Use the FOIL method to multiply these terms. Multiply the first, outside, inside, and last terms:
(5x - 4)(2x - 5)
(5x)(2x) + (5x)(-5) + (-4)(2x) + (-4)(-5)
10x² - 25x - 8x + 20
10x² - 33x + 20
The area of the rectangle should be 10x² - 33x + 20.
Log7 (x+3) - log7 (x-3) = 1
log7 [(x+3) / (x-3)] = 1
raise both sides to power of 7
(x+3) / (x-3) = 7
7x – 21 = x + 3
6x = 24
x = 4
19.164 can be rounded to 19.2. That is because 0.164 is closer to 0.2 than it is to 0.1
9.53 rounded the the nearest tenth is 9.5 because 0.53 is closer to 0.5 than it is to 0.6.
19.2 - 9.5 = 9.7
Your answer is 9.7
Simply substitute x for -3 and y for -5, creating the equation shown below:
-6 (-3 - 2(-5) )
Now that you have your values set up, now you can do the math by starting off with Multiplying -2 by -5, which will get you 10.
Now that you have the parenthesis simplified in the parenthesis, you can use the distributive property by multiplying all the numbers with -6, like so:
-6(-3+10)= 18 - 60, which simplifies to -42, in which (A) is your answer.
