7x-1.3y+4)

First we group all the like terms of x.

4((0.5x-0.7x) + 2.5y-1.3y+4))\n=4(-0.2x+ 2.5y-1.3y+4)

Next we group all the like terms of y.

4(-0.2x+ (2.5y-1.3y)+4)\n=4(-0.2x+1.2y+4)

Now, we use distributive property for the multiplication,

4(-0.2x+1.2y+4)\n=(4* -0.2x) + (4* 1.2y) + (4* 4)\n=-0.8x + 4.8y + 16

is the required simplified expression.

Answer:

-0.8x + 4.8y + 16
