B: Apply the distributive property to get 4x - 12=9

Ok, so first you would distribute because you can't get at the inside of parnthasees with that nasty 4

so distributive property to do
4(x-3)=4x-4(3)=4x-12
so B is answer

you could divide both sides by 4, but that wouldmake it harder

B is answer

Consider the equation below.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The equation has no solutions .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The linear equation is

$\dfrac{3}{4}$ (24 -16 x) = $\dfrac{-2}{3}$ (18 x -27)

Or, $\dfrac{3}{4}$ ×24 - $\dfrac{3}{4}$ × 16 x = $\dfrac{-2}{3}$ × 18 x - $\dfrac{-2}{3}$ × 27

Or, $\dfrac{3}{4}$ ×24 - $\dfrac{3}{4}$ × 16 x = $\dfrac{-2}{3}$ × 18 x + $\dfrac{2}{3}$ × 27

Or, $\frac{3\times 24}{4}$ - $\frac{3\times 16 x}{4}$ = $\frac{-2\times 18 x}{3}$ + $\frac{2\times 27 x}{3}$

Or, 3 × 6 - 3 × 4 x = - 2 × 6 x + 2 × 9

Or, 18 - 12 x = - 12 x + 18

Or, 18 - 18 = - 12 x + 12 x

or, 0 = 0

∵ The linear equation has no variables , so the equation has no solution

Hence,The equation has no solutions . Answer

The probability that an event will occur is 2/3. which one of these best describes the likelihood of the event occurring?

Andrej [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The probability that an event will occur is 2/3.

Means out of 3 times, 2 times that event will occur.

Please refer the pie chart for this, blue is the color which represents event to be occur and orange is not to be occur.

We can see, blue part is much more than orange part.

means the likelihood of event occuring is LIKELY. : Answer

Hope it will help :)

Simplify to create an equivalent expression. −5(1−5k)−4(2k+5)

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

17 k + -25

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-5 (1 - 5 k) - 4 (2 k + 5)

-5 (1 - 5 k) = 25 k - 5:

25 k - 5 - 4 (2 k + 5)

-4 (2 k + 5) = -8 k - 20:

25 k + -8 k - 20 - 5

Grouping like terms, 25 k - 8 k - 20 - 5 = (25 k - 8 k) + (-5 - 20):

(25 k - 8 k) + (-5 - 20)

25 k - 8 k = 17 k:

17 k + (-5 - 20)

-5 - 20 = -25:

Answer: 17 k + -25
