In order to solve this problem, the approach should be formulating equations such that they form a system of linear equations. Let's start by assigning variables. Let x be the number of homeruns made by Peter, and y be the number of homeruns made by Alice. Therefore,

x = 2(y - 6)

This is the equation for the relationship between Peter's and Alice's hits. The second equation would be the sum of their hits:

x + y = 18

These are the two independent equations in order to solve the two unknowns, x and y. Substituting the first equation into the second equation,

2(y - 6) + y = 18
2y - 12 + y = 18
3y = 18 + 12
3y = 30
y = 10

Using y=10 to the first equation:
x = 2(10 - 6)
x = 8

Therefore, Peter made 8 homeruns, while Alice made 10 homeruns for a total of 18.

Which equation represent a line that passes through (-2,4) and has a slope of 2/5
Mila [183]
Equation of a line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1); where m is the slope.
y - 4 = 2/5 (x - (-2))
y - 4 = 2/5 (x + 2)

The measure of an obtuse angle is given as (3x-42). What inequality describes all the possible values if x for the angel
Masteriza [31]

Answer: x > 74

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

An obtuse angle is greater than 180°.  So, 3x - 42 must be greater than 180.

  • 3x - 42 > 180
  • <u>      +42   +42</u>
  • 3x         > 222
  • <u>÷3              ÷3</u>
  •   x         > 74

Product of polynomials can be done by using distributive property of multiplication over addition. The needed product is: Option

<h3>What is distributive property of multiplication over addition?</h3>

Suppose a, b and c are three numbers. Then we have:

a(b + c) = a\times b + a\times c

(a(b+c) means a multiplied to (b+c). The sign of multiplication is usually hidden when using symbols and both quantities which are in multiplication are written together without space)

<h3>What are like terms?</h3>

Those terms which have same variables raised with same powers.

For example, 5x^3 and x^3 are like terms since variable is same, and it is raised to same power 3.

For example x^3 and 4x^4 are not like terms as the variables are same but powers aren't same.

For the given case, the expression is 2x^4(3x^2 +4x +1)

Using the distributive property of multiplication over addition, we get the product result as:

2x^4(3x^2 +4x +1) = 6x^{4+2} + 8x^{4+1} + 2x^4 = 6x^6 + 8x^5 + 2x^4

(when like terms are multiplied, powers are added of the variables (same variable) due to property  a^b \times a^c = a^{b+c} )
