Answer:

2(2n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of books Theo has read

Then 4x = four times the number of books Theo has read.

And 4n - 2 = 2 less than four times the number of books Theo has read

But 4n -2 = the number of books Maya has read

Factor the expression

4n - 2 = 2(2n - 1)

The factored expression is 2(2n - 1).

3x+y=15 3x-y=15 (using elimination method)

morpeh [17]

Answer:

x = 5

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + y = 15

3x -y = 15

Add the two equations;

6x = 30

Inverse operations;

6x = 30

/6 /6

x = 5

Back substitute;

3(5) + y = 15

15 + y = 15

y = 0

AB and BC form a right angle at point B if A = (-3,-1) and B = (4,4) what is the equation if BC

sergejj [24]

Answer:

$7x+5y-48=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure .

We are given a line AB

Point A $=(x_1,y_1) = (-3,-1)$

Point B $=(x_2,y_2) = (4,4)$

Formula for slope 'm' when two points are given :

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substituting thew values

$m=\frac{4-(-1)}{4-(-3)}$

$m=\frac{5}{7}$

Since we are given that AB is perpendicular to BC

So, By property - perpendicular slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.

$\Rightarrow m_1\times m_2 =-1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{7}\times m_2 =-1$

$\Rightarrow m_2 = \frac{-7}{5}$

So, Slope for line BC : $m_2 = \frac{-7}{5}$

Point B = (4,4)

Formula of equation of line : $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y-4=\frac{-7}{5}(x-4)$

$5(y-4)=-7(x-4)$

$5y-20=-7x+28$

$7x+5y-20-28=0$

$7x+5y-48=0$

Hence the equation of line BC : $7x+5y-48=0$

Evaluate (x + y)0 for x = -3 and y = 5. A. -1/2 B. 0 C. 1 D. 2

Anastasy [175]

Hello there! With the values of "x" and "y", they fill in the parenthesis. -3 + 5 is 2, because adding into a negative makes the number go up, or just simply subtracting 3 from 5 works as well. However, there is a 0 beside it, so we raise 2 to the 0 power. Anything that is raised to the 0 power is always equal to 1. And there is no other part of the question, so 1 is our answer. The answer is C: 1.
