Answer:

$\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{-6x-14}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, you need to expand by the distributive property.

Distributive property:

$\Longrightarrow: \sf{A(B+C)=AB+AC}$

$\Longrightarrow: \sf{A(B-C)=AB-AC}$

-6(x+2)-2

Expand.

-6*x=-6x

-6*2=-12

Then, rewrite the expression down.

-6x-12

-6x-12-2

Subtract the numbers from left to right.

-12-2=-14

$\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{-6x-14}}$

Therefore, the correct answer is -6x-14.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Good luck with your assignment!

Billy has x marbles. Write an

babymother [125]

Answer:

$Charlie = 5 + x$

$Danny = x - 8$

$Eric = 3x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Billy's Marble = x

Required

Determine a,b and c

a. Charlie's Marble

"5 more" means 5 + or + 5

Since Billy's Marble is represented with x, then Charlie's Marbles will be

$Charlie = 5 + x$

b. Danny's Marbles

Having "8 fewer" means we have to subtract 8 from Billy's marble;

Since Billy's Marble is represented with x, then Danny's Marbles will be

$Danny = x - 8$

c. Eric Marbles

Having "three times as " means we have to multiply Bill's marble by 3;

Since Billy's Marble is represented with x, then Danny's Marbles will be

$Eric = 3 * x$

$Eric = 3x$

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (-2,1) and has a gradient of -3.

zavuch27 [327]

A straight line passing through the point (-2,1) and having a gradient of -3 yields the equation y = -3x - 5.

We know that a straight line is an infinitely long line with no curves on it. A straight line's equation is

y = mx + c...(1), where m is the gradient of the straight line and c is a constant.

Given that the gradient of the given straight line = m = -3.

Putting this value in (1), we get

y = -3x + c ...(2)

Again, the given straight line passes through the point (-2,1). So, we can put x = -2 and y = 1 to get the value of the constant c.

So, 1 = (-3)(-2) + c

i.e. 6 + c = 1

i.e. c = 1 - 6 = -5

(2) can be written as

y = -3x - 5

Therefore the equation of the given straight line is

y = -3x - 5

Two hikers come to a ravine and want to know how wide it is. They set up two similar triangles as shown in the diagram. How far

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

d = 80 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with angle BCA, tan(BCA) = 30/15 so BCA = 63.43 degrees.

BCA = ECD since they are opposite angles.

tan ECD = d/40

40 tan(63.4degrees) = d

d = 80 ft

Alternatively, you can use similar triangles since the angles are the same, BCA = ECD, CED = CAB, and CBA = EDC. In that case use proportions to get 30/15 = d/40 so 2 = d/40 and d = 80.
