Hmm... That's hard!

Well, I ended up with 19 7/10 but I'm a bit sure its incorrect. Here's how I got my answer.

First, you look what's in the parentheses. -20 1/2. Hmm. Just that? Then look at the number outside. 4/5. Just subtract 20 1/2 and 4/5. If there was no subtraction sign, you could've just multiplied... but teachers just want to melt your brain...

What is the slope of the graph of 4 x + 8 y = 11?

Karolina [17]

Answer:

B -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+8y = 11

We need to get the equation in the slope intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-4x+8y = -4x+11

8y = -4x+11

Divide by 8

8y/8 = -4x/8 +11/8

y = -1/2x +11/8

The slope is -1/2 and the y intercept is 11/8

How to solve 2x(x+3)=2x^2+15

Travka [436]

Answer: x = 5/2 = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given expression</u>

2x (x + 3) = 2x² + 15

<u>Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property</u>

2x · x + 2x · 3 = 2x² + 15

2x² + 6x = 2x² + 15

<u>Subtract 2x² on both sides</u>

2x² + 6x - 2x² = 2x² + 15 - 2x²

6x = 15

<u>Divide 6 on both sides</u>

6x / 6 = 15 / 6

x = 15/6

$\boxed{x=\frac{5}{2} }$

Hope this helps!! :)

Which inequality has no solution?<br> 6(x+2) > x-3<br> 3+4x2(1+ 2x)<br> -2(x+6) X-9 <3(x-3)

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

$6(x + 2) > x - 3$

$6x + 12 > x - 3$

$6x - x > - 12 - 3$

$5x > - 9$

$3 + 4 \times 2(1 + 2x)$

$3 + 8(1 + 2x)$

$3 + 8 + 16x$

$11 + 16x$

$- 2(x + 6)x - 9 < 3(x - 3)$

$- 2( {x}^{2} + 6x) - 9 < 3x - 9$

$- 2 {x}^{2} - 12x - 9 < 3x - 9$
