Okay. So, what we do first is do the distributive property by multiply each number in the parenthesis by 3. When we do that, we get (6x + 12), because 3 * 2x is 6x and 4 * 3 is 12. Now, the numbers written out in long form is 5 + 6x + 12 + 6. 6x is in simplified form, because there is nothing that we can combine it with, but we do need to combine the whole numbers. 5 + 12 is 17, and 17 + 6 is 23. The expression in simplified form is 6x + 23. The answer is B.
Answer: -129
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given the sequence {-3, 6, -12, 24, ... }, we can see that the first term (a) is -3 and the ratio (r) is .
Input those values into the Sum formula:
Answer:
Each side is 320 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
1600/5=320 or 320x5=1600
To get the distance between
and , we subtract from
That is,
We change the mixed number to improper fraction now to get,
This is the same as,
We collect LCM to be 4
This gives us,
Convert back to mixed number to get,
Therefore the distance between the two numbers is
Note that the other way round will result in negative value. That is subtracting 6 from will give
But since this is distance we find the absolute value and get the same result.
That is correct, however, you need to keep in mind that each bacteria created will multiply the same way the original does, so you have exponential growth
