5(-3p + 7) + 5(p - 1) = 0
-15p + 35 + 5p - 5 = 0
-10p + 30 = 0
-10p = -30
p = 3

Well first u gotta simplify the equation by multiplying the outside number (the 5) into the parenthesis.

Original: 5(-3p+7)
simplified: -15p+35

and then you do the same for the other part.

Original: 5(p-1)
Simplified: 5p-5

Now thats done, you now have the new equation as -15+35+5p-5

And finally you combine like terms and your final answer should be -10p+30

A baseball team has 15 field players and 10 pitchers. Each field player can take any of the 8 non-pitching positions. What is th

leonid [27]

Answer:

If order matters: 2,594,592,000 ways.

If order does not matter: 64,350 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the order matters when picking the non-pitching positions (since they are different positions), the number of possible different starting lineups is given by the permutation of picking 8 players out of 15, multiplied by 10 (pick one out of 10 pitchers):

$n =10*\frac{15!}{(15-8)!}\\ n=10*15*14*13*12*11*10*9*8\\n=2,594,592,000$

Now if the order of the field players is not important, the number of possible starting lineups is given by the combination of picking 8 players out 15, multiplied by 10:

$n = n =10*\frac{15!}{(15-8)!8!}\\ n=\frac{10*15*14*13*12*11*10*9*8}{8*7*6*5*4*3*2} \\n=64,350$

Therefore, the number of ways to pick the starting lineup is:

If order matters: 2,594,592,000 ways.

If order does not matter: 64,350 ways

The number of cookies Natalie can bake varies directly with the time she

CaHeK987 [17]

We already know that 0.5 of an hour, or half of an hour, is 30 minutes. We also know that 3 dozen equals 36. With this information, we can conclude that Natalie can make 72 cookies in one hour. 72 times 5 is 360. 360 divided by 12 is 30, so, Natalie can bake 30 dozen, or 360, cookies in five hours.

Three times a number plus 16

DochEvi [55]

To solve this, we simply need to break down the words and turn each part into an equation.

"Three times"
This shows that we will be multiplying 3 and something.
3*

"a number"
This shows that the number we will be multiplying 3 by is "n," which represents a number.
3*n or 3n

"plus 16"
This shows we will be adding 16 to the rest of the equation.
3n+16

Using the logic above, we can see that the equation to represent this is 3n+16.
