Answer: Hi!
Okay. So this equation we will solve using something called the distributive property. We use the distributive property to multiply the terms inside the parentheses (x and -2) by the term outside and in front of the parentheses (4). First, we would multiply 4 * x, which is 4x. Then, we would multiply 4 * -2, which is -8. Out equation now looks like this:
4x - 8 = 14
Our goal is to isolate the x, so now we'll use inverse operations to remove the -8 from the equation. The inverse operation for subtraction is addition, so we would add 8 to both sides:
4x - 8 = 14
+ 8 + 8
The eights cancel out, so we're left with this equation:
4x = 22
Last step! We're almost done. All we have to do now is divide 4 on both sides; in the term 4x, 4 is being multiplied by x, so the inverse operation would be division.
4x ÷ 4 = x
22 ÷ 4 = 5.5
Our equation now looks like this:
x = 5.5
So, 5.5 is equal to x! This would be your answer!
Hope this helps!

Answer:
3a by 4a
Step-by-step explanation:
For dimensions L and W, the area and perimeter are ...
A = LW = 12a^2
P = 2(L+W) = 14a
Using the second equation, we can find L:
L +W = 7a . . . . . divide by 2
L = 7a -W
Substituting into the area formula gives the quadratic ...
(7a -W)(W) = 12a^2
W^2 -7aW +12a^2 = 0 . . . . arrange in standard form
(W -3a)(W -4a) = 0 . . . . . . . factor (find factors of 12 that total 7)
Then we have the two solutions ...
W = 3a, L = 4a
W = 4a, L = 3a
The rectangle dimensions are 3a by 4a.
Answer:
116
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a.) 1/2
b.) 1/8
c.) 5/8
d.) 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
for A it is asking for probability of 1 and is 1/2 of the circle
for B it is asking for probability of 3 and it is 1/2 of and 1/4 of the circle so 1/8
for C it is asking for probability of the odd numbers and there is tow odd numbers 1 and 3 the probability of 1 is 1/2 and the probability of 3 is 1/8 adding them up will give you 5/8
for d it asks for the probability of at least 2 so therefor 2, 3, and 4 and they are 1/8 + 1/8 + for 1/4 = 1/2
The answer is (3) 4896.
This number comes from multiplying 18 x 17 x 16
This is because any of the 18 students could be picked as a leader. Then, any of the remaining 17 students could be picked as a recorder. Then, any of the remaining 16 students could be picked as a timekeeper. Therefore, you multiply 18 by 17 by 16 to get 4896 combinations.
