The distance to the grocery store is 13.456 miles. Round this distance to
the nearest whole number,

13 miles

Step-by-step explanation: If you're rounding to the nearest whole number your answer should not consist of a decimal. You are rounding based on your tens place because you're trying to find the nearest whole number. Your tenths place value is 0.4. In order to know if you're rounding up or down you have to rememeber anything between 0-4 you round down (keep the number the same). Anything 5-9 you're rounding up the next number.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
