-8(5v - x - 5) =
-40v + 8x + 40 <==

** u r basically multiplying that -8 by every term in the parenthesis...
(-8 * 5v) + (-8 * -x) + (-8 * -5) =
-40v + 8x + 40

Hi there!

The Distributive Property allows us to multiply the term outside of the parenthesis by all terms inside of the parenthesis.

Here’s an example;
2(1 + 3)
2(1) + 2(3)
2 + 6
8.

Hopefully this example and explanation has helped you understand the concept of using the Distributive Property.

Now, let’s apply this to our current expression.

-8(5v - x - 5)

Remember that when you multiply a negative by a positive, the product remains negative. When you multiply a negative by a negative, the product is positive.

-8(5v - x - 5)
-8(5v) = -40v
-8(-x) = 8x
-8(-5) = 40

Our product is:
-40v + 8x + 40

I hope this helps!

What coordinate do lines 2/3x+1/6y=2/3 and 4x+y=4 meet?

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The coordinates of the lines when both lines meets at point is ( 0, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The two lines are

$\frac{2}{3}$ x + $\frac{1}{6}$ y = $\frac{2}{3}$

And 4 x + y = 4

The coordinate of the lines are obtained when the two lines intersect

Let the coordinate of intersection points are ( x , y )

Now , The first lines as

$\frac{2}{3}$ x + $\frac{1}{6}$ y = $\frac{2}{3}$

Or, Taking LCM we get ,

$\frac{4x + y}{6}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$

Cross multiplication both sides

Or, 3 × ( 4 x + y ) = 2 × 6

Or, 3 × 4 x + 3 × y = 12

Or, 12 x + 3 y = 12 ...........A

Other line is 4 x + y = 4

i.e 3 × ( 4 x + y ) = 3 × 4

or, 12 x + 3 y = 12 .........B

Solving both the line equations

(12 x + 3 y ) - ( 12 x + 3 y ) = 12 - 12

I.e x = 0 and y = 0

So coordinates are ( x , y ) = ( 0 , 0 )

Hence The coordinates of the lines when both lines meets at point is ( 0, 0 ) Answer

In the problem below, AB, CD, and EF are two-digit numbers, where A, B, C, D, E and F represent distinct digits from 1 to 9. Is

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

When both the conditions hold true, F is prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

AB, CD, and EF are two-digit numbers, where A, B, C, D, E and F represent distinct digits from 1 to 9.

+ CD

--------

1st condition, B and D are consecutive.

Adding B and D gives us F.

Possible values can be (F being the unit value after adding not considering the carry over):

B + D = F

1+2=3

2+3=5

3+4=7

4+5=9

5+6=1

6+7=3

7+8=5

8+9=7

Here F is not prime (because 9 is not prime).

Now, let us consider the 2nd condition as well.

i.e. C = 8

For the following

+ CD

--------

C is 8 then A must be 1 because any value other than 1 for A will make the sum of A and C greater than 9 and there will be a carry which is not the case here.

So, E = 8 + 1 = 9

Now, B and D are consecutive and can not be 1, 8 or 9.

So, possible values are:

B + D = F

2 + 3 = 5

3 + 4 = 7

Here F is prime.

So, when both the conditions hold true, F is prime.

Can some one help me with the questions?

Notice that x+4 is one of the denominators, and that x(x+4) is the LCD.

Thus, mult. ------- by x(x+4), obtaining x^2.

Next, mult. [ 1/x + 1/(x+4) by x(x+4), obtaining x+4 + x = 2x+4 or 2(x+4)
x^2
Then the simplified fraction becomes ----------

Generally Brainly allows you to post only 1 or 2 questions at a time. I will do #15 as a courtesy to you, but want you to try #16 yourself (or to post it separately).

-4, 2, 8, 14, ... is an arithm. seq. Every new term is equal to the previous term, plus 6: -4+6 = 2; 2+6=8, and so on. Thus: first term is a = -4; common difference is d = 6

a(50) = a(1) + (50-1)(6), or a(50) = -4 + (49)(6) = 290 (answer)
