Alexander says that 3x + 4y is equivalent to (3)(4) + xy because of any order, any grouping. Is he correct why or why not

Mathematics

Answer:

Alexander is incorrect because the expressions are not equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the expression is evaluated for any value of x, y; the result will not be same.

For instance, let assume x = 1 and y = 2

3x + 4y = 3 + 4 = 7

(3)(4) + xy = (3)(4) + (1 * 2) = 12 + 2 = 14

So, the expressions are not the same and Alexander is incorrect.

The estimated total cost, y, of a child’s toy is partially based on the number of batteries used, x. The cost of one battery is
mixas84 [53]

Answer: The equation that represents the give situation is, y = 0.75 x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, x represents the number of batteries the child bought and y represents the total cost.

Since, the cost of one batteries = $ 0.75

⇒ The cost of x batteries = 0.75 x

The cost of one toy = $ 12

Hence, the total cost = The cost of one toy + The cost of x batteries

= y = 0.75 x + 12

Which is the required equation that represents the given situation.

Combine like terms.<br><br> - 2/3p + 1/5 - 1 + 5/6p
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

1/6 p -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2/3p + 1/5 - 1 + 5/6p

When I combine like terms, I put them next to each other.

- 2/3p + 5/6p+ 1/5 - 1

We need to get a common denominator of 6 for the p terms

-2/3 *2/2 p + 5/6 p

-4/6p + 5/6 p

1/6 p


We need to get a common denominator of 5 for the contant terms

1/5 - 1*5/5

1/5-5/5

-4/5


Substituting these in

2/3p + 5/6p+ 1/5 - 1

1/6 p -4/5

Find the value of r (5,9) (r,7) m=-4
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

r = 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

m = slope

slope, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

-4 = (7 - 9)/(r - 5)

cross multiply

-4(r - 5) = 7 - 9

clearing brackets

-4r + 20 = -2

-4r = -22

r = 22/4 = 11/2
