Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3a + b

a = 1.4 - 2x

b = -0.2x + 1.7

3 ( 1.4 - 2x ) + -0.2x + 1.7

= 4.2 - 6x - 0.2x + 1.7

= 4.2 + 1.7 - 6x - 0.2x ( by rearranging the like terms )

= 5.9 - 6.2 x

hope this helps

Answer:5.9-6.2x

Step-by-step explanation:

a=1.4-2x

b=-0.2x+1.7

3a+b

=3(1.4-2x)+(-0.2x+1.7)

=4.2-6x-0.2x+1.7

=4.2+1.7-6x-0.2x

=5.9-6.2x

In the figure, AngleRQS Is-congruent-to AngleQLK. 3 lines are shown. Lines S P and K N are parallel. Line R M intersects line S

stepan [7]

Answer:

x=108

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

m∠RQS≅m∠QLK -----> by corresponding angles

m∠KLM+m∠QLK=180° -----> by supplementary angles (consecutive interior angles)

we have that

m∠RQS=x° ----> given problem

m∠QLX=x°

m∠KLM=(x-36)° ----> given problem

substitute

$(x-36)\°+x\°=180\°\\2x=180+36\\2x=216\\x=108$

Write an equivalent expression for 4(a+5)

Drupady [299]

$\huge \boxed{4a+20}$

We can do this using the distributive property, which states that $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ .

Distribute the $4$ to the $a$ and the $5$ . $4a+4(5)$

Multiply. $\displaystyle \boxed{4a+20}$
