Math Problem Statement

answer all of these quetions given in the image attached and give a breif explanation of why

Solve the following math problems (based on attached image).

Solution

I can see the questions from the image now. Let's solve them one by one:


Question 7:

How many minutes are there in 2h2h hours and 6m6m minutes?

We know there are 60 minutes in an hour. So to convert 2h2h hours to minutes: 2h=2×60=120 minutes.2h = 2 \times 60 = 120 \text{ minutes}. Thus, the total number of minutes is: 120+6m.120 + 6m. The correct answer is:

  • D) 120h+60m120h + 60m

Question 8:

Sequence of operations:

  1. Add 5 to a number nn.
  2. Divide by 8.
  3. Subtract 1.
  4. Multiply by 8.

We start with the expression nn, and follow the operations in order:

  1. Add 5 to nn: n+5n + 5
  2. Divide by 8: n+58\frac{n + 5}{8}
  3. Subtract 1: n+581=n+5888=n38\frac{n + 5}{8} - 1 = \frac{n + 5}{8} - \frac{8}{8} = \frac{n - 3}{8}
  4. Multiply by 8: n38×8=n3\frac{n - 3}{8} \times 8 = n - 3

The correct answer is:

  • C) n3n - 3

Question 9:

Simplifying the expression:

(2yx)2(y2z)4(x+z)(2y - x) - 2(y - 2z) - 4(x + z)

  1. Distribute the terms: 2yx2(y2z)4(x+z)=2yx2y+4z4x4z2y - x - 2(y - 2z) - 4(x + z) = 2y - x - 2y + 4z - 4x - 4z
  2. Simplify by combining like terms: (2y2y)+(x4x)+(4z4z)=5x(2y - 2y) + (-x - 4x) + (4z - 4z) = -5x

The correct answer is:

  • B) 5x-5x

Question 10:

Evaluate x2+x20+x200\frac{x}{2} + \frac{x}{20} + \frac{x}{200} when x=10x = 10:

Substitute x=10x = 10 into the expression: 102+1020+10200=5+0.5+0.05\frac{10}{2} + \frac{10}{20} + \frac{10}{200} = 5 + 0.5 + 0.05

Summing these gives: 5+0.5+0.05=5.555 + 0.5 + 0.05 = 5.55

The correct answer is:

  • 5.55

Question 11:

If xx and yy are positive integers and 2x+5y=182x + 5y = 18, what is the value of xx?

We will try values of yy to find integer solutions:

  1. Let y=2y = 2: 2x+5(2)=18    2x+10=18    2x=8    x=42x + 5(2) = 18 \implies 2x + 10 = 18 \implies 2x = 8 \implies x = 4

Thus, when y=2y = 2, x=4x = 4.

The correct answer is:

  • x=4x = 4

Question 12:

If a=3a = 3, b=1b = -1, and c=2c = -2, find the value of the expression:

7×a12+(2b)c+37 \times \frac{a - 12 + (2 - b)}{c + 3}

Substitute the values of aa, bb, and cc: 7×312+(2(1))2+3=7×312+31=7×(6+3)=7×(3)=217 \times \frac{3 - 12 + (2 - (-1))}{-2 + 3} = 7 \times \frac{3 - 12 + 3}{1} = 7 \times (-6 + 3) = 7 \times (-3) = -21

The correct answer is:

  • 21-21

Do you need more details on any of the explanations or the concepts involved?

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How would the answer in Question 7 change if there were more than 60 minutes in an hour?
  2. Can you generalize the sequence of operations in Question 8 for other numbers instead of 5?
  3. How would you simplify a different expression involving multiple variables like Question 9?
  4. How does the concept of substitution help in solving Question 10?
  5. What other systems of equations can you solve by trial and error like in Question 11?

Tip: When working with equations, always remember to follow the order of operations—parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, and then addition/subtraction.
