Hi! I'm Jenny and I'm a mathematician! I'd love to help you with this problem! :)
Lets get started...
I'll write the equation out for you!
x + x(xx)
Put the value of x = 2 in the above expression we get,
2 + 2(22)
= 2 + 2(2 × 2)
= 2 + 2(4)
= 2 + 8
= 10
Answer:
-5x^2-2x
Step-by-step explanation:
When distributing, you multiply the term outside the brackets to all the terms in brackets.
If the term outside the bracket is negative, then when distributing/opening the brackets, the signs of the terms changes.
So in this prob. -x would multiply to both +5x and +2
-x*5x+-x*2
∴-5x^2-2x
Answer:
x= -5
Step-by-step explanation:
-7x + 5(2x - 1) = -20
-7x + 10x - 5 = -20
3x -5 = -20
3x = -15
x = -5
The first two rows of coefficients are identical, so by inspection, the determinant is 0.
