OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have more i need help with too.

OpenStudy (ccswims):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but can you help me solve this problem first?

OpenStudy (ccswims):

ok so first since we have no parenthesis exponents, or multiplication we must do division first. Do \[16 \div 2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8

OpenStudy (ccswims):

ok, now following left to right do\[20 + 8 \]

OpenStudy (catlover5925):

your final answer will be 23 because you do 16/2 then add 20 then subtract 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

28

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so d

OpenStudy (ccswims):

yea, then subtract 5 and there is your answer

Which graph represents the solutions to the inequality |3x - 6| > 3? number line with an open circle on 1, shading to the left and an open circle on 3, shading to the right number line with an open circle on 1, shading to the right and an open circle on 3, shading to the left number line with a closed circle on 1, shading to the right and a closed circle on 3, shading to the left number line with a closed circle on 1, shading to the left and a closed circle on 3, shading to the right

OpenStudy (ccswims):

cancel out 6 by adding Do 3 + 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

OpenStudy (ccswims):

Now you have 3x > 9 You must get x by itself so do 9 divided by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (ccswims):

ok, and we know since it is > that it will have a OPEN circle going to the RIGHT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (ccswims):

So A is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok wanna help with some more

OpenStudy (ccswims):

sure

Zen wants to fill a window box with soil. The length of the window box is 5 feet, width is 6 inches, and height is 9 inches. Each bag of soil contains 0.625 cubic foot of soil. How many bags of soil will Zen need to fill the window box completely? [1 foot = 12 inches]

OpenStudy (ccswims):

First we must do V = lwh But to do that we must convert 5 feet to inches 5 ft = 60 Now plugging it in you do 60 * 6 * 9

OpenStudy (ccswims):

Now how many inches is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3,240

OpenStudy (ccswims):

And now we need to convert that back to feet again because they are using 0.625 cubic feet So we you just do 3,240 divided by 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

270

OpenStudy (ccswims):

and now divide by 270/ 0.625

OpenStudy (anonymous):

432

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doesnt even make sence

OpenStudy (ccswims):

What doesn't make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

270 divided by .625 comes out to 432

OpenStudy (ccswims):

because it's a decimal, and when you multiply a decimal by a whole number it goes smaller, dividing it makes it bigger. It's because it's not over 0

OpenStudy (ccswims):

But yea, he will need 432 bags of soil

OpenStudy (ccswims):

i gtg now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okkkk thanks
