Answer: God
Step-by-step explanation: LORD HAVE MERCY
The distributive property is a simplification rule that does not change the value of an expression. Nothing need be done to the other side of the equation.
q = -4(3+x)
q = -4*3 -4*x . . . . . the -4 is distributed. The right side has not changed value.
Answer is -8
(-1)+(-7) turns into (1)+(7)=8 and then back to original which will be -8
Answer:
x = 14
y = 4
Explanation:
Ok so, just from looking at the two triangles i can tell they're congruent right triangles. I used different colors to show which sides of the triangle correspond and are equal to each other in my attatched photo.
So the side thats equal to x is the same length as the side that's equal to y+10 on the other triangle.
So we can write the equation x = y + 10.
Using this same method, the side that's equal to x + 2 is the same length as the side that's equal to 4y on the other triangle.
So, we can write the equation 4y = x + 2.
Now we have the equations
you could rewrite to be in slope- intercept form so they're easier to graph. But a graphing calculator online would plot it just fine.
If you graph these two equations they'll intersect at the solution ( 14, 4 ). I'll include the graph in my images as well.
To check your answer, you can plug in x and y and see if the triangle sides end up being the same length. I did and it was correct.
