y = x + 5

If it's perpendicular the slope is the opposite inverse of the other line,

The slope of line y = x + 5 is 1, because it's the number before x, so, the opposite inverse would be -1/1 = -1.

Review the expression below -2(a+b-5)+3(-5a+2b)+b(6a+b-8)

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

6ab + b^2 - 17a - 4b + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(a+b-5)+3(-5a+2b)+b(6a+b-8)

Now we break the parenthesis. To break that, we multiply each of the value inside the parenthesis by the adjacent number. That is, for the first part of the expression, we multiply by -2, then by 3, and then by b.

Algebraic Operations need to be considered:

[ (-) x (-) = (+); (-) x (+) = (-)]

= [-(2*a) + (-2*b) - (-2*5)] + [3*(-5a) + (3*2b)] + [(b*6a) + (b*b) - (b*8)]

= -2a - 2b +10 -15a + 6b + 6ab + b^2 - 8b

Now, we will make the adjustment by the similarity value.

= - 2a - 15a - 2b + 6b - 8b + 6ab + b^2 + 10

= - 17a - 4b + 6ab + b^2 + 10

= 6ab + b^2 - 17a - 4b + 10

Therefore, the answer of the expression is = 6ab + b^2 - 17a - 4b + 10

An engineer is designing a storage compartment in a spacecraft .The compartment must be 2 meters longer than it is wide, and its

serg [7]

Answer:

Let x be the width of the compartment,

Then according to the question,

The length of the compartment = x + 2

And the depth of the compartment = x -1

Thus, the volume of the compartment, $V = (x+2)x(x-1) = x^3 + x^2 - 2x$
