Answer:

14x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

9x + 5(x + 4)

Apply the Distributive Property:

$9x+5(x+4)=9x+5x+20$

$9x+5x+20$

Combine Like Terms:

The like terms are 9x and 5x.

$9+5=14$

$9x+5x+20=14x+20$

The simplified equation is: $14x+20$

What are the solutions of the equation x^4-9x^2+8=0? Use u substitution to solve.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The answer is the second option

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u=x^2.

$( {x}^{2} ) {}^{2} - 9( {x}^{2} ) + 8( {x}^{2} ) {}^{0}$

${u}^{2} - 9u + 8$

$(u - 1)(u - 8)$

$u = 1$

$u = 8$

Set this equal to x^2

${x}^{2} = 1$

$x = 1$

$x = - 1$

${x}^{2} = 8$

$x = 2 \sqrt{2}$

$x = - 2 \sqrt{2}$

(7,-1) and ( 21,-5) what is the slope

mart [117]

Answer:

-2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Going from (7,-1) to ( 21,-5) we see x (the 'run') increasing by 14 and y (the 'rise') decreasing by 4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = rise/run = -4/14, or -2/7.

noname [10]

Answer:

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 2x - 5 +4x = 7 + 6x

3x - 5 = 7 +6x

-3x -3x

-5 = 7 + 3x
