The equivalent expression on expanding -1/4 (-8x + 12y) is 2x - 3y

<h3>Expansion of expression</h3>

Expansion of expression can be carried out using the distributive rule a shown:

A(B + C) = AB + AC

Note that <u>A is distributed over B and C</u>
Given the expression

-1/4 (-8x + 12y)

-1/4(-8x) - 1/4(12y)

2x - 3y

Hence the equivalent expression on expanding -1/4 (-8x + 12y) is 2x - 3y

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

ΔCAD and ΔCBD

∠A ≅∠B (Angle)

AD ≅BD (Side)

From the graph we see that

CD≅CD (Side)

because of reflexive propriety ( a line segment is congruent with itself)

If you put in order those congruencies we have SSA witch does NOT prove congruence.

we not use SAS because the angle between the sides is not congruent

For a vertical projectile, the equation of motion is expressed h(t)=g+bt+c, where g is gravity, b is the initial upward velocity, and c is the starting height. The maxima of this equation is given by -b/2g, which in this case would be -56/-32, or 1.75 seconds after launch

How to do the problem

marta [7]

There are 153 people who each ate 1/4 pounds. Therefore, the amount of watermelon eaten is 153/4 pounds.
The amount of watermelon served is
$8 \frac{1}{4} + 9 \frac{1}{4} + 8 \frac{7}{8} + 9 \frac{5}{8} + 10 \frac{3}{4}$
$= \frac{8 \times 4 + 1}{4} + \frac{9 \times 4 + 1}{4} \\ + \frac{8 \times 8 + 7}{8} + \frac{9 \times 8 + 5}{8} \\ + \frac{10 \times 4 + 3}{4}$
$= \frac{33}{4} + \frac{37}{4} + \frac{71}{8} + \frac{77}{8} + \frac{43}{4} \\ = \frac{33 \times 2}{4 \times 2} + \frac{37 \times 2}{4 \times 2} + \frac{71}{8} \\ + \frac{77}{8} + \frac{43 \times 2}{4 \times 2}$
$= \frac{66 + 74 + 71 + 77 + 86}{8}$
$= \frac{374}{8} = \frac{186}{4}$
There is 186/4 total watermelon. Minus the 153/4 that was eaten,
$\frac{186 - 153}{4} = \frac{33}{4} = 8 \frac{1}{4}$

The leftover watermelon is 8 & 1/4 pounds.
