Answer:

5x - 43

Explanation:

Given the below expression;

$4\left(3x-2\right)-7\left(x+5\right)$

To simplify the above, we'll go ahead and use the numbers outside the parentheses to multiply the ones inside to clear the parentheses as seen below;

$\begin{gathered} 12x-8-7x-35 \\ =12x-7x-8-35 \\ =5x-43 \end{gathered}$

So the answer is 5x - 43

xxMikexx [17]

All this question is asking you to do is multiply 65 and 7. The 7 comes from the amount of days in a week. The product of these numbers is 455.

Maria did 455 sit-ups in a week.

A gazelle runs 780 feet in 12 seconds. Angela wants to determine how far a gazelle could run in 1 minute at this rate. Explain h

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

In 1 min a gazelle runs 3,900 ft.

As a fraction, 1/65

In order to find the solution to this problem you could use a table.

Since we are using seconds we have to convert the 1 min = 60 seconds.

Sec | 12 | 60

Fts | 780 | x

12 goes into 60 5 times, so we have to multiply 780 by 5 which gives us 3900.

x=3900

Answer:

The maximum possible number of mosquitoes is 25 millions

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

m(x) -----> the number of mosquitoes in Minneapolis, Minnesota (in millions of mosquitoes)

x ----> the rainfall in centimeters

we have

$m(x)=-(x-5)^{2} +25$

This is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open downward

The vertex is the maximum

we know that

The maximum possible number of mosquitoes is equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex

Find out the coordinate of the vertex

The general equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is equal to

$y=a(x-h)^{2} +k$

where

a is a coefficient

(h,k) is the vertex

In this problem

a=-1 (open downward)

(h,k)=(5,25)

The y-coordinate is 25

therefore

The maximum possible number of mosquitoes is 25 millions
