Can someone help me solve this equation -5(3x-4)+4=114

2 answers:

8 0

Using distributive property you would do what it is in the parentheses first. So -5(3x-4) would be -15x+20. It would be a positive 20 because you multiplied a negative with another negative. Youre equation now would be -15x+20+4=114.
Using like terms you would simplify 20 and 4 to get -15x+24=114. To get variable x alone you would subtract 24 to both sides of the equal sign to get -15x=90. Now you would just divide -15 to both sides to get x alone. So you would now get x=(-)18.2

-15x divided by 90 is 6, not 18.2. So your answer is -6

What is 7 (1+10p) + 8 (1 + 6p)

Komok [63]

Answer:

58p+15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we want to get rid of the parentheses in the equation. To do that, let's start with 7(1+10p). We multiply 7 by each item in the parenthesis, and get 7+70p. Keep that little thing in mind, we will use it later. Next, same process with the other part, and we get 8+48p. We multiplied both parts out, so now we just add like terms. 7 and 8 don't have letters, so we add them to get 15. 10p and 48p do have letters, so we add those together and get 58p. We can't add that to the other numbers, because 58p is 58 times p, and 15 doesn't have that p so it wouldn't work without knowing p. What we are left with, by simplifying the problem, is 58p+15, or 15+58p. The order doesn't matter, as long as you have that answer.

The basketball team spends 20 minutes running laps and at least 15 minutes discussing plays. Practice lasts one hour and 45 minu

Allushta [10]

Answer:

x ≤ 75

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the inequality function is as follows:

Let us assume the remaining time left for other drills be x

Given that the team spends 20 minutes for running laps

And minimum of 15 minutes for discussing plays

Also practicing for last one hour and 45 minutes

Now as we know that

1 hour = 60 minutes

So total minutes would be

= 60 + 45

= 105 minutes

Total minutes spend by the team is

= 20 + 15

= 35 minutes

So now the remaining time left is

x ≤ 105 - 35

x ≤ 75
