Yes, there was a mistake in applying the distributive property. If you have to perform

3(2x-5)

you have to multiply both terms in the parenthesis by 3, not just the first one.

So, the correct expansion would be

3(2x-5) = 3\cdot 2x - 3 \cdot (-5) = 6x-15

she has not distributed - 5 by 3 = - 15

4x = 7 + 3(2x - 5) ( distribute by 3 )

4x = 7 + 6x - 15 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

4x - 6x = 7 - 15

- 2x = - 8 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = \frac{- 8}{- 2} = 4

Y axis is counting by 2's
it started at 2 and went up to 6
Y = 4

X axis is counting by 2'2
starts at one goes to 3
X = 2

Slope is 4/2 because rise over run
4/2 = 2
Slope is simplified to 2.

What is the measure of angle b​
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle will add up to a degree of 180, so if you add those 2 angles then subtract it from 180 you will get the answer. So, 115+31=146 then 180-146=34

So the answer is 34

Derek owns a landscape business. He charges a fixed fee of $30 plus $1 per 1,000 square feet of lawn mowed. Derek's earnings (in
luda_lava [24]

From the given problem statement alone, we can say that the equation relating the area of the lawn mowed and the earnings has a linear relationship. That is because there is a constant increase in the earnings per area which is $1 per 1000 square feet.

Therefore the equation must be in the form of:

y = m x + b

where,

y = is the total earnings

m = is the fee per area = 1 / 1000

x = is the area of the lawn

b = is the fixed fee = 30

 

Therefore the equation becomes:

y = 0.001 x + 30

 

Rewriting this in terms for x since we are to find the area:

x = (y – 30) 1000

 

when y = 204

x = (204 – 30) 1000 = 174,000 square feet

 

when y = 344

x = (344 – 30) 1000 = 314,000 square feet

 

when y = 450

x = (450 – 30) 1000 = 420,000 square feet

 

when y = 482

x = (482 – 30) 1000 = 452,000 square feet

 

when y = 504

x = (504 – 30) 1000 = 474,000 square feet
