The product of the given expression is -120. Option A is correct

<h3>Product of negative numbers.</h3>

Given the expression below as shown;

−5⋅(−3)⋅(−8)

Since the product of two negative number is equal to positive, then;

−5⋅(−3)⋅(−8) = -8(5*3)

Simplify the result to have:

-8 * 15

find the final product

-8 * 15 = -8(5+10)

-8 * 15 = -40 - 80

-8 * 15 = -120

Hence the product of the given expression is -120

There are 12 red marbles and 8 green marbles in a bag. What is the probability of selecting a red

madam [21]

Answer:

The probability of selecting a red marble, not replacing it, and then selecting a green marble from the bag is 24/95

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red marbles = 12

Number of green marbles = 8

Total number of marbles = 12+8 = 20

Probability of selecting red marble = $\frac{12}{20}$

Since it is the case of no replacement

Remaining marbles = 20-1 = 19

Number of red marbles = 12-1=11

Number of green marbles = 8

Probability of selecting green marble = $\frac{8}{19}$

So, the probability of selecting a red marble, not replacing it, and then selecting a green marble from the bag = $\frac{12}{20} \times \frac{8}{19}=\frac{24}{95}$

Hence the probability of selecting a red marble, not replacing it, and then selecting a green marble from the bag is 24/95

Answer:

The factors of $2(x+y)^2-9(x+y)-5$ is ((x+y)-5)(2x+2y+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial

=> $2(x+y)^2-9(x+y)-5$

To Find:

The factors of the polynomial =?

Solution:

Lets assume k = (x+y)

Then $2(x+y)^2-9(x+y)-5$ can be written as $2k^2-9k-5$

Now by using quadratic formula

k = $\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{(b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

where

a= 2

b= -9

c= -5

Substituting the values, we get

k = $\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{(b^2-4ac)}}{2a}$

k = $\frac{-(-9) \pm \sqrt{((-9)^2-4(2)(-5)}}{2(2))}$

k = $\frac{-(-9) \pm \sqrt{(81+40)}}{4}$

k = $\frac{-(-9) \pm \sqrt{(121)}}{4}$

k = $\frac{-(-9) \pm 11}}{4}$

k= $\frac{ 9 \pm 11}{4}$

k = $\frac{20}{4}$ k = $\frac{-2}{4}$

$k_1 =5$ $k_2 = -\frac{1}{2}$

$2k^2-9k-5= 2(k-5)(k+\frac{1}{2})$

Solving the RHS we get

$\frac{2}{2}(k-5)(2k+1)$

$(k-5)(2k+1)$

Substituting k = x+y

$((x+y)-5)(2(x+y+1)$

$((x+y)-5)(2x+2y+1)$

PLEASEEEEEEE HELPPPPP

coldgirl [10]

If their perimeters are equal, we can add up all the side lengths of each triangle, and set the perimeters equal to each other to find the value of x that satisfies the equation:

x - 2 + x + 3x + 1 = 2x - 5 + x + 4 + 6x - 7

Combine like terms:

5x - 1 = 9x - 8

And finally, solve for x:

7 = 4x

x = $\frac{7}{4}$

Therefore, x is equal to $\frac{7}{4}$ .

<em>Hope this helps! :)</em>
