Are the expressions 5 ( x - 3) and 5x + 15 equivalent? use the distributive property to support your answer

Mathematics

ratelena [41]2 years ago
3 0

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: No, they aren't. If you look at 5 and multiply (distribute) it to <u>negative</u> three you will end up with -15. And 15 is not equal to negative 15.

I hope this helps!

50 Points!
Advocard [28]
Well, 50 points total given, 25 points per user  and 13 bonus for brainliest

anyway


1.
add them equations, the y's will cancel
x+2y=4
<span>3x-2y=4 +</span>
4x+0y=8

4x=8
divide by 4 both sides
x=2
sub back
x+2y=4
2+2y=4
minus 2
2y=2
divide 2
y=1
x=2
y=1
(x,y)
(2,1) is solution


2.
the solution is where they intersect
multiply 2nd equation by 2 and add to first
4x-14y=6
<span>-4x+14y=-6 +</span>
0x+0y=0
0=0
infinite solutions

that is because they are actually the same line
the solutions are (x,y) such that they satisfy -2x+7y=-3 or 4x-14y=6 (same equaiton)
infinite solutions



3.
multiply first equation by 2 and add to first
4x+2y=-6
<span>1x-2y=-4 +</span>
5x+0y=-10

5x=-10
divide by 5 both sides
x=-2
sub bac
x-2y=-4
-2-2y=-4
add 2
-2y=-2
divide by -2
y=1

x=-2
y=1
(x,y)
(-2,1)


4.
coincident means they are the same line
so

we see that we have to multiply 4 by 2 to get 8
multiply top equation by 2
8x+10y=16
8x+By=C
B=10 and C=16


5.
a. false, either 0, 1, or infinity solutions
change the word 'two' to 'one' or 'zero' or 'infinite', or change 'can' into 'can't'

b.false
 'sometimes' to 'always'

c. true

d. false, change 'sometimes' to 'always'


EC
total cost=150
TC=childC+adultC
TC=3c+5a
150=3c+5a


40 tickets, c+a
40=c+a

the equations are
150=3c+5a and
40=c+a

eliminate
multiply 2nd equaton by -3 and ad to first one

150=3c+5a
<span>-120=-3c-3a +</span>
30=0c+2a

30=2a
divide by 2
15=a

sub back
40=c+a
40=c+15
minus 15
25=c

25 children tickets and 15 adult tickets were sold


ANSWERS:

1.
(2,1) is solution

2.
infinite solutions

3.
(-2,1)

4.
B=10 and C=16

5.
a. false,
change the word 'two' to 'one' or 'zero' or 'infinite', or change 'can' into 'can't'

b.false
 'sometimes' to 'always'

c. true

d. false, change 'sometimes' to 'always'

EC
the equations are
150=3c+5a and
40=c+a

A pair of shoes is in a ‘35% off’ sale. The recommended retail price (RRP) is £86. How much do the shoes cost in the sale?
9966 [12]

Answer:

Without tax the shoes would cost £55.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this you take the £86 and multiply it by 0.65 because with the 35% sale you are paying for 65% of the item. You get this number by subtracting 35 from 100 and convert it into a decimal.
