Question:

Expand and simplify 5(x - 1) - 3(x + 4)

Answer:

1.) Use the distributive property to solve this equation:

5(x - 1) = 5x - 5

3(x + 4) = 3x + 12

2.) Put it in the equation:

5x - 5 - 3x + 12

3.) Group them:

5x - 3x - 5 + 12

4.) Simplify:

2x - 7
which is the answer.

Hope this helped! :))

So first it’s 5x-5-3x-12( got this using distributive property)
Now we simplify by combining like terms so 5x-3x=2x
And -5-12=-17
Ending to be 2x-17

Answer:

C option is correct.

t = 8 +- √ 1− 4 d

Step-by-step explanation:

d=−16t^2 +4t

A rectangle is divided into equal squares. One row covers 1/8 of the whole rectangle. There are 3 squares in each row. How many

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

There are 24 squares in the entire rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Trom the problem, we are given that one row covers 1/8 of the entire rectangle.

We are also told that this one row, contains three squares.

In other words, what this means is that three squares cover 1/8 of the entire rectangle.

The question is now if three squares cover only 1/8 of the rectangle, how many squares cover the whole rectangle.

In fraction, we can represent a whole using 1/1

We can set up a simple relation to this effect.

3 squares give 1/8 of the rectangle

x squares give 1/1 of the rectangle

cross multiplying, we have

x = 3 ÷(1/8) = 24

Therefore, there are 24 squares in the entire rectangle

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

I do believe that the answer is 0 solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+10 =x+5

Subtract 5 from both sides, you get:

x+5=x

Subtract x from both sides, and you get:

5=0 which is NOT true. Also I maybe wrong, pls don't be mad at me.

2. Find the equation of a line<br>a) With a slope of 4, passing through the origiin

madreJ [45]

Answer:

$y=4x$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of the line</u>

A line can be expressed in many forms.

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Being m the slope and b the y-intercept.

The point-slope form of the equation of a line is:

y-k=m(x-h)

Where m is the slope and (h,k) is a point through which the line passes.

The equation of a line passing through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) can be found as follows:

$\displaystyle y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

We are required to find a line with slope m=4 passing through the origin (0,0).

Using the point-slope form:

y-0=4(x-0)

Simplifying

$\boxed{y=4x}$
