Which pair shows equivalent expressions?
A.2(2/5x + 2)=2 2/5x + 1
B.2(2/5x + 2)=4/5x + 4
C.2(2/5x + 4)=4/5x + 2
D.2(2/5x + 4)=2 2/5x + 8
Solution:
Let us distribute 2 inside the parenthesis.
That is, we use distributive property:
a(b+c)=ab+ac
So, 
Answer:Option (b)
Applying distributive property, a(b+c)=ab+ac
So, Option (B) is correct.
Answer:
f(-2) = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 is x, so replace x as -2 into the equation
f (-2) = 2(-2) + 3
f (-2) = -4 + 3
f (-2) = -1
Answer:
Pizza parlor's profit = $515.344
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Linear regression line for pizza parlor's profit
y = 2.009x - 37.131
x represents the number of pizzas sold
y represent the profit in dollars
Profit for 275 pizzas
Putting x = 275 in given equation
y = 2.009(275) - 37.131
y = 552.475 - 37.131
y = 515.344
Hence,
Pizza parlor's profit = $515.344
The function would be y = 0.45x, x being the number of seconds, y being the items he can ring up.
For example (this is an example only to show how this equation works), if we were looking at how many items the cashier can ring in 5 seconds, we would make the equation y = 0.45(5), and with multiplication, we can find that they would ring 2.25 items ( y = 2.25 )

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>
Equation: x + 2 = 7/8x - 15
Solution: x = -136
<u>Explanation</u><u>:</u>
x + 2 = 7/8x - 15
2 + 15 = 7/8x - x
17 = 7/8x - 8/8x
17 = -1/8x
17 × -8 = x
-136 = x
