Okay, just break it up so you're not overwhelming yourself or anything :)
So here, do it in steps-
Let's do 5(3 + t) first:
Distribute the 5, or in non-mathematical terms, just multiply 5 by 3 and t. This will give you 15 + 5t.
Now onto -3(t + 1):
Again, just multiply -3 by t and 1. This will come out to: -3t - 3.
*Note: the 3 is negative because it's "MINUS 3" in the original equation and remember that any number times a negative, if it isn't negative itself, will turn out to be negative.... (aka "-" x "-" = "+" | "+" x "+" = "+" | "-" x "+" = "-")*
ANYWAY
Now just put both answer together and you get:
15 + 5t -3t - 3. You can only add and minus the LIKETERMS (which are the things that are the same) - in this case, the liketerms are 15 and -3 ,,,, AND 5t and -3t.
15 - 3 = 12
5t - 3t = 2t
12 + 2t is your final answer. Hope that helps! :)
Height of the trapezoids = sqrt (17^2 - 8^2) = 15cms
base = 19 cms
(b) area of each trapezoid = 15/2 (35 + 19) = 405 cm^2
Total area painted blue = 2*405 = 810 cm^2
(c) length of the edges of one trapezoid = 35 + 19 + 2(17) = 88 cms
So one piece of sandpaper ( can sand up to 80 cm) will not be enough to sand all of the edges.
The translation of the sum a and n is a+n
Answer:
b =15
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use Pythagoras theorem to find b:
64 + 
= 289
64 + 225 = 289
64 + 
= 289
b = 15
hope this helps :) and sorry if not right
