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.

What is the equation in the slope intercept form of the line that passes through the point (2,-2) and is perpendicular to the li
Igoryamba

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is 2/5 and the slope of the new line will be -5/2 because the negative reciprocal creates a perpendicular line. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.

(y--2)=-5/2(x-2)

y+2=-5/2x+10/2

y=-5/2x+5-2

y= -5/2x+3

Amanda [17]

Answer: 6,160,000 db

Step-by-step explanation:

The sound of a jet engine is 70,000 times louder than that of a lawn mower.

Since we know the sound of a lawnmower, we can multiply that by 70,000 to find the sound of a jet engine:

= Sound of lawnmower * 70,000

= 88 * 70,000

= 6,160,000 db

The formula c = 5p + 215 relates c, the total cost in dollars of hosting a birthday party at a skating rink, to p, the number of
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: a. p = c/5 - 43        b. 17 people

Step-by-step explanation:

c= 5p + 215  

A)  a said solve for p so we will solve for p in the equation.

c= 5p + 215  First   Subtract 215 from both sides

-215     -215  

c - 215 = 5p Now divide both sides by 5.

p = c/5 - 43  

B)  If c is the total cost  of hosting a birthday party then we will input 300 into the equation for c and solve for p.

300 = 5p + 215    First subtract 215 from both sides

-215             -215

 85 = 5p      Divide both sides by 5

 p = 17  

This means  17 people can attend the meeting if Allies parents are willing to spend $300.
